We’ve got a real mishmash of both genres and nationalities in this one here. Jyc and Lia have often been featured both here on the site and on Ponies At Dawn albums in the past, but I believe this is the first time I’ve seen Kjellska’s name anywhere, and her sweet Japanese vocals are a welcome addition to the track! This one starts off as an orchestral piece but drops into some melodic dubstep and flows back and forth between the two for the duration of the song.

Vylet Pony – The Watcher (feat. Silva Hound & Lavender Harmony) | Soundtrack
InklingBear already covered this in his huge rwiteup of Vylet’s new album, Mystic Acoustics, but I thought this would be a particularly cool track to highlight individually. Not only is it the pinnacle of “fuck genres”, but having an entire animated video for it too is incredible, huge props to alumx for his work on it! Most of you have probably already seen this, but go watch it again anyway…you know it’s worth it.
The comment “assassins creed: horses” is pretty apt tbh
A State of Sugar – Lollipop | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
The team behind the trancey chill pony themed promo channel A State of Sugar have came together around 6 months ago to organise the collaborative’s first album. Now the album is finally ready, featuring both some of the regulars to the channel and a few new artists to the scene too! In total this one reaches 21 tracks, so if you’re still overwhelmed by the size of the Ponies At Dawn albums, this is something a little more digestible but still completely fresh for you to try out.
Lollipop is available to download from A State of Sugar’s Bandcamp page, and keep an eye out for some of the songs from it here on the site.
[P@D] bank pain & DJT – Vultures (feat. Wootmaster) | Hybrid Trap
Bank Pain and DJT has brought us an amazing mixture of dubstep and trap music all in one true and amazing banger. And of course what’s a banger without some hot vocals from Wootmaster himself? These three are amazing together and totally something you won’t regret listening to. They’ve got some tricks up their hooves throughout so you may be surprised with what they throw at your ears!
The Wonderbolts – Love and Tolerance is Dead | Classic Rock
My favorite pony band The Wonderbolts are going to perform at BronyCon and along these awesome news they’re treating us with an exclusive song proudly wearing a much Punk Rock title, Love and Tolerance is Dead! You can always count on Wootmaster, Arin, and the rest of the band to deliver the most delightful pony spirit in a tasteful rock fashion by making the amps scream and the guitars gently weep, and this one is no exception! Wootmaster’s lovely vocals are evolving from his signature style to a much more Classic Rock approach through the progression of the song and that is definitely an amazing surprise, with Classic Rock passion from the musician and singer shining through the masterful and nostalgic vocals that definitely make for a lot of emotion. Along catchy riffs and crazy drum work, the song lays out such a sweet and delectable vibe full of the power of rock music, and then it is time for the solo part to blow us away in a swirl of emotion, as lead guitar, rythm guitar, and bass guitar all complete each other for a stunning result. As the icing on the cake, the “Let’s Go!” sample from the Discovery Family MLP teasers is also present!! Truly a wonderful moment of merriment, musical appreciation and pony feelings courtesy of The Wonderbolts.
[P@D] PegasYs – Glimdonk | Glitch-Hop
Here’s something groovy from the one and only PegasYs. With real cute chiptune melodies and smooth sound design, and even go-go bells! Despite the song itself is only three minutes exactly, It’s still such a really bootyful track to listen to, especially in the good ol’ summertime. Now, ready to hit up the beach and play some ball?
[P@D] Crystarium & R3CTIFIER – Scimitar | Drumstep
Yooo! Some drumstep in Ponies @ Dawn? Hecks yeah! Go deep into the mysterious woods with Crystarium and R3ctifier with this exotic little banger. With awesome arrays of great sounding, crisp wubs and interesting trap-like sections of beats are definitely sure to get you off your tail and bop your head back and forth for a while.
P.S. there’s lasers throughout, be very careful!
Aelipse – Lucid Dreaming | Soundtrack
This is one artist that I have never heard before in this fandom, and that artist happens to be one special gem to find. Aelipse has delivered a wonderfully composed masterpiece with sweet sounding piano and vocals to the plate. This one is definitely a song that you do not want to miss out on if you are into really cool adventures.
[P@D] DJT & NeverLastStanding – Citadel / DerpyCrash & Hay Tea – Goodbye | Drum & Bass
DJT joins with NeverLastStading, in a Drum & Bass track that it’s pretty amazing! Great drop and synths, the samples used are pretty good. A banger from the depths of the latest Ponies At Dawn album: Guardians! The bell melody at the middle of the song is really astounding! A masterpiece of composition quality and great imagination!
From some really kickass and chill Liquid Drum & Bass, Hay Tea; a figure that has been in every Ponies At Dawn album since Celestial Planes, joins with DerpyCrash for making this great track! The melody, the vocals, the awesome bass design and the soft synths made this song also a great tune from the depths of Guardians. The sombre and atmospheric look that this track gives is really noticed and gave me chills. The smooth and minimal drums that feature almost every track done by Hay Tea are also the kings of the track along with the vocals!
Don’t forget to buy or download the full Ponies At Dawn album: Guardians!
