With cute and emotional melodies as well as a sound design that just turns you crazy, VooDoo’s solo contribution to Ponies at Dawn Skyward is both lovely and showcasing top-notch quality, and the cute art by Kit in this video by Suskii only makes you want to hug a pony as well while listening to the song!
[P@D] Zizkil – I Am | Glitch Hop / Fidget House
Deep, gorgeous, and with a dark concept, this new masterpiece by Zizkil shows the extent of the power of darkness, and of mad EDM skill too, with a stunning experience of sound that will make you wander in the mind of the Pony of Shadows. With heavenly melodies and hard-hitting drops, this unique gem (one more to Zizkil’s streak) is part of Ponies at Dawn Skyward, available on Bandcamp now!
[P@D] Einarx – Blackout | Melodic Dubstep
Einarx’s song Blackout is a wubbly, heavy, delectable composition. With Twilight’s vocals from BBBFF, it is an absolute delight to listen to. And the melodic tones throughout go wonderfully with Einarx’s classic sounds.
Spikey Wikey – H.O.R.S.E. (The Word Is) | Tech House
What happens when you call multiple ponies over the phone line and give them the H.O.R.S.E. word? Spoiler alert, the answer is you get a tasty Tech House new release, with Spikey Wikey/Tacos getting his debut on Cider Party as a feature! A big release in more ways than one, it announces the coming of a new album from the musician full of pony treats crafted through 2019, and it certainly hypes it up a lot with that unique concept and creative pony sentences crafting!
Vinyl Scratch – Wubtastic | Complextro
The one and only Vinyl Scratch is back once again, and with a new pony surprise for us! Part of a new EP titled The Untitled Gig (Soundcloud stream here), Wubtastic is a delight for us longtime fans who sure remember about the classic Vinylicious, with nostalgic callbacks and a renewed sick musical experience in the company of Vinyl as well! Also fun fact, I actually dreamed about Scraton/Vinyl Scratch last night! In the dream, he turned out to live in my hometown and I got to introduce him to my parents like “Hey this is a super amazing and famous musician in the community!”. Maybe I had that dream because I started writing up this post last night before going to bed, and was listening to the whole EP too… Or just because I’m so happy about this new release! Vinyl Scratch forever!
[P@D] DivinumX – Kindling | Melodic Metal
DivinumX is always good for some hard-hitting metal and for Ponies at Dawn: Skyward, he brings his ‘A’ game! Kindling is the story of Rainbow Dash telling how she started in the shadow of greatness, longing to be one of the greats who casts that shadow in front of a kindling flame. The vocal work is just incredible, perfecting utilizing the spectrum of techniques from clean singing, guttural screams, and chill-inducing harmonies. The guitar work is fantastic, pairing incredibly with the double pedal bass on the powerful drums making for an all-around top-level song!
Toby Macarony – What is this Place? | Dark Ambient
Toby Macarony’s new dark pony experience is here! As you could expect, other vocals otherwise innocent are now getting a special twisted treatment, and the Ambient atmosphere all throughout this track sure is giving much of a Silent Hill vibe, with a twist! One More!
Brilliant Venture – Moving On From Yesterday (TheBluishPony Remix) | Tropical House
Unexpected remixes are the best! And this one is definitely full of emotion, following that of the momentous original by Brilliant Venture! The soft and cudly atmosphere does wonders at extending the emotional vibes, and the incredible pony vocal chops get sublimated once more and in a brand new electronic arrangement, to our greatest delight! Awesome work TheBluishPony!
[P@D] Tripon – Shy Beat | Halftime Drum & Bass
DON’T BELIEVE HER LIES
Tripon is at it again with a really heavy and dark track leading in with just an unsettling melody and a wide open space I was expecting something unnerving already, but the vocal sampling and editing is insane and the complex rhythms carve a way for pure chaos and insanity. What I especially like, is the transition halfway through. Everything fades out and you’re left with nothing but the void, from here we get a switch from halftime drums to a more common time rhythm which accelerates the urgency ever more and in combination with all the other intricacies it really is one of my favourite tracks from Tripon and I’m certain you will get a thrill out of it!
Now available as part of Ponies at Dawn Skyward!
[P@D] F 109 – Stehekin | Chillout / Electronic
F 109 always brings something mysterious and cryptic to the table and this is no exception! From Ponies At Dawn’s recent album Skyward inspired a nostalgic nigtmare from many moons ago Stehekin opens up with a foreboding organic atmosphere laden with a very immersive soundstage and is heavy with an indigenous or ethnic vibe. Theres also a really nice shift of mood by the end where the electronic grit bubbles to the surface and really brings back the tense emotion felt throughout the piece. Awesome work as always F 109 and can’t wait to see whats next!
