[P@D] PegasYs – Trixie Cannon | Neurofunk / Trap

PegasYs’ talent across all aspects of music production never fails to amaze me, so it’s no surprise that his latest P@D contribution is just as fantastic as always. The blend of trap elements and neuro basses, all applied into the double harmonic major scale to give it that Middle Eastern vibe is perfect. Pega’s actually about to start focusing more on his professional alias, Elysen, and you can find his new channel over here which will feature not just music, but tutorials and videos exploring music theory and other neat stuff. So thanks for the pony music Pega, it’s been a blast…

Sonic Hooves – Night Rainy Lane | Jazz

Here Kelvin/Sonic Hooves delivers another beautiful piano piece that is, as always, composed thoughtfully to provoke some emotion whilst listening, with some jazzy overtones as well.

[P@D] Przewalski’s Ponies – I Will Believe In You (feat. Kirya) | Acoustic

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 March 2018.

Time for another track from Ponies At Dawn – Rebirth! This is a collaboration between Przewalski’s Ponies and Kirya, with some gorgeous Russian vocals the focus of the track, and supported excellently by some terrific guitar and a super cool video of them performing the song.

Black Electric – Violet Rose | Symphonic Metal

It’s a very welcome return for Black Electric as they release their first song in months, and first pony song in over a year! This piece is about Violet Rose, an OC created by PhoenixSwift, and while I unfortunately know absolutely nothing about the character, the genre certainly seems fitting for an epic bat pony warrior. Great job and welcome back Black Electric!

Filly in the Box – Fly High | Electro

F.I.T.B.’s song from the new Ponies At Dawn album follows their signature style of midtempo-ish beats with deep modulated basses and some fantastic vocal chops. Be sure to check this out alongside the rest of Rebirth if you haven’t done so already!

ModernBard – Soaring High In The Sky | Orchestral

And now for something a little different from ModernBard’s usual style of music – he’s moved away from electronic into the realm of orchestral and done a great job of it too. Short but sweet, this piece captures the majesty of flying and of soaring high in the sky.

BassPon3 – Flown Afar | Hands-Up

🙌 DID 🙌 SOMEONE 🙌 SAY 🙌 HANDS 🙌 UP? 🙌

Another genre we don’t see very often, hands-up seems to be Basspon3’s speciality. This track sticks to a relatively simple yet always effective 4-chord pattern with some nice punchy kicks and offbeat bass topped with delightful saw synth melodies.

[P@D] R3CTIFIER – Break the Silence VIP | Dubstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 March 2018.

The original Break The Silence was a great melodic electro track, but R3CTIFIER’s now re-done it with a much heavier coat of paint. The gorgeous Fluttershy vocal chops build up to the drop, which is focused around some aggressive dubstep sound design, whilst the break has some nice use of piano and lower pitched vocals.

DJT & Rusyd Rosman – Breathing Space (Brohoof Studios Remix) | Hardstyle

It’s pretty cool to hear Brohoof Studios trying out hardstyle again, and it completely transforms Rusyd and DJT’s original house banger into something much heavier, while still maintaining a lot of the melodic elements. Even as someone who’s never really been a fan of hardstyle, I gotta say I’m digging this.

[P@D] Radiarc – Bury Me | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 March 2018.

Radiarc’s dark orchestral works continue with this thoroughly captivating piece that carries some heavy weight to it. The track is about Twilight’s struggle with her own immortality, and the effect that the mortality of her friends has on both her and them. There’s some lovely use of guitar and percussion alongside excellent vocal choir sounds and it’s definitely a piece worth listening to.
