Reappearing in a big way after nearly two years, BLI1NKY shows us that he still has got it with this new track featured on Ponies at Dawn Enigma. Volley introduces some great chiptune elements before getting heavy with the wubs. The synth provides a great melody throughout this upbeat, cheery track.
Electronic
[P@D] 174UDSI – Somnambula | House
Yet another banger off Enigma, 174UDSI comes through with one of his best and hardest-hitting tracks yet! Taking inspiration from the titular pony and from Eastern music in general, the atmosphere and creative percussion are sure to take any listener by surprise. It’s also a total banger of a house tune with an insanely catchy melody to boot! Congrats on another P@D feature, UDSI!
[P@D] Foozogz – Going Lucid (feat. Mei) | Electronica
Who isn’t excited when they see the name Foozogz at this point? Fresh off the new Ponies at Dawn release, Enigma, Going Lucid is a wonderfully light and happy song about finding the place where the things in life get better – almost as if it is too good to be real. The top-notch use of a great synth throughout the track really sets the “dreaming” stage and Mei’s vocals cast incredible overtones of the theme of the track. A standout on an already phenomenal album, be sure to check out Going Lucid!
[P@D] down-74×9. – We | Deathstep
It’s not often a newcomer is able to so thoroughly impress as down-74×9. has here! With some eerie backing atmosphere and excellent use of the propaganda speaker samples from the season 5 premiere, We is one of the heaviest bass tunes this fandom’s ever seen and deathstep afficionados will certainly dig this one, as it’s not a genre we hear in the fandom too often (not to discount Syzy, of course!). This first song is definitely deserving of the P@D and Cider Party features!
[P@D] Totalspark – What Once Was (feat. Synthis) | Chillout
One of a few re-imaginings on Enigma, this version of Sparky’s original Itchigotchi-featuring tune feels more fully realized and heartfelt (though Itchigotchi is very subtly sampled here). Synthis could not have been a better choice to feature on the song and his verse feels as soulful as his other works. This version feels far less rudimentary, with some very creative percussion throughout and an excellent intro and coda. One of my personal favorites from the hyper-talented Totalspark to date!
[P@D] John Kenza – Looking At The Stars (feat. Agatan) | Future Bass / Trap
I am still emotional from hearing this. Legit, John Kenza & Agatan bring us Looking At The Stars, a Beautiful song about Flurry Heart all grown up. Despite having faced many obstacles, still standing strong and doing what she loves. Shining brighter than ALL the stars! It’s like, watching Agatan. Me and Him have been through and we both keep growing and learning. I am so proud of him making all these steps and to see him Grow, getting the recognition he deserves. And I love him for it. Legit, I will always have your back bro! I gotchu. ❤
As for John; Thank you for letting my bro do this with you man. Legit, this is dope and you did amazing.
Everybody, show some love!

[P@D] Mantlegen & Einarx – Euphoria | Future Bass
Now for something completely out of left field for the Magnus Records duo of Mantlegen and Einarx! This is an incredibly sample-heavy and high-energy future bass tune, contrasting with their normally dark and heavy music. The use of pony and various other samples are incredibly inventive and evoke a feeling of warmth and pure joy in the listener. If you liked DJT’s Peppermint, you’ll love this one. Never would I have thought a Soulja Boy sample would work in a pony song, but lo and behold!

[P@D] Jyc Row & UndreamedPanic – EQUALIZER (feat. Agatan, Metajoker & MC-Arch) | Orchestral / Dubstep
Ponies at Dawn season is upon us, and that means some huge collabs, like this one here! Featuring Jyc Row’s signature epic orchestrations, this track goes through many movements, beginning with a lovely verse from Agatan. UndreamedPanic then brings some of the most creative and heaviest bass design I’ve ever heard from the fandom. Following that up is another heavenly verse from fandom veteran Metajoker and an ungodly fiery verse from MC-Arch. Though it is undoubtedly chaotic, it never feels forced or unfocused. An emotional rollercoaster, as are several songs on Enigma, the inventiveness on this song is not to be discounted!
Koron Korak – Night Shield (feat. Thöbe) | Hybrid Orchestral
A stunning multi-genre beauty with a pony concept, Night Shield tells an epic tale about Luna and her loyal night guards fighting a mysterious enemy. Epic choruses, apocalyptic bells, emotional violin, battle-reflecting rock drums, intricate synth melodies, and even amazing vocals and VA work from Thöbe are all doing absolute wonders to tell the story through blissful musical ways. A progressive masterpiece of much emotion, that further showcases the extent of Koron Korak’s talent and vision!
Dynamite Grizzly – TAKEOFF (feat. fractilx) [DASH VER.] | Big Beat
The dream collab, Dynamite Grizzly teamed up with fractilx aka InklingBear to pay tribute to both Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust’s points of views and personalities in TWO tracks that feel very distinct! In this one dedicated to Dashie, you can feel her resolve to be the best and fly high, all while hearing the tenderness and loyalty that makes her Element. A real delight! Check out the DUST VER. as well, that reflects Lightning’s character and affinity with danger through masterful guitar work that is so perfectly integrated to the beat! Much emotion to be felt in that one as well!
