This track just hits you in the face as soon as it starts, with no chill. Grazy is an up and coming artist who has released some excellent tracks lately, with this one providing one of the best examples of fandom psytrance I’ve heard. Absolutely evoking the feeling of being lost in amongst a thunderstorm, the classic psy bass design combines perfect with orcherstral and vocal hits alongside some terrific stormy atmosphere. Definitely an artist to watch if they keep up stuff like this!

[P@D] Age Of Vinyl – Heroes of The Sky | Drum & Bass
Age of Vinyl’s drum & bass creations always impress me, and this is arguably one of his best yet. Creating a gorgeous emotion that pulls you in almost immediately, the drums are smooth and the vocal chops are the absolutely height of what I love about this sort of sound. Combined with the gentle bass and uplifting arpeggiation, it’s well worth a listen and certainly one of my favourite songs of this style to come out of the fandom!
TurquoisePianist – Aerial Exploration | Electronic/Orchestral
Newcomer TurquoisePianist brings us Aerial Exploration, an electronic track with orchestral composition that varies in styles throughout. When combined with the changing instrumental features, TurquoisePianist achieves a sense of viewing different cultures, giving the track a more worldly vibe – as though you are exploring from the sky! I really like the dancing bell section 3 minutes in and encourage everyone to listen to the exciting themes prevalent throughout the whole song!
[P@D] Osoch – An Eclipsed Land (feat. Pablo Mono & Chris Wöhrer) | Progressive Metal / Metalcore
Imagine Dream Theater mixed with Killswitch Engage. This song gives off the best feels from both of those iconic bands! Coming from the most recent Ponies at Dawn album, Skyward. A big sensation in brony metal scene, Osoch collaborated with Chris Wöhrer and Osoch’s friend from college, Pablo Mono. An Eclipsed Land is inspired by Fallout Equestria:Project Horizons, and is a great headbanging track for metalheads. The progression of the guitar riffs, mixed with Mono’s clean vocals and Wöher’s growls, make this song a treat and one of the best on Skyward! Good job on this one! Keep it up with the headbanging tunes!

[P@D] Silva Hound & StrachAttack – Punk Rocks (feat. Namii) | Electro House / Progressive House
Ponies at Dawn is back baby! It’s back with another dope stream of tracks and waves of talent – A tidal wave really! Punk Rocks features the talent of Silva, Strach, and Namii. They all truly outperformed themselves with this collaboration and it is legit an honor to write my first HMH article for Skyward with this track! Namii sings with wonderful vocals, while Strach and Silva bring in the hard party vibes! The track is very uplifting and delivers on its desire to get the party started! I love this track, and everybody slayed on it! Well done everybody, keep it up! ❤
[P@D] John Kenza – Life Box | Melodic House/Trance
John Kenza’s new song Life Box is full of his trademark melodies and sounds. The gentle tunes fill me with serene joy. Listening to this song makes me think of Rainbow Dash soaring through the clouds, free as can be.
Download or buy Skyward on P@D bandcamp.
ShobieShy – The Sho (Full Album) | Rap/HipHop / Trap
ShobieShy is a lad I’ve been following for sometime now. A great guy, a very talented rapper, and a person I am proud to call my friend. I hereby welcome all ladies and gentlemen to The Sho. Shobie’s first album featuring the talent of many producers! Shobie really outperformed himself with this Album and gives us a wonderful performance of his skills. Massive shoutout to Doodled and Drixale for their awesome contributions to The Sho!
Keep rockin’ it bro. Keep flexin’ your might.
Crusader! – Long Live the King | Pop / Alternate Electronic
Crusader’s newly released Super Duper Dance Party EP includes this poppy song about King Sombra, and it actually works very well! Continuing on that distinct musical style brought forward by the whole EP, the musician did wonders with those blissful vocals and cool lyrics, and this song is certainly very fitting in light of recent events in the show! Also check out the last track from the EP, Another Day!
Zephysonas – My Little Epic: (MLP Theme Song Rewrite) | Orchestral
Inspired by epic movies like The Avengers, Zephysonas composed this exhilarating piece as a theme for theoretical similar MLP-themed trailer. My Little Epic starts out light with high strings and an airy piano before transitioning into a dramatic track with the ensemble and gorgeous choir voices. It is easy to imagine an emotional movie preview while listening along to this song!
Crusader! – Let’s Hear It (For the Wonderbolts) | Dance-Rock
Crusader! has really embraced the dance-rock vibe combining his love of 80s synths, dance bass, and pop/punk tunes. Let’s Hear It starts with a funky bass that is prevalent throughout the track and introduces a simple disco beat to jive along with. The vocals groove along to the beat as Crusader! sings in anticipation of the fantastic show the Wonderbolts will put on soon.
