The 39th and penultimate track from the upcoming Equinity 02: Catalyst is here, and it’s sure to warm you up this Hearth’s Warming. Goodbye is a relaxing liquid drum & bass piece with the familiar show vocal chops that’ll get stuck in your head easily along with the fast yet chilled out beat that sounds very much like something Vylet Pony would make. Catalyst comes out December 27th!

Ocean Melody – Darkness Sonata | Lyre Solo
Based on the Background Pony fanfic, Darkness Sonata is a sombre track that focuses solely on the lyre with sounds of wind faintly ringing out, as if to add a desolate atmosphere. This is said to be one of Lyra’s own compositions in the story, though it’s played with an orchestra as opposed to Ocean Melody’s rendition. The melody really puts you into Lyra’s head, as if you’ve been isolated and left alone, just how she felt. Oof…
[P@D] SDreamExplorerS – Funk, I’m Late! (feat. L-Train) | Funk Metal
Oh funk, we’ve got another Ponies at Dawn: Echoes release! The compilation’s 39th track (as well as the 9th track on Ephemeral II: Parallels) sees a collab between SDreamExplorerS and L-Train that combines elements of funk rock and death metal; this track has it all. Groovy and technical basslines, atmospheric leads, brutal drums; just pure funky heaviness. An unstoppable dream team, these two!
Lianella Stilson – Anger | Dubstep
The elusive Lianella Stilson returns with her first original track since February! This one is a heavy dubstep piece with lyrical themes based around anger, her feelings pushed out with powerful wubs and a couple lines being juxtaposed with dark growls. The song even takes a different direction towards the middle, with the tempo moving faster while remaining cathartic and punchy. All the power to her!
[Helpie’s Corner] Evdog – Say Goodbye | Soft Rock
The theme of longing for the past continues with Say Goodbye, the fourth track from Other Side of the Mirror, the first Helpie’s Corner album. Evdog’s contribution is a soft rock track with plenty of acoustic guitars and powerful harmonies in the chorus that just ooze emotion. Loss is a topic that definitely hits home for some, but hopefully this piece will help you through it.
Koa – To The Nines (PegasYs Remix) | Electro Pop
PegasYs makes a glorious return with his first upload in nearly 2 years: a remix of To The Nines from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal! This new take on the Koa original is a slower, more laid-back rendition with a slappier bassline and brilliant soft synth riffs while still utilising Koa’s gorgeous voice, keeping the same emotions as the original. It’s as if Rarity and Vinyl Scratch have teamed up to create a hit song in Equestria!
Hoofy – P!NK GVNG | Dubstep
Heavy is the hoof that brings the noise. Hoofy’s latest tune is P!NK GVNG, an intense dubstep track that combines elements of trap, breakbeat, drum & bass and even metal at one point. Starting out with a trap beat, we’re then thrust into a big buildup before being bludgeoned with intense wubs and heavy drums. A couple of bars even feature the iconic Amen Break with powerful DnB bass behind it. This beastly banger will be sure to make a crowd go insane!
Aventrix – Searching For Harmony | Trance
Aventrix ventures into trance territory for the first time with Searching for Harmony. What follows is an adventurous sounding melody that resembles the MLP theme. The overall track sounds like a trance piece from the early/mid 2000s, giving it a nostalgic feeling which is always a bonus. Should be no surprise given how far the fandom’s come!
Tadpole – Twilit Remembrance | Future Bass
I’ve said it plenty of times but it bears repeating: these ponies’ voices were meant for electronic music. Twilit Remembrance is a smooth Future Bass track that utilises plenty of vocal chops of Twilight’s voice along with beautiful synth riffs and pads alongside a trap beat. A catchy reminder of the show that made all this possible!
[P@D] Francis Vace & Evdog – Perennial | Pop Rock
The ever-familiar Francis Vace has teamed up with Evdog for track 10 of Ponies at Dawn: Eternal! A softer track by Francis’ standards, it’s a duet between the two, with Francis taking the role of Pear Butter and Evdog as Bright Mac. The two’s voices come together greatly and perfectly accent the soft music which keeps some of Francis’ signature style of rock with the occasional horn. These two ponies were made for songs like this!
