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!

Direct Current – Hourglass EP | Indie Electronic
Direct Current is a musician who always comes up with something unique and enjoyable. In his new 3-song EP, he celebrates his 100th song released – an amazing feat for any musician to be sure! Each song on the release is exciting in a unique way, too!
- Sands of Time: a beautiful and mesmerizing track, the hard panning style of the ringing notes bring forth a hypnotic feeling
- Mists of Time: an uplifting track made even sweeter with the processed vocals, a bouncy synth and hi piano keys adds joyous tones to the sentimental track
- Forever: an optimistic piece romanticizing the future, the beat mimics the ticking of a clock in a very creative way
Hourglass is a great pickup and Direct Current should be commended for such a quality piece of work!
[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!
[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!
[P@D] PegasYs – Vaporwave Future | Glitch-Hop
One of my personal favorite tunes from Enigma, the “vaporwave” in the title on this song doesn’t necessarily describe its genre, but more its aesthetic, taking cues from the seminal vaporwave record Far Side Virtual. This tune features quite disorienting textures throughout, but it works to its favor, as it never ceases to be intriguing. Familiar chiptunes and reese basses are present here, but also a whole host of other crazy sound design and compositional techniques throughout its movements.
[P@D] RKDM – Impetus | Future Bass
Hot off the new Ponies at Dawn album Enigma and featured on Cider Party, RKDM really dazzles with this popular, new track! Impetus starts with a great synth riff that sets the bright tone for the entire track. The builds are great and the chops are top-notch. A great atmosphere for a fun MLP track, be sure to check out RKDM and all the sites the work is featured on!
[P@D] Hydra – Pulse | Psytrance
Eclectic producer Hydra returns to P@D with one of my personal favorite genres, psytrance! He really achieves professional quality here, with a gorgeous and immersive trance atmosphere, some very neat sound design, and beautiful synth work! Truly a song befitting of the Enigma theme!
