NB: The following is taken and adapted from PonyvilleFM’s announcement on the album release.

Ponies at Dawn are proud to announce the release of their 9th album, Voyager, jam packed with an incredible line up of music from a whole host of fandom artists. Their biggest album yet, with 58 tracks, there’s sure to be something for everybody here. Music from big names such as Replacer, UndreamedPanic, 4Everfreebrony and Aurelleah, Ponies at Dawn regulars like EnsionD, ThatMusicBrony and Francis Vace, as well as plenty of other newcomers and veterans alike helps to make this one of the most diverse and awesome experiences the brony music community is capable of putting together. As always, there’s a whole host of genres available to listen to, with EDM, orchestral, metal, rock, and much more!

To celebrate the release of the album, PonyvilleFM will be hosting a Live Release Party starting at 17:00 UTC / 13:00 EDT this Friday the 7th of October leading up to the album’s live play. Then, at 20:00 UTC / 16:00 EDT, the Ponies at Dawn album – Voyager – will be played LIVE and in FULL, hosted by PonyvilleFM’s very own variety radio show, Lycan Dese Beats.

Immediately following the album’s release, Voyager will be available from the Ponies at Dawn bandcamp for whatever price you’d like to pay (including $0). However, if you are so excited and just can’t wait, it is available as a pre-order right now starting from just $1. As with last time, all the money made by the album from donations on BandCamp will go towards the artists as thanks for the hard work put in to get on.

Totalspark & AnimatronicPony – Oceans of Sky | Chillout

Collaboration time! This song made by both Totalspark and AnimatronicPony is really something to admire. The soft, melodic synth sounds layered with strings sound great, and the drums make a good addition without turning the track into something overly heavy.

ApostropheShy – Smile | Happy Hardcore

I only see happy hardcore songs every now and again, but it’s always a pleasure when one pops up in my sub feed. This song from ApostropheShy seems to be a little bit more than just a remix, with extensive reworking of the vocals; and the changes in beat pattern allow for a nice variation too.

4everfreebrony – Bound With Time (Synthis Remix) | Drum & Bass

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 2 October 2016.

Start the day with a 4everfreebrony song, end it with a remix of it! This remix from Synthis turns up the tempo and adds some bass to the mix that helps to accentuate some of the good qualities of the original whilst also giving it a distinctly Synthis flair.

Aside

Direct Current – Migration EP | Electronic


I do find it rather impressive how Direct Current is able to put out an actual themed EP every couple of months or so. His latest one, Migration, puts the focus on pegasi, which I suppose look like swans when standing in water, so album art kinda fits…right? Regardless, full writeup after the beak break as per usual.

[P@D] GROskAr & NextLevelDerp – Horseing Around | UK Hardcore

ARE YOU READY TO GO HARDCORE? Time for another feature from the upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Voyager, and a track from two excellent producers from the heavier side of the electronic music scene. Combine GROskAr’s affinity for heavy growls and NLD’s experience making hardcore and you get this madness, with an apt title too!

&I ft. Chi-Chi – Into The Green (ThisSideOfOblivion Remix) | Synthpop

We were a bit late picking up on this one, but that’s understandable when it’s someone who’s only recently started publishing music! This remix of the classic Into The Green from ThisSideOfOblivion follows a sort of dark-ish synthpop style and even features some custom vocal chopping – always nice to see people take on that stylistic element.

4everfreebrony – Bound With Time | Pop-Rock

Our inbox seems to have been full of 4everfreebrony recently (hint hint, more to come). Here’s a new song from him touching on the topic of Twilight and immortality, similar to Stay, his first song released since his return home. Those two are also due to be featured on an album he’s working on, so that’s definitely something to look forward to!

4everfreebrony – Hoping (DJRedSky Remix/Cover) | Deep House

Based on a cover DJRS himself did of the 4everfreebrony song Hoping from about a year ago, they’ve gone and remixed it using the vocal track from said version. Turns out those vocals sped up to ~120bpm work pretty well with a deep house style beat underneath, with the instruments following a classic 90s house feel – a both chill and blissful rendition of the original.
