Prince’s new tune, while not about the show directly, is a powerful tune about staying together as a community, even past the end of G4. Prince’s usual level of polish and heaviness is present here, with lyrics bound to give anyone chills, a well-used monologue from Twilight before the apparently arena rock-inspired solo, and some expertly executed crowd vocals, contributed by a whole laundry list of folks (listed in the video’s description)!

[P@D] Hydra – Pulse | Psytrance
Eclectic producer Hydra returns to P@D with one of my personal favorite genres, psytrance! He really achieves professional quality here, with a gorgeous and immersive trance atmosphere, some very neat sound design, and beautiful synth work! Truly a song befitting of the Enigma theme!
[P@D] 174UDSI – Somnambula | House
Yet another banger off Enigma, 174UDSI comes through with one of his best and hardest-hitting tracks yet! Taking inspiration from the titular pony and from Eastern music in general, the atmosphere and creative percussion are sure to take any listener by surprise. It’s also a total banger of a house tune with an insanely catchy melody to boot! Congrats on another P@D feature, UDSI!
[P@D] down-74×9. – We | Deathstep
It’s not often a newcomer is able to so thoroughly impress as down-74×9. has here! With some eerie backing atmosphere and excellent use of the propaganda speaker samples from the season 5 premiere, We is one of the heaviest bass tunes this fandom’s ever seen and deathstep afficionados will certainly dig this one, as it’s not a genre we hear in the fandom too often (not to discount Syzy, of course!). This first song is definitely deserving of the P@D and Cider Party features!
[P@D] Totalspark – What Once Was (feat. Synthis) | Chillout
One of a few re-imaginings on Enigma, this version of Sparky’s original Itchigotchi-featuring tune feels more fully realized and heartfelt (though Itchigotchi is very subtly sampled here). Synthis could not have been a better choice to feature on the song and his verse feels as soulful as his other works. This version feels far less rudimentary, with some very creative percussion throughout and an excellent intro and coda. One of my personal favorites from the hyper-talented Totalspark to date!
[P@D] Mantlegen & Einarx – Euphoria | Future Bass
Now for something completely out of left field for the Magnus Records duo of Mantlegen and Einarx! This is an incredibly sample-heavy and high-energy future bass tune, contrasting with their normally dark and heavy music. The use of pony and various other samples are incredibly inventive and evoke a feeling of warmth and pure joy in the listener. If you liked DJT’s Peppermint, you’ll love this one. Never would I have thought a Soulja Boy sample would work in a pony song, but lo and behold!
This track is available as part of Ponies at Dawn Enigma.
[P@D] Jyc Row & UndreamedPanic – EQUALIZER (feat. Agatan, Metajoker & MC-Arch) | Orchestral / Dubstep
Ponies at Dawn season is upon us, and that means some huge collabs, like this one here! Featuring Jyc Row’s signature epic orchestrations, this track goes through many movements, beginning with a lovely verse from Agatan. UndreamedPanic then brings some of the most creative and heaviest bass design I’ve ever heard from the fandom. Following that up is another heavenly verse from fandom veteran Metajoker and an ungodly fiery verse from MC-Arch. Though it is undoubtedly chaotic, it never feels forced or unfocused. An emotional rollercoaster, as are several songs on Enigma, the inventiveness on this song is not to be discounted!
[P@D] StrachAttack – Tranquilizer | Bass House
This track is absolutely everything you could want from a StrachAttack song! The melodic synths, heavy bass design, nonstop energy, and even the classic Chrysalis laugh all make an appearance here. The halftime section at the end of the tune especially caught me off guard, and what a pleasant surprise it was! Listen at your own risk because this is a banger guaranteed to make you groove.
MC-Arch – Drivin’ (prod. MrMehster) | Hip-Hop
After various collaborations with rapper N. Hollow, MrMehster returns with a more straightforward but spacey trap beat. Coming off MC-Arch’s new album, If I Ever Forget, Drivin’ features Arch flexing his melodic muscles and wearing his Post Malone influence on his sleeve, mainly on the hook. Fans will be happy to discover the impassioned delivery they’re used to from Arch are here as well, but this track is highly indicative of his versatility. One of my personal favorites on the album, here’s hoping for some more singing from Arch and more chilled beats from MrMehster!
New Reverian – Latitudes | Drum & Bass
This was New Reverian’s submission for P@D and, while it didn’t make it on the album, he’s blessed us with this lovely DnB tune! The atmosphere on this one is fantastic with some lovely use of reverb and a catchy lead perfectly encapsulating the feeling of soaring through the pegasi-laden sky. I have personally not heard his music before, but I am definitely looking forward to what New Reverian has in store in the future, as his music can only go up from here. Cheers!
