There’s nothing like a good Melbourne Bounce track! The springy style is so much fun to bop along with and it is no surprise that BlackIce is a prominent feature on the new Ponies at Dawn: Skyward! Updraft draws nicely from Spitfire’s chops from the “Wonderbolt Academy” and “Top Bolt” episodes which adds great intensity of the track. The lead is super catchy and the beat is inescapable – a fantastic track to get you up and moving!
[P@D] Silva Hound & VooDoo – Blindsided | Hybrid Trap
Silva Hound teams up with the bass beast himself, VooDoo for a new, hard-hitting trap hit! Featured on the newest Ponies at Dawn: Skyward, Blindsided is an awesome homage to the dazzlings and even features some vocal chops from Wubcake! The track has a little bit of everything form soft ambient sections to full on crazy breakdowns – a great demonstration of versatility from such a talented crew!
Chiptune Brony – Spike Vs. Queen Chrysalis | Soundtrack
Mad choirs and organ are immersing us in a last boss battle in this new OST-inspired track by Chiptune Brony! More precisely inspired by Motoi Sakuraba‘s battle themes, he provided another nostalgic and blissful experience for us OST lovers in the community, with those signature melodic and progressive aspects! You can do it Spike, I’ve trained you up to level 99 and unlocked all your special skills after all!
StableTwoStallion – Chrysalis | Industrial Gothic Metal / Neue Deutsche Härte
My Heart Burns for Chrysalis! The Rammstein fans among you who can translate their German titles might get that reference, and just in time for StableTwoStallion’s “Neue Deutsche Härte” track that feels just like Rammstein’s take on a pony song! The lyrics and vocals are so perfect and make the track so nostalgic, and the top-notch instrumental isn’t lacking of Industrial tasty riffs and Gothic keyboard play either!
Altius Volantis – Pink Dreams | Chillout
Altius’ streak of lovely pony songs continues, this time with a mellow and very cute Pinkie song! The Chillout atmosphere is perfect to depict the love that Pinkie feels for everypony, and the vocal samples are making her even more present in the track, to our greatest delight! It is part of Altius’ upcoming Equestrian Journey EP!
Note: Since the original video got removed, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
[P@D] BroniKoni — Autumn (Осень) | Latin Ballad
You don’t have to understand the words to feel the emotion in BroniKoni tracks. From the hit, new compilation album Ponies at Dawn: Skyward, comes this snazzy, fall anthem. The instrumental uses somber overtones with soft, jazzy melodies on top. The lyrics tell of the sad reality of the summer making its transition back towards winter with the cold winds of the Crystal Empire breaking through. BroniKoni give us a fantastic track for a chilled out, lazy day (or any time you want to listen to a great piece!)
Forest Rain – Silverstream / Big Blue | Pop Punk
If you haven’t downloaded Forest Rain’s new album Discovery, then get on it now! One of the amazing songs you’ll hear is Silverstream – this energetic and touching tribute to the most enthusiastic and optimistic of the Student Six. It’s easy to jump around to these tracks with the quick guitars and flowing drum beat that make the genre so much fun to listen to!
Another hit included is Big Blue, a tribute to the softer, often hidden side of Gallus. This track has softer, more melodic parts like the piano lead-in and outro. Of course, this song wouldn’t be complete without the faster, standard pop punk chorus!
[P@D] Wandering Artist – Sky City (Day & Night) | Soundtrack
Full of the magic of OST music, Wandering Artist’s contribution to Ponies at Dawn Skyward features a breathtaking composition with gorgeous melodies, an atmosphere that calls for adventure, and a distinct emotion for the avid explorer. The fact that it’s a BGM for a “Sky City” is very pertaining to the theme of the album, too! A masterpiece of an OST-inspired track, and my personal favorite from the album!
Forest Rain – Bad Wolf: 2019 | Alternative Rock / Orchestral
From the all-new Discovery album (album announcement here), Bad Wolf: 2019 is a remake of the original 2013 track by Forest Rain, and you can tell it has been crafted with love! Displaying much creativity with electronic, rock and orchestral elements alike, it makes for a perfect musical accompaniment to celebrate the new album as well as Forest’s upcoming performance at Everfree Northwest on the 17th of May! Physical copies of the album will also be available there!
Blaze, TuXe & Ozzwald – The Changeling (Twitch Remix) [Chang31ing Bootleg] | Hard Dance
Nostalgia time! Chang31ing treats us to a blissful bootleg of that classic which many of us were listening to back in the day! The use of new fitting vocal samples is so lovely, and Chang31ing’s new rendition of the song is quite creative, all while staying true to the vibes and melodies from the original!
