N4ghtwolf is back again with an impressive piece featuring vocals from Liv & Learn. The dark story it tells can be heard both in the instrumentation with a variety of strings and an organ, mixed with more electronic components, as well as in the grim lyrics. The concept-driven piece carries heavy emotions throughout, and definitely manages to convey the creepy feels in the atmosphere crafted in the story.
Year: 2019
[P@D] SDreamExplorerS – Vessel | Soft Rock
SDreamExplorerS brings about an ever-explorative rock piece. With a catchy opening riff, it immediately gratifies clicking on. Then to be followed by the benevolent vocals and the stiffening yet ambient distorted guitars atop it all. This thorough Ponies at Dawn release does some very inventive stuff, with notes and chords occasionally jumping to unexpected places. If you’re looking for a refreshing yet familiar song, this’ll fit in your rotation like matching pieces of a puzzle.
Ponytronic – Circadian Sleep | Chillout
Ponytronic has a penchant for making creepy-sounding music also sound chilled out. This one in particular is the 5th and final track off their recently released EP, Phantasm. Much of the music here consists of a dark melody played by soft synths with a deep bass in the background as well as a strong drum pattern, perfect for the Nightmare Night season. Check out the EP for more great tracks!
Rarity Advocate – Passacaglia | Orchestral
Matching the beautiful artwork of stargazing Rarity with a breathtaking composition on the organ of 12 minutes, Rarity Advocate definitely had another marvelous idea with this new track, that is very unique! We don’t get such pieces focused on the organ often in the community, and the soothing vibes from the sounds are definitely a wonderful accompaniment to the artwork!
Tripon – Wonderbolt Shuffle (feat. Single Purpose) | Neurofunk
Tripon‘s reimagining of The Wonderbolts Rap is funky, hard-hitting and dark, with the power of Neurofunk being blasted full-force at us once again by the master himself, and Single Purpose contributing to the beauty! Vocal samples are placed so masterfully among the rich atmosphere that definitely holds many delights of sound to appreciate. Part of Tripon’s Equestrian Ravers EP!
[P@D] LOROU – Epoch | Bass House
Track 42 from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal is Epoch, the debut of South Korean DJ LOROU with a bass house track! They’ve left us with a great first impression, featuring a catchy vocal line which repeats at different parts throughout the song while being backed by heavy basslines and sprinkles of chiptune synths. It’s always great hearing new producers come into the fandom. LOROU also appears on track 20 alongside Mantlegen and Eninarx with Lights Out, so check that one out!
[P@D] Koa – To The Nines | Electro Pop
Koa has really made her presence felt this year with a couple powerful live performances in addition to hit tracks like this new release from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal. To The Nines captures everything about Rarity’s work perfectly with the well-polished, flashy pop composition mixed fabulously with a moving bass to an excellent, upbeat tempo. The incredible synth work brightens up the song exactly how Rarity makes her dresses stand out. The vocals are elegant and dangerously catchy – but you’ll want to be singing along to this song all day anyway!
4everfreebrony – Soldiers of The Night (covering SlyphStorm) | Rock
There is something so satisfying about this song; perhaps it’s the incredible lyrics and melody, or maybe it’s the music that fits so perfectly with those lyrics, or maybe it’s both! Everything in this song fits so well together, it’s catchy, and, it’s about Luna. What more would anyone need?
SmD House – Perfectly Imperfect | Chillout
SmD House’s newest full-fledged track is bringing such soothing vibes with that starry lead echoing through the soundscape, and the refreshing beats! A deep Ambient part is taking the soul by surprise at midway, and the whole track is definitely a gorgeous work of art to savor!
[PP] Dynamite Grizzly & Enny – If, By Midnight, I Do Not Have a Fourth Pony Keg… | Gabber
Featured on Cider Party, this Gabber treat from the lovely duo of Dynamite Grizzly and Enny is definitely bringing the right vibes considering the theme of the album! Playing with vocal samples from an earlier gen on MLP (notice the mention of Scorpan), the hard-hitting track is featuring an awesome guitar work by Enny as well as Dynamite’s high-speed Gabber greatness for a killer combo! Available now on GABBA-CA-DABRA FOR PONIES!
