Nothing like a bit of metal to start off your day, eh? Soul “Dream Explorer” Strings (because two names are better than one!) has a new instrumental metal track entitled Patchwork, so called because it consists of many parts. It’s a really interesting piece that keeps changing tempo, key and time signature!
Original
Luna Jax – Maybe That’s Just What I Need | Soft Rock
Luna Jax’s voice is always a delight to my ears, and this song is no exception. Heartfelt lyrics that tell a story involving Dashie and Gilda, beautiful harmonies, and a great instrumental backing it up; and it was written for FAWM, so hopefully there’ll be a few more songs to come 😉
Octavia – Nothing But Love | Orchestral
EQD picked up this one before us, but we thought we’d do a post on it anyway, since it’s a very pretty piece. Driven by a piano and accompanied by strings, this somewhat melancholic piece struck a chord with me. No pun intended…no, really!
Throwback Thursday | Kreühn Pöny | Artist Spotlight
You may or may not have heard of this musician, they were one of the more, shall we say, elusive members of the fandom. Kreühn Pöny specialised in jazzy stuff; songs with odd time signatures and irregular beat patterns. You know, a similar feel that of SoGreatandPowerful’s music (which is a completely different kettle of fish that we’ll revisit another time!). So without further ado, let’s get to his small yet brilliant discography! Catch it all after the break…
Mad Mars – Dueling Hearts | Piano-Pop
Part 4 of Mad Mars’ Lovesong Equestria series (go check his channel for the others), we have a new song with the classic Celestia/Luna theme. Go check it out for your fix of ballads.
Dragonal – I Stand Alone (Remaster) | Metal
Dragonal is a somewhat new Australian metal musician, whose style reminds me more than a little bit of Prince Whateverer’s early forays in the fandom. Needless to say, this remaster of one of his first brony tunes is well worth a listen, and Dragonal is definitely one to watch out for.
うすうすベア – It’s Derpy Day! | Chipcore
No, that’s not an actual Japanese musician, just another one of fractilx’s aliases. We’re a bit late with this one, but they made a song for Derpy Day (1st March) and it’s super cute! A blend of Chiptune and Happy Hardcore, this certainly got me smiling, I hope it does the same for you.
Virus Ponies & Flutterpride – Louder | Future House
2 lesser-known musicians here, both with less than 100 subs, so those of you who like to discover new artists are in for a treat! Future House seems to be all the rage nowadays, so go check it out if you’re on the same bandwagon as Virus Ponies and Flutterpride.
Crusader! – The Legend of The Selfie Pony | Acoustic
Gather round, kids, and listen to Crusader! tell the story of The Selfie Pony, the legendary character who goes round conventions taking selfies with everyone. Perhaps some day, Selfie Pony will visit your town…
Jyc Row – Hearth’s Warming Eve Con 2016 Theme | Orchestral
Jyc Row has become one of my favourite orchestral producers in the fandom in a short amount of time, and here he’s managed to come up with a suitably epic theme for the Hearth’s Warming Con, in The Netherlands.
