[P@D] Luck Rock & Friends – Do You Know | Pop Rock

Before I start this article, I want to say something very personal about Luck Rock. This song hits such a deep personal chord with me, as well as with the man with whom I am co-writing this, Makenshi. I have had the honor to know and watch Luck for the past four years in our local meetup group, watching him grow and achieve so much. As I write this, I would like the whole fandom to know something. I would not be writing for Horse Music Herald, or doing anything meaningful in this fandom if it were not for Luck Rock. He has inspired me, given me courage, sparked my creativity, and has been so incredibly kind by helping a guy who was lost in 2017 until I found this fandom. None of this would be possible without him just being the guy he is. And this song is his greatest achievement to date. So, let’s talk about that.

This new very lovely song from Dandelion is themed around Zecora and depicts so much of her character depth and imagined backstory, as explained in the description! The magical melodies are reminding me of OST music and I’m loving this deep character-driven track so much! Way to go Dandelion!

[The Rest of Our Lives] Tw3Lv3 – Upgrades | Liquid Drum & Bass

With lush and spacious piano chords, this drum and bass track by Tw3Lv3 instantly gratifies the decision of listening. Along with being a track on the collaborative album The Rest of Our Lives, this song contains a monumentally atmospheric interlude to soothe you into the desire to keep listening before the excitement given by the thunderous sub-basses and rhythmic, invigorating drums leads you into another smooth few minutes of drums and bass. A reverberated lead synth appropriately leads out this eight-minute adventure that is titled Upgrades.

[The Rest of Our Lives] Tw3Lv3 – River Of Dismay | Liquid Drum & Bass

Track 2 from The Rest of Our Lives is River of Dismay, the first of four appearances from Tw3Lv3 on the album. A liquid drum & bass piece, this one utilises a piano alongside the familiar heavy bass and quick drums to forge a brilliant nostalgic atmosphere, with the primary instruments occasionally grinding to a halt to let the piano take over and carry some emotion. Samples from The Legend of Zelda games, particularly that of Navi are dotted across the track to spice things up a tiny bit, without being too distracting. The emotion dripping from this song is unreal!

KeepOnRock’n Brony – Friendship is Magic (Royalpony Bootleg/Edit) | Hardstyle

(Listen to the the original Here )

Oh boy, If you honestly want a lot of deep rhythmic bass, a good amount of high engery nostalgia flavor with a dash of revisiond hardstyle melodies, then you are in the right place. This is RoyalPony’s remix of KeepOnRock’n Brony’s classic “Friendship is Magic”.  Royal has given an old Dubstep a new coat of paint, remixing with some extremely hard bass drops that hit you right in the face. The harmonics are just mind blowing with the flow of the track. Gotta love it when those iconic vocals from Twilight start talking to nightmare moon about finding that spark. The start of everything for every brony in this fandom is made to feel joyful. Royal puts some epic melodies into those moments to make it oh so special. This is a banger made into an epic crowd pleaser. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself

I absolutely love ASOS: Brownie and all of its awesome tracks, including this one! This song’s music is really chill, with drum and bass elements, some electronic elements, and a lot of ambience, which all compliment each other incredibly! Basically, this track is catchy, rhythmic, chill, and absolutely amazing!

Rarity Advocate – New Work | Alternate Electronic

Spicy titles aside, this new release by the talented Rarity Advocate is actually very fuzzy as it brings so much love in musical form! The “spring” vibes of the song, with the “rebirth” aspect of it perhaps represented by Philomena here, are completed wonderfully by sampling of vocals from Winter Wrap Up, and listening to this feels like trotting in Equestria on a first day of spring!

Studio Quinn – Discord’s Remorse | Indie Pop

Studio Quinn made such a lovely tribute to Discord’s character depth, accompanied by a fitting artwork by JustKat! The vocals sung in Discord’s perspective will make you sympathize for his struggles, and the Discord quotes in the video will remind you just how deep of a character he was always meant to be in the show!

Sawtooth Waves – To The Skies (feat. Chi-Chi) | Electropop

Sawtooth Waves, formerly known as Notion, returns with their first original in nearly 2 years! To The Skies is a cute and bouncy pop track featuring the adorable vocals of Chi-Chi as the part of Scootaloo, singing about the all-too familiar concept of her being unable to fly with her tiny wings and coping with her emotions all the while. Along with this banger comes a brilliant PMV, made by a talented group! Perfection in one single package.
