The Wilders – Let’s All Unite (Everypony Everywhere) [Voltex Pixel Remix] | Melodic House
[P@D] L-Train – To Sail The Skies Above (Celaeno’s Tale) (feat. Blackened Blue, Rico Starlight, and O. Vannen) | Pirate Metal
Another awesome P@D track by L-Train! L-Train has taken this song in a direction only he could do, with some amazing featured guitar work by Blackened Blue, a top-notch flute performance by Rico Starlight, and some cor anglais assistance from O. Vannen! A perfect combination of pirate metal and Captain Celaeno, make sure to check out this awesome track, which will no doubt take you on a ride!
SpinScissor & SOUND BANDIT – Pony Town Prodigy | Hyperpop
SpinScissor and SOUND BANDIT bring us a fun little hyperpop collab with everything you expect. We have fun vocal processing and effects combined with a carefree instrumental that gets you in the right mood, and evokes feelings of the namesake game. I love the little surprise at the end of the song, which is a great contrast to the rest of the instrumental.
[P@D] Zizkil – I’m Fine | Electro
Zizkil’s most recent Ponies at Dawn contribution is like a sonic candy store: there’s something sweet in this track for just about anyone. Sparse, moody vocal chops and a number of different flavors of sound design dance over a beat that’s perfect for head-bobbing and hoof-tapping, with sharp, scratchy noise splashed in to shake it up even further.
[P@D] Tw3Lv3 & Scraton – Miles Ahead | Electro Pop
Sparkly energy imbues this collaboration by the ever-adventurous Tw3lv3 and EDM aficionado Scraton. A danceable beat, cheery little synth hooks, and crisp hyperpop-style vocals make this track perfect for blasting on a long drive.
BGM – Highest Level Unicorn | Drum & Bass/Breakcore
If you were looking to add some punchy auditory intensity to your day, BGM’s Trixie track is exactly what you need. Appropriately featuring plenty of our favorite magician’s sass, “Highest Level Unicorn” is full of spicy breaks and aggressive synth design, and sports an impressive guitar solo to boot. The visuals are nothing to scoff at either, cementing Trixie as a final boss to be reckoned with.
[P@D] L-Train, 4EverfreeBrony & Koa – Battle Royale | Electro Swing
Day and Night meet in an epic showdown! This culmination of “Daybreaker Boogie” and “Paint the Moon Red” is featured as track 7 on the new Ponies at Dawn album Zenith and boasts sassy, cleverly-written lyrics, funky instrumentals by L-Train, powerful vocals from 4EverfreeBrony and Koa (reprising their roles as Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon, respectively), and a groovy swing that you can’t help but dance (or at least bop your head along) to. Keep your ears open for a melodic callback to “Paint the Moon Red”, namedrops of the two previous P@D albums on which the aforementioned predecessor tracks were featured (Ignite and Eclipse), and even a SpongeBob SquarePants reference.
What happens when these two celestial rivals butt heads? Take a listen!
Ethan Toavs – Make Your Mark | Orchestral
If, like me, you haven’t seen any of Make Your Mark yet, don’t worry – there are no spoilers here! In this piece, Ethan takes you through his interpretation and imagining of the story of this new series, based off the official synopsis. It features a full range of instruments from the orchestra and beyond to capture the grandeur of this new world and bring it to life!
Nyanakaru – Someone Like You | Corrido Tumbado
Nyanakaru (a.k.a. Nyancat380) brings us something a bit different than their usual flair. “Someone Like You” has an almost relaxing vibe that lures you into a false sense of ease as the lyrics initially sound like a love song. Don’t get too relaxed though, as there’s a twist which the chilling artwork by Highroller alludes to. The mixing puts you in the center of the band as the instrumentals immerse your ears, switching between surround sound with different instruments in each ear and a single more monotone guitar, all while maintaining an old-timey phonographic vibe. This track is RariJack to the extreme and, while slightly creepy, is still a bop worth listening to.
Raramena, anyone?
