[P@D] ThatMusicBrony – Rejected / Totalspark – Aurora Borealis VIP | Future Bass

A couple of future bass tracks from the new P@D album to fill your afternoon. First up, another one from ThatMusicBrony, who featured on Start Again but this time brings a solo track to the table. This song about Trixie is top-notch, comparable to the likes of San Holo and similar future bass artists.

And of course, Totalspark gives us a track in his usu- wait, he did vocals on this? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s a first! It’s great to hear Sparky singing on this song, the vocals fit the chill nature of it, and the piano sounds amazing.

[P@D] Hydra – Nox / Progressive Element – Robot Pony | Future Garage / Neurofunk

As usual, Hydra brings something different to P@D with an ultra-smooth future garage track heavily influenced by Direct. With high-quality percussion, and even some epic orchestral strings in the break, this groovy track is great to lose yourself in.

And next, Progressive Element shows his versatility after creating some prog house bangers for the last two P@D albums by going for a completely different style. This track is a heavy and dark neurofunk track that really shows what Prog can do when he puts his mind to it, creating a deep and foreboding post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

[P@D] Jastrian & Synthis – Ethereal / DJ RedSky – Luminescence | Chillout

Let’s take an easy start to Sunday morning with a couple of chillout songs from Awakening. First up is Ethereal, which combines Jastrian’s composition skills with Synthis’s awesome sound design. Fluttershy music is the best chill music! c:

Next up, a chill midtempo song with a tropical house feel to it; DJ RedSky’s contribution to the album is very relaxing and makes great use of simple but effective sounds. RedSky just keeps on improving with every song they make, and it certainly shows here!

[P@D] Ryazan – Faster & Higher / fractilx – Little Uproar | Hardcore

Ryazan seems to be a regular on the P@D albums nowadays, and with good reason! This hardcore (forgive me, I don’t know the specific type) song sits at a speedy 190bpm – one of the fastest-paced tracks on the album. And of course, who better to dedicate a  F A S T  song to than Rainbow Dash?

Another major hardcore artist that’s made their way regularly onto P@D albums is fractilx, this time bringing us a UK hardcore song for Spike. As well as featuring on Awakening, this is part of their upcoming Love Tales EP…we’ll have to keep an eye out for that one 😉

[P@D] AJ Young – Calamity / L.M. – Eve | Dubstep

AJ Young seems to step up their game every time they make a new song. Their latest piece wouldn’t feel out of place among some of Skrillex and Kill The Noise’s older songs; great sound design and clean mixing really make this song stand out as a quality dubstep track.

Something just as hard-hitting but really melodic at the same time – L.M. makes what I believe to be his debut P@D appearance with Eve. This song has both heavy growls and strong melodies, and sits at over 7 minutes long, as the longest track on the album, and to me, one of the best.

[P@D] – Aurelleah & Kadenza – Firelight (feat. PegasYs) / EM120X – Ocean Sunburst (feat. SDreamExplorerS) | House / Hands Up

Aurelleah and Kadenza light up the night with an incredibly polished party anthem for the bat ponies, with PegasYs’ vocals melding in beautifully to create one of the best house tracks I’ve heard from the fandom!

EM120X’s signature hands up/house style is fused here with the awesome guitar work of his friend DreamExplorer, and together they create a really pumping and enjoyable hands up track with some awesome rock elements, especially around 4:25, where it all comes together perfectly.

[P@D] DJT – Horse Code / BL1NKY – Parades | Glitch Hop / Dubstep

 

The 2nd track from the P@D album is delivered here by DJT, with a super high energy vocal-sampling filled glitch hop track that also serves as a pre-cursor to his Basking in the Earthlight EP. Here DJT shows that he is continuing to refine his sound and able to make each release arguably better than the last.

The second track we have here is a new track from BL1NKY, previously known as CoRe-Ridor, with a track full of the signature bass sound design those who regularly to P@D and balloon party compilation albums would be well-accustomed to. Somehow, he always manages to make each song sound unique still, even with this high crossover of sound design, and here he delivers a fun bouncy track about gay horse pride. What’s not to love!

[P@D] ExplodingPonyToast, LutariFan, & ThatMusicBrony – Start Again | Future

The opening track to Awakening, this awesome song from EPT, Lutarifan, and TMB combines a number of genres, mainly future bass and glitch-hop, with some jazz and lounge elements added in for good measure. This is one of my favourites from the album, and a great sign of just how good the music on this album is! Check it out, it’s definitely worth listening to.

Ponies At Dawn – Awakening | Album | Multi-Genre


After weeks, no, months of anticipation, it’s finally here. The new Ponies At Dawn Album, Awakening, has finally been released. A compilation of 54 amazing tracks from just as many artists, this album brings together – in my opinion – one of the best selections of music the brony fandom has to offer. And the best thing is, you can download it for free, or pay whatever you want for it! Here’s to everyone involved for their hard work in putting this together!
