March was a great month for compilation albums, with a brand new major Ponies At Dawn album, a new volume of Horse Music Central music, and a winter-themed EP curated by Cider Party. With so many single releases from other artists too, we’ve had a great variety to choose from this month!

Frozen Night is back with another one of his masterpieces! Cosmic Dream evokes visions of soaring through the aether on wings of starlight. He perfectly blends atmospheric effects and burning guitars into a distilled draught of energy. Throughout the song, it’s easy to picture Celestia flying through the ionosphere, casting her mighty spell to raise the sun once more.
With the instrumental produced by the amazing Andy Feelin, Velvet brings the 80’s Pop vibes with this song. The lyrics were amazing and Velvet vocals were on point. A true example of how brony music evolves! Good job Velvet! Keep up the good work!
PS: If you comment on this video and give to Velvet your postal code via private message, you will recive a postcard! The example is shown in the thumbnail of the video!
Kindness. A song that has always touched me on such a very powerful and inspirational level. I instantly want to write music each time I am reminded of this song. Coming from a huge Fluttershy fan myself, I can relate to sooo many people who share their stories with this song. Its legendary, Truly. 4Everfreebrony did an AMAZING cover of this Song. I hope Re:Make and Andy Stein see this because they really need to! They created a song with so much power and it’s beautiful to see that it still lives on through so many! Thank you soo much for reminding so many people why being a fan of Fluttershy is so awesome. Keep up the good work man. ^^ everybody, show some love! ❤
It’s been a little while, but we should all be excited because Reverbrony is back with some high quality remastered tracks! Heaven’s Eclipse is a heavy instrumental track depicting the power and might of the sun’s greatest enemy – Nightmare Moon! The drums are powerful and drive the fast tempo with insane double-pedal kicks. The angelic choir chanting behind the metal guitar adds a dimension of epicness and divinity to the powerful track. There’s even an interlude featuring a church organ to round out the theme of the track and keep you on your toes! All-in-all, Reverbrony makes a huge splash in his newest track!
The Shake-Ups are still going strong with their latest song, I’m the Draconequus. This track is a nod to the Beatles’ hit “I Am the Walrus” and depicts the master of chaos as he is now. Featuring excellent acoustic guitar work throughout, I’m the Draconequus is a mellow rock track, but not without group vocals and an accompanying violin that add the necessary chaos into the song.If you like some southern rock, country pop, or just some general chaos, then make sure to click on this video!

It’s that time again, where new songs from the show mean some musicians giving their own unique takes on them! Osoch has already managed to put together a few great metal show covers, so it’s no surprise to see this one from him. It makes good use of the vocals from the original, with some heavy guitar and percussion adding some nice energy.
It is (or rather was) the 2nd anniversary of the Horse Music Hotspot this February, and what better way to celebrate than to release the episode extremely late? I can only apologise for the delay, multiple issues from technical difficulties to IRL problems caused it, but better late than never!

StealingShad3z is back with an emotional track based off of the FimFic “Sleepless Nights”. The track has a soft overtone with beautiful, gentle vocals, while the drums contrast with rapid and uptempo beats. This layering of soft over fast creates an excellent juxtaposition to convey the themes of companionship and anxiety. The lyrics reflect the main character’s wishes not to be left alone in the hopes of battling insomnia, which Shad3z sings brilliantly.
Inspired by an old cover of the show’s first big hit (originally produced by SHAICO), Rockin’Brony re-creates Winter Wrap Up as a brilliant, symphonic instrumental. RB’s always top notch guitar soloing ability is really on display here, with several layers of great guitar work and shredding interspersed through the track. The drums are on point for the upbeat style and the bells really ring out the top-end of the mix for an extremely fun take on the beloved classic!
