John Doe’s streak of blissful OST-like tracks continues, and his Ponies at Dawn Enigma contribution wonderfully depicts that place at Mount Aris in the movie and its Magic Water. Such an ethereal and fantasy-like concept is painted beautifully here, and emotional violin just like heavenly piano are doing wonders to create this powerful experience. It would fit so well as a BGM during a certain important scene in a RPG where the characters learn about a tragic situation and new ordeals to overcome, or as a field theme when exploring that mysterious cave filled with entrancing wonders!

[P@D] UndreamedPanic – The Quest For Kindness (feat. Metajoker) | Progressive House
UndreamedPanic’s masterpiece from Ponies at Dawn Enigma not only features the gorgeous effect-empowered vocals from renowned Metajoker, it also got such a deep story about Fluttershy, Discord, and what it takes to support another and spread positivity! It’s all explained in the description, and that is why a musician’s individual upload of their P@D tune adds so much more to the stream’s experience – you can get new backstory and depth behind a song. Lots of love and props to Panic and Metajoker for this stunning beauty and the story behind it!
[P@D] TPressleyJ – What the Hay | Dubstep
The extent of TPressleyJ’s skill shines bright in this absolute Dubstep banger that defies common sense as it makes you go nuts by the sound and sheer power of its drops. The buildup during the first pre-drop and what comes just before the drop in particular is my jam and makes me go crazy, mad props to TPressleyJ for coming up with that. Excited for what the musician will have in store for us in the future!
GhostXb – She Lingers | Orchestral
The first installment of a new series of horror-themed tracks leading to Nightmare Night, She Lingers depicts the mood and atmosphere from the artwork and story in the description so well. GhostXb’s musical depictions of scenes or concepts are always so amazing, and it certainly is a treat to get such fittingly themed pieces this month!
[P@D] Protocat – These Chords (feat. N. Hollow) | Drum & Bass
Off Enigma comes this massive tun here from Protocat with some great rapping from N. Hollow. I’m loving the amazing atmosphere that comes with every Protocat song, and everything comes together to deliver this super energetic track. The best part has to be how the track maintains it’s smoothness while being so upbeat, it’s just super pleasant to listen to. Definitely a groovy track and one that you’ll want to check out.

Start of J. Free’s review
A personal favorite from Enigma, Protocat and N. Hollow both brought their A game on this song. Protocat’s arrangement is gorgeous, with an incredibly wavy bassline, tasteful use of effects, and an undeniable groove. N. Hollow wears his A$AP Rocky influences on his sleeves here (even namedropping him), with some great wordplay and his normal references to various fashion designers and gangsta rap conventions. That hook is also infectious! (Thanks for the shout out too, bra)

One Track Mind – Crown Cancellation (Helping Twilight Win The Crown Remix) | Glitch-Hop
Another One Track Mind greatness to bring utter bliss to our ears! Hard to put into a genre indeed, this new take on Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)/Helping Twilight Win The Crown is full of the musician’s unique style, blending in several electronic influences into a creative cocktail of sound and vocal chops, for over 4 minutes of tasty heavy bass madness. Sounds like the Fall Formal just got a new princess!
[P@D] Exiark – Through Time And Space | Complextro
I always have high expectations for an Exiark track but Through Time And Space is something all its own! Easily one of my favourite tracks from the latest Ponies @ Dawn Album; Enigma this one will definitely take you for a journey and you can feel the tension and chaos that a thousand years on the moon would bring about and the way the tempos and rhythms shuffle and morph, it’s truly awe-inspiring!
[P@D] AJ Young – Get Schooled | Dubstep
One of the most talented dubstep producers in the fandom, AJ Young’s brand of heaviness is something truly unique, and he brings it in spades for one of his two entries on Enigma. His use of pony chops here creates an incredibly catchy lead, his squelchy sound design is impeccable, and his drops are wonderfully intense and high tempo, far more than the dubstep you may be used to. This also comes off his new Witchcraft & Wubbery EP, releasing October 12, which is available for pre-order here!
Vylet Pony – The Magic of Mischief (feat. Chi-Chi) | Pop Rock
An incredible collaboration between Vylet and Chi-Chi, the danceable groove on this song is incredible! A Discord-themed song, both vocalist’s performances (and that instrumental!) are fiery, especially a rare reach into the lower range from Chi-Chi! With plentiful references to the lord of chaos in the lyrics, a tightly-edited music video, and an impossibly catchy chorus, this is one of the standouts from Glitter, which you can purchase here!
[P@D] Frozen Night – Unity | Orchestral
Enigma has been giving us some really amazing bangers! In the side of orchestral music, for example, we got a lot of contributions! Frozen Night’s Unity is one of them! A complex and epic song with amazing instrumentalization and sound design process! The composition behind this song is really amazing, probably one of the best orchestral tracks coming from all P@D catalog!
