Another wonderful collab from Ponies at Dawn Anthology, Restitution is the result of R3CTIFIER and VooDoo‘s collaborative efforts, and the hard-hitting-ness of the drops only equals the beauty of the melodies and the sound design. The track also has got an interesting and epic pony story, explained in the description!

Mikuma – The Manehatten Shuffle | Future House
Let us herald Xavi’s return with a “filler” that definitely sounds like more than that! Using his OC’s name “Mikuma”, our beloved Future afficionado is delivering in style with crispy sound design, a whompy groove, and an inspired progression definitely reflecting much talent! Icing on the cake, the track includes Xavi’s voice! And second icing on the cake, the infamous “i” sample that caused kicks and global muting as the chat got spammed with “i”… Sasuga Mikuma-chan! (That’s our Mikuma!)
UndreamedPanic & Bank Pain – Night Light (ThatMusicBrony Remix) | Chillout / Electro-Pop
It’s so awesome to get a remix of the collaboration of many wonders Night Light, and by none other than the talented ThatMusicBrony! Taking a resolutely more Chillout direction, this remix reawakens the original Flutterchops in a brand new mood, with heavenly piano, soft and soothing vocals, and a progression filled with so many nighttime wonders! Truly a wonderful remix to listen to on a night stroll, gazing at the beauty of Nature around you, and letting yourself get entranced by the amazing vocals and sounds all around.
Mr. A.M. – Vinyl’s Wake | Electro House
Wubba wub wub! Our own EDM mascot Vinyl Scratch will forever be a pony of choice to dedicate a pony tune to, and Mr. A.M.’s new original release portrays well the kind of morning the producer mare would be into. Blasting beats and headbanging, the track explores in new directions and displays tasty sound design. Upon listening to this song and seeing those visuals, I definitely get nostalgic of Omnipony’s She’s An Alarm Clock which has a very similar concept and also uses a gif of Vinyl headbanging!
John Doe – Falling | Soundtrack
Another OST track composed by John Doe for the fan game Pony Town, Falling feels like the kind of field BGM you’d hear on a leisurely walk in some forest area near a stream of pure water, gathering items/ingredients and marveling at the many autumnal charms of the Nature around you. The clopping sounds at the end are the icing on the cake, and delightfully remind of the context of the track!
[P@D] R3CTIFIER & StrachAttack – Grimoire | Dubstep
Masters of slick bangers R3CTIFIER and StrachAttack teamed up for Ponies at Dawn Anthology, and what a tune they made! Highlighting the magic of their collaboration, it features top-notch pony vocal chops and very pony-like melodies for a blissful result. The cover art by Sora is definitely embodying the concept well and further complements the song with thoughts of Starlight’s huge magical potential!
ertrii – Aurora | Liquid Drum & Bass
With a title and concept reminding of such OST tracks as Jeremy Soule’s Aurora and the appreciation of Nature they call forth for people like me, this new release from Ertrii sure got that Chillout nightly vibe going on. Especially in the second part, or the “break”, you can feel that awe from gazing at an aurora in the night sky, transcribed perfectly in musical format, delivering an emotional BGM of choice for such a contemplative moment of appreciation. Definitely a powerful piece from Ertrii who keeps delighting us with soothing themes and exploration of many different genres!
Ponylution – Melancholy | Lo-fi Hip-Hop
A short yet inspired piece, Melancholy has that Chillout vibe that really fits well to the scene of the cover art. It also displays beautiful melodies on piano that would make the track a BGM of choice for a bar or a café!
[P@D] Mantlegen & Einarx – Hidden Piece | Dubstep
It’s always a feast getting such hard-hitting bangers from Magnus Records musicians, and we’re delighted to have Mantlegen and Einarx delivering their new incredible Dubstep banger through P@D Anthology! Bringing beautiful pony vocal chops and crazy wubs in the drops, this track also has a quite rich concept. Inspired by a novel, the story of this track is about a virtual reality game in the future that connects to Equestria, and in which ponies appear! With a new danger appearing, a new Mane 6 stands to protect Equestria from it, and they find the remnant of the Elements of Harmony, which is a Hidden Piece!
Elias Frost – In the Rain | Rock / Metal
A delightful treat, Elias Frost’s own response to Punk Rarity’s determination and beauty of the inside in S07E19 It Isn’t the Mane Thing About You is a Gothic-inspired rock piece with blissful riffs and fitting synths reflecting Rarity’s strength and passion as she shines from the inside out. The guitar solos are top-notch and overall In the Rain is quite the choon to jam and headbang to, giving homage to Rarity! Definitely a piece that she would listen to, to remind her of her fabulous self!
