Vivix has such an appreciated signature Alt. Rock sound and every time he releases a new pony song it’s always a bliss! Sanctuary is all about Zephyr Breeze’s character depth and it’s such an interesting theme to go for. It makes this song quite deep, all while feeling so underground!

Cynifree & Zizkil – From Here To Where (Extended Mix) | Progressive House / Complextro
Extending the emotion and the Autum Blaze musical wonders even more, Cynifree and Zizkil made a breathtaking 10-minutes version of their masterpiece From Here To Where (that got its VIP featured in A State of Sugar Waffle), released on the ASOS channel with bouncy and cool visuals to go along with it! It’s Christmas at every release with A State of Sugar! Kudos to the musicians for such a gift!!
Jonny Music & Yensid Organist – Open Up Your Eyes (Organ Cover) | Organ Solo
The MLP movie soundtrack has plenty of bangers, and Open Up Your Eyes is one of them. Jonny Music and Yensid Organist have come together to create a fresh arrangement of the song on a church organ, and good thing too, because this song translates perfectly to the instrument. All of Emily Blunt’s vocal lines, the chords and soft instruments seen in the original fit perfectly here; the organ really captures the menacing tone we heard in the original!
Rinnie – Celestia’s Ballad (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Rock
Rinnie’s latest cover from the show is of Celestia’s Ballad, one of the more memorable numbers from season 3. The added guitars and drums add a new feeling to the original, complimenting Celestia’s voice. The overall sound feels like something from the 80s thanks to the electronic drum sounds and additional keyboard riffs towards the end, and the original audio from the episode where she transforms (without the visuals, mind you) adds a lot of suspense!
Intersekt – Hurricane (feat. Koa) | Drum & Bass
Intersekt returns with their first original single in a year, and boy was it worth the wait. Hurricane is a strong drum n’ bass track with atmospheric piano chords and strong basslines, combined with the beautiful guest vocals from Koa, singing about struggles and anxiety. There’s a powerful drop with heavy warbling bass sounds that even keeps the melody with a piano, making it sound relaxed yet strong at the same time. Check out the drop three minutes in; it’s crazy!
brambleshadow4 – Hyperactive | Chiptune
Ready for some Pinkie-inspired craziness? Hyperactive is brambleshadow4’s latest outing, and it feels like a journey inside Pinkie’s erratic and unpredictable mind. The track starts off with a fast chiptune arpeggio which gradually speeds up as the drums join in. The main melody remains catchy and speedy and doesn’t let up until the end; honestly, it gives me Touhou vibes! After almost 5 months of being left in the shadows, it’s nice to see such a fast piece get put out!
Daniel Ingram – Pony I Want To Be (PonyBoy441 remix) | Electro House
“Crusaders of the Lost Mark” is one of the highlights of season 5. The music alone is a treat of Daniels Ingrams work. The “pony I want to be is one of those songs” you really did not see coming for Diamonds Taria’s character ark. This remix is from a brand new musician PonyBoy441. With some crafty editing and some electro house vibes. We are shown Diamonds Taria’s transformation and redemption in an uplifting mix. That screams her overcoming her past and the victory of the moment. I hope to see PonyBoy441 grow as we hear more music from him. As always, this Qilin askes for you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] Hearse Percy – Unwind (feat. ThatMusicBrony) | House
The duo known as Hearse Percy (consisting of Faulty and PegasYs) returns with another saucy banger in Unwind, the 30th track on Ponies at Dawn: Ignite. Joining them is ThatMusicBrony, who lays some tasty vocals over the top of the beautifully crafted house instrumental. The beat is catchy, the synths feel super laid back and ethereal, and the piano that comes in from time to time is manipulated in a unique way that’s pleasing to to the ear. Let the music take you away, and try not to focus too much on what the name actually means…
Ardeleiz – I Will See Them Fall (Covering Francis Vace) | Acoustic
The ska song I Will See Them Fall by Francis Vace, released on Ponies At Dawn – Celestial Planes was a delight. Ardeleiz made an acoustic cover of it, their voice solely accompanied by the sound of an acoustic guitar, which they manage to make a great diversity of sounds come out from. The energy of the original is still here, conveyed through the stunningly high quality vocals, but more controlled, serener. A pleasing common trait both the songs share are the Hispanic vibes emanating from them.
[P@D] Wandering Artist – Fire City (Night & Day) | Orchestral
We’ve had all kinds of music already showcased on P@D: Ignite. Rock, Rap and the many genre’s of dance music. So track 72 of the album. I bring you some breathtaking orchestra scores! Wandering Artist brings the sequel to his score “Sky City. With night being serene with small builds up with the arrangement, of the strings and brass with night sounds mixed in there for a nice touch. As the sun comes out the score becomes more vibrant showcasing more uses of the strings, brass and piano. I feel like you on the back of Luna as she charges through the night and into the day where you join Celestia in full run. This sounds like something out of classic JRPG and is just wow. I think anyone can get behind musical scores such as this. This was a nice piece for this album!. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
