Ponies at Dawn is back baby! It’s back with another dope stream of tracks and waves of talent – A tidal wave really! Punk Rocks features the talent of Silva, Strach, and Namii. They all truly outperformed themselves with this collaboration and it is legit an honor to write my first HMH article for Skyward with this track! Namii sings with wonderful vocals, while Strach and Silva bring in the hard party vibes! The track is very uplifting and delivers on its desire to get the party started! I love this track, and everybody slayed on it! Well done everybody, keep it up! ❤

[P@D] John Kenza – Life Box | Melodic House/Trance
John Kenza’s new song Life Box is full of his trademark melodies and sounds. The gentle tunes fill me with serene joy. Listening to this song makes me think of Rainbow Dash soaring through the clouds, free as can be.

ShobieShy – The Sho (Full Album) | Rap/HipHop / Trap
ShobieShy is a lad I’ve been following for sometime now. A great guy, a very talented rapper, and a person I am proud to call my friend. I hereby welcome all ladies and gentlemen to The Sho. Shobie’s first album featuring the talent of many producers! Shobie really outperformed himself with this Album and gives us a wonderful performance of his skills. Massive shoutout to Doodled and Drixale for their awesome contributions to The Sho!
Keep rockin’ it bro. Keep flexin’ your might.
Crusader! – Long Live the King | Pop / Alternate Electronic
Crusader’s newly released Super Duper Dance Party EP includes this poppy song about King Sombra, and it actually works very well! Continuing on that distinct musical style brought forward by the whole EP, the musician did wonders with those blissful vocals and cool lyrics, and this song is certainly very fitting in light of recent events in the show! Also check out the last track from the EP, Another Day!
Zephysonas – My Little Epic: (MLP Theme Song Rewrite) | Orchestral
Inspired by epic movies like The Avengers, Zephysonas composed this exhilarating piece as a theme for theoretical similar MLP-themed trailer. My Little Epic starts out light with high strings and an airy piano before transitioning into a dramatic track with the ensemble and gorgeous choir voices. It is easy to imagine an emotional movie preview while listening along to this song!
Crusader! – Let’s Hear It (For the Wonderbolts) | Dance-Rock
Crusader! has really embraced the dance-rock vibe combining his love of 80s synths, dance bass, and pop/punk tunes. Let’s Hear It starts with a funky bass that is prevalent throughout the track and introduces a simple disco beat to jive along with. The vocals groove along to the beat as Crusader! sings in anticipation of the fantastic show the Wonderbolts will put on soon.
[P@D] Blackend Blue – Wrath | Melodic Metalcore
2000’s Metalcore style nostalgia feels are coming with this great track produced by Blackend that it’s featured on the most recent album of Ponies At Dawn – Skyward!
The vocals are on perfection, the lyrics that are about Twilight Sparkle dealing with her inner demons. The breakdown of this song is brutal, I headbanged while listening to this. This surely is a treasure hidden on the entire Ponies At Dawn brand.

[P@D] MEQA, L.M., Cosmic Fox, AJ Young, Soundnix & Quadrivia – Bronycalypse | Dubstep
The end is not the end.
One of the sneak peak tracks of Ponies at Dawn Skyward album this track is a MASSIVE six way collab between some great artists. Opening up with some moody guitars and pizzicatos it quickly builds into a wonderous cacophony of interchanging styles weaving in and out of each other! the melancholic interlude finishing off the track also gives us a retrospective vibe to briefly reflect back on the past decade and is such a fun and professional song. If there is one thing I can get behind, its collabs, and on this scale it hits home the fact that the fandom won’t disappear after the show, there is a world of untapped potential just waiting to be explored and I think we can go on for a long time coming!
Niłch’i Poni – V’ynuk | Liquid Drum & Bass / Siberian Folk
Niłch’i (F 109) is no stranger to ambiance and sound design and this is no exception! The opening piano chords and pads are rich, deep and carry a weight behind them and that’s only the beginning. The focus shifts most notably with what appears to be a jaw harp(?) of all instruments and a more ethnic, folk sound with some tight and complex break beats to tie in to the main genre of the song. Everything ebbs and flows like water through out from the chimes to the one shots and reverberates so cleanly and mysteriously. I absolutely adore the very deep and gritty bassline that punches through at times and the dynamic range really shines through with these iterations. This is truly a unique masterpiece and truly immerses you into its world!
MelodyBrony & Danny Cross – This Kingdom | Metal
MelodyBrony has been on a roll lately and the licks keep coming as he teams up with talented vocalist, Danny Cross to make this hard-hitting track! This Kingdom features tight guitar-work with ever satisfying riffs and a drum kit you can feel as Cross details the plight of keeping the titular kingdom safe from the threats in the darkness. Another classic in his ever-improving repertoire, be sure to check out Melody’s newest!
