[P@D] AJ Young – Calamity / L.M. – Eve | Dubstep

AJ Young seems to step up their game every time they make a new song. Their latest piece wouldn’t feel out of place among some of Skrillex and Kill The Noise’s older songs; great sound design and clean mixing really make this song stand out as a quality dubstep track.

Something just as hard-hitting but really melodic at the same time – L.M. makes what I believe to be his debut P@D appearance with Eve. This song has both heavy growls and strong melodies, and sits at over 7 minutes long, as the longest track on the album, and to me, one of the best.

[P@D] Quicksilver – Breaking Point (feat. StealingShad3z) / Plum Creek Rhythm Section – Glimmer | Punk Rock / Alt. Rock

A collaboration between two of the best rock producers in the fandom music scene at the moment, Quicksilver and StealingShad3Z bring us an awesome punk rock track based on the episode The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows. Quicksilver’s hard rock production skills and Shad3Z’s pop-punk style vocals go together so well here, it sounds so professional!

A more sombre song marks Plum Creek Rhythm Section’s place on this album. Stunning as always, their song takes a sort of alternative perspective from Twilight in the season 5 finale, reaching out to Starlight Glimmer. PCRS also put a second meaning into the lyrics, and I think it would only be right for me to share the message they put in the description:

“If you or someone you know is considering doing themselves serious harm, I encourage you to call the Suicide Hotline at the following number: 1 (800) 273-8255”

[P@D] ExplodingPonyToast, LutariFan, & ThatMusicBrony – Start Again | Future

The opening track to Awakening, this awesome song from EPT, Lutarifan, and TMB combines a number of genres, mainly future bass and glitch-hop, with some jazz and lounge elements added in for good measure. This is one of my favourites from the album, and a great sign of just how good the music on this album is! Check it out, it’s definitely worth listening to.

Ponies At Dawn – Awakening | Album | Multi-Genre


After weeks, no, months of anticipation, it’s finally here. The new Ponies At Dawn Album, Awakening, has finally been released. A compilation of 54 amazing tracks from just as many artists, this album brings together – in my opinion – one of the best selections of music the brony fandom has to offer. And the best thing is, you can download it for free, or pay whatever you want for it! Here’s to everyone involved for their hard work in putting this together!

♫ We’ll find awakening my friend ♪
♪ We’ll find salvation at the end ♫
♫ Of the world we’ll start again ♪

Mason al’Cat – Sounds of Chaos | Folk Rock

Mason al’Cat keeps bringing us more and more parody / ponified songs, this time with his take on Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence. But rather than warn of the evils of advertising, it recounts the events of the season 4 premiere.

The Canterlot Symphony Orchestra – Medely of MLP Songs | Orchestral

A more relaxing piece to take you into the late afternoon: Amalun3us’ project The Canterlot Symphony Orchestra brings us a collection of songs from the show performed together in one single piece. It’s a nice relaxing piece, just what I needed. Thanks Amalun3us.

Crusader! – Power Ponies GO! | Pop-Punk

The original version of this was posted back in January before we started the website, so when this music video appeared, I jumped at the chance to post it! The song is good old bit of pop punk accompanied by a fantastic PMV/animated typography video by Izeer. Go check it out for SUPERHEROES.
