For Nightmare Night, Lighty went dark, very dark, and it’s so awesome! I’ll let you translate the title and figure out the story of the track involving a certain princess, like I did! Savor the experience in the dark, showcasing Lighty’s prowess at Synthwave…

Whirlwind – The Mission EP | Liquid Drum & Bass / Orchestral
Encompassing love for space and space music in an EP full of starry and dreamy DnB beauties, Whirlwind showcased his skill at a genre full of wonders, all while telling a story about his OC exploring space. Much emotion and story-telling in the tracks, that will make you follow him on the journey. Such a display of musical skill and passion is very inspiring and amazing, and it’s definitely an EP worth the listen! My personal favorite from the EP is Solar Surf!
Embedded here is the video of the full EP, but you can also find it on Bandcamp and find the individual tracks’ uploads on Whirlwind’s channel!
[P@D] FilledSilhoutte – The Personalities | French House
After some fine French House? FilledSilhoutte’s got you covered. Track 20 from Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse is The Personalities, which is also the final single from his upcoming album Rarity’s Fashion Playlist. The funk in this track is palpable; the samples featured are put to good use behind some bunchy drumlines. The highlights are when those samples are layered in effects and muffled, before building up right back into the action! Sweetness from start to finish. Expect Rarity’s Fashion Playlist to come out on December 18th!
Koron Korak – No Answers Refine Doubts | Dark Ambient
Boy, this one is bleak. Koron Korak’s latest outing is a vent piece in the form of a dark ambient track, No Answers Refine Doubts. Dark, deep synths carry the track along, with other sounds from a piano and harsh droning synths coming in occasionally to switch it up over the song’s 8 minute length. I have a big soft spot for ambient music like this. It’s so different from the norm and often times minimal, but there’s always a looming feeling to it, hence the name “dark ambient”. It might not be for you, but I recommend you give it a spin at least once.
Ardhy Mahardhy – Together Until The End | Melodic Dubstep
So, everypony, today we come back to Ardhy Mahardhy (whose music you might have seen on here before) with a lovely Melodic Dubstep track inspired by “The Ending of the End Part 2”. This six minute track is sure to mesmerize you with its lovely synth and sudden in-between string verses. The track starts out with some beautiful piano followed by some exquisite strings which push the piano more into the background until you get a small buildup and the amazing synths set in to really give this thing the Dubstep feel. The synths get a buildup of their very own into the actual drop. The drop adds more synths and creates a really Melodic aura which makes the song even better. After that we get a second verse where the strings take over again and give this track a vibrant, lively feeling before the synths take the lead once more. Then we quickly return to the drop for a worthy end to this six minute masterpiece.

Nicolas Dominique – The Daybreaking Nightmare | Trance
Something spacey from the mind of Nicolas Dominique. The Daybreaking Nightmare is a trance track dedicated to the dastardly duo of Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. For a track made in a short time for the halloween season, it’s so polished and full of atmosphere. The piano melody, while simple, really sets the tone for the rest of the song alongside the impressive synth riffs and heavenly choir sounds. You can really hear the dynamics between the two sisters throughout the whole thing!
[P@D] 7th Stive & ponycutz – Blood Flavor | Bassline
As the genre would suggest, Blood Flavor is a complex and bass heavy track from Ponies At Dawn: Eclipse! Lots of distortion, lots of variety in the low end with many, many elements that remind me of the trippy moods of psytrance and the brashness of jungle terror. 7th Stive and ponycutz ensured to cram A LOT into this three minute journey! From the glitches, and the myriad of gritty sounds, to its unorthodox pulsing beat and frankly, It just works. Very, very well.
Maddie Tourmaline – The Flower Gardener | Ambient Pop
Now this is an interesting one! This piece has a very mystical yet powerful personality it feels fairly simple and straight forward however the way the instrumentation and percussion is used from the drones to the the spaced out chimes and bass… not an ounce of potential is wasted and the whimsical vocals really tie everything together, AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE DYNAMICS! Maddie has grabbed my attention for sure here and I’m very intrigued to see what else they have in store!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Koron Korak Remix) | Electro
Koron Korak is back with a remix of the wonderful song from the series finale! Its got a wonderful rolling progression with the perfect atmosphere to set the mood! The snappy drums and the mixture of string and strong synth leads is a very welcome combo that I’d love to see more of! Every remix I’ve heard of this song is always a treat for me and this one is no exception!
[P@D] BlackIceMusic – Eternal Night | Melbourne Bounce
Fresh off the press, BlackIce’s Eternal Night is a groovy iconic and spooky tune embracing samples of Nightmare Moon and has those signature Melbourne vibes we’ve come to expect from them! The melody is quite intricate and the way everything is meshed together will ensure your attention is grabbed throughout. From the one shots and show samples to the driving bassline and switch ups this track is a banger and don’t forget to check the rest of Ponies At Dawn Eclipse!
