After a brief hiatus, budding composer Alexey Kotlyar is back! This piece fits the mood depicted in the art by Das-Leben perfectly, with some great tension building and use of somber strings, along with a gorgeous piano section. A fitting tribute to the fallen Snowdrop, this is another pony orchestral composer not to be missed!

Ponyphonic – Feed Me With Your Heart | Orchestral
Ponyphonic returns! Dane Larson writes and performs this haunting yet lovely song about the Queen of the Changelings and, as you can expect from Ponyphonic tunes, it is absolutely gorgeous and the quality is sky-high! The lyrics and melody perfectly encapsulate the vibe of a “love” song by Chrysalis, with an incredible accompaniment behind it. A new pony song from Ponyphonic has been in order for quite a while and they certainly do not disappoint!
Daniel Ingram – A Kirin Tale (JoinedTheHerd Remix) | House
The wonderfully-talented JoinedTheHerd has released his long-awaited remix to the lovely Kirin song! Of course, it features his signature chiptune-y synths, an undeniably danceable groove, and an incredibly uplifting melody, and does amazing justice to the Autumn Blaze anthem! Featuring adorable art by negasun, this is another awesome addition to JTH’s repertoire!
[P@D] Single Purpose – Fond Memories | Liquid Drum & Bass
I’d only previously heard Single Purpose’s It’s Ok off of A State of Sugar’s Bubblegum
from earlier this year, but their song from Ponies at Dawn’s Enigma is an incredibly sweet treat itself! This track has some hypnotic guitar samples and keys, with some super punchy breaks to boot. It’s always exciting to see a new Drumscape Library upload, and this track is definitely another liquid DnB tune to get lost in!
[P@D] Silva Hound & Jyc Row – The Magic Flicker (feat. EileMonty) | House
A collab between the prolific Jyc Row and fandom vet Silva Hound, this house banger is club ripe and marks the return of voice actress EileMonty to the world of pony music! With some intriguing orchestral elements from Jyc, some pristine mixing, an undeniably danceable groove, and some horsey wordplay in the lyrics, this tune off Enigma is definitely not one to pass up!
Daniel Ingram – A Kirin Tale (Faulty Remix) | Progressive House
Prog house guru Faulty’s new remix continues the flood of A Kirin Tale remixes, featuring his signature style. The backing guitars in the verses work as a great counter to the piano and Autumn Blaze’s vocal, and the drop is as good a house as you’re going to hear out of the fandom, with some emotional chords and the overall tune has a squeaky-clean mix. Another quality tune in the upper echelon of Season 8 remixes!
[P@D] StealingShad3z – Red Spinach | Pop-Punk
This Green Day-inspired tune from the versatile StealingShad3z is definitely one to bang your head to! With some tight instrumentation and lyrics about the lonesome Wallflower Blush, it’s no wonder Shad3z went with this sound for the track, as the theme is absolutely perfect for it. Any fans of ’90s punk should definitely get a kick out of this one!
This track is available as part of Ponies at Dawn Enigma.
[P@D] AJ Young – Get Schooled | Dubstep
One of the most talented dubstep producers in the fandom, AJ Young’s brand of heaviness is something truly unique, and he brings it in spades for one of his two entries on Enigma. His use of pony chops here creates an incredibly catchy lead, his squelchy sound design is impeccable, and his drops are wonderfully intense and high tempo, far more than the dubstep you may be used to. This also comes off his new Witchcraft & Wubbery EP, releasing October 12, which is available for pre-order here!
Vylet Pony – The Magic of Mischief (feat. Chi-Chi) | Pop Rock
An incredible collaboration between Vylet and Chi-Chi, the danceable groove on this song is incredible! A Discord-themed song, both vocalist’s performances (and that instrumental!) are fiery, especially a rare reach into the lower range from Chi-Chi! With plentiful references to the lord of chaos in the lyrics, a tightly-edited music video, and an impossibly catchy chorus, this is one of the standouts from Glitter, which you can purchase here!
[P@D] PegasYs – Vaporwave Future | Glitch-Hop
One of my personal favorite tunes from Enigma, the “vaporwave” in the title on this song doesn’t necessarily describe its genre, but more its aesthetic, taking cues from the seminal vaporwave record Far Side Virtual. This tune features quite disorienting textures throughout, but it works to its favor, as it never ceases to be intriguing. Familiar chiptunes and reese basses are present here, but also a whole host of other crazy sound design and compositional techniques throughout its movements.
