Virus Ponies – Thank You | Bounce

As the title implies, this new song from Virus Ponies is a thank-you present for their followers after having reached 100 subscribers. Go check it out for some classic bounce, with some slightly explicit text-to-speech lyrics, just as a heads-up.

[P@D] Zephysonas – The Great Dragon Migration | Orchestral

I remember Zephysonas from back in the day when he used to comment on every song featured on Equestria Daily with alliteration (I guess our own Makenshi has taken that role now, eh?), so I was surprised and delighted to not only find that he makes music himself, but was featuring on Awakening! Check out one of the album’s closing pieces above; a wonderfully composed orchestral piece about dragons.

[P@D] Kadenza – Memento / Violin Melody – Sundown | Trance

Two rather different types of trance songs from Awakening today. First up is Kadenza’s Memento, part of a small series of songs that were spread across 3 different Ponies At Dawn albums! All 3 songs, (QuellReflect, and Memento) follow the same kind of hands-up/hard trance vibe. I still don’t know the story behind them, but I guess Kadenza’s left that deliberately open to interpretation!


Violin Melody has been slowly building a name for themself over the past couple of years, and I believe this is their first P@D feature! This song sits somewhere between trance, house, and hard dance; it keeps a solid beat and a good saw bass, but has some lighter melodic moments too.

StealingShad3Z – Oh Now You Care | Alt. Rock

Shad3Z just keeps on going and keeps on going with new music. This song lies in the realm of hypothetical Spike x Ember shipping; Shad3z sings this from Spike’s point of view, having moved on from Rarity to someone better. Go listen for emo rock and sad lyrics.

[P@D] Thrasher & Night Crow – Beneath Clouds / Foozogz & Sights Unseen – Out Of The Forest | Hardcore

Combining hardcore, trance, metal, and dubstep all into one song, Thrasher and Night Crow bring us the epic Beneath Clouds. If you’re familiar with Celldweller, imagine that but by pony musicians and you’ve got this song here (more or less ;D). I hope to hear more music like this from these two in the future!


In a collab that I didn’t see coming, but makes total sense, Foozogz and Sights Unseen bring us a dark changeling-themed song. Fooz brings out the lesser-known darker side to his production and Sights adds his haunting vocals to make this industrial hardcore piece complete.

[P@D] Sonic Rainboom – Three Words (Needless To Say) [feat. PegasYs] | Electro-Pop

Not entirely sure what to call this, but it’s a really cute song! We don’t often hear such calm and poppy songs about Rainbow Dash but this works really well; you can find ph00t’s in-depth explanation of the lyrics in the video description.

Hay Tea – Kratia (Age Of Vinyl Remix) | Drum & Bass

A present to Hay Tea from Age Of Vinyl for reaching 1,000 subscribers, this remix of Kratia is chill liquid dnb with a twist. I never would have expected to hear a synthpop section in a dnb song but Age Of Vinyl made it work brilliantly here! Go listen for super chill and melodic sounds.
