For this awesome track Skyshard got together with some amazing vocalists to make a track dedicated to the Hippogriffs from the 2017 MLP Movie. The combination of cinematic tunes and African influences together with all these amazing voices makes for an enjoyable song and despite its length it never gets boring!

[P@D] TCB – CLOSE MY EYES, SEE THE THINGS THAT I WILL NEVER BE | Future / Colour Bass
Ponies at Dawn: Zenith saw a handful of outstanding tracks from TCB, with “CLOSE MY EYES” being no exception. A year and a bit in the making, this tumultuous piece saw its creator through some of his darkest hours, but cements in history some of his most important decisions. (You can read more about the track’s lore in its YouTube description!) Featuring influence from a plethora of musical styles, spicy bass design, gorgeous orchestral elements, and hard-hitting lyrics built from show quips, this track takes the listener on a journey bursting with sonic color.
SDreamExplorerS – Neverwake | Metal
Today I have the pleasure to once again bring you an amazing metal track courtesy of the amazing Soul Strings aka SDreamExplorerS! But let’s cut down on the chatter and get straight to the song! This song was actually written all the way back in 2009 but only really picked up again last year, but it nevertheless sounds very fresh with a fun melody, amazing drums and all-round wonderful instrumentation. For all you metalheads out there this slightly-over-seven-minute-long track is perfect to just put on repeat and listen to all day long, and even us non-metalheads will get a kick out of the creative melodies and amazing riffs.

4everfreebrony – Paradise (feat. Cookie Dough) | Pop
This song is precious! It may be the most fitting Dr. Whooves/Derpy centered track ever. If anything, getting introduced to Cookie Dough’s singing voice alone is wholesome! (She is the wife of 4everfreebrony) The uplifting and wistful melody takes hold of your heart and doesn’t let go, with a message of pure romance and love, giving you just blissful goosebumps of positive vibes. A mega feel-good song, the vocals further embellish on how excellent this track is – like the song is right out of the ’80s and ’90s! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Various Artists – trīgintā [EP] | Electronic
“Trīgintā” is a word in Latin that means “Thirty”. This EP is a mix of old and new from Brilliant Venture and friends that reflects on the past thirty years of his life and this fandom, with optimism for what the future holds. Its a wonderful mixed bag of goods including an original piece, remix, and a mashup!

[P@D] John Kenza & loophoof – Ask Me | House
The Ponies at Dawn: Zenith hype continues with a track from returning fandom favorites John Kenza and loophoof. With a combo like this collaborating on a house song, you know it’s going to be top tier, and “Ask Me” certainly doesn’t disappoint – it’s a vibe and a half!

[P@D] Canvas & Evr! – Find Me (feat. Kleyna & Liefsong) | Melodic Dubstep
It’s that time again, pony folks – another Ponies at Dawn compilation is soon to be released, which means pre-releases are dropping in anticipation, and hiking up our anticipation in turn! The first to be released from Ponies at Dawn’s 25th compilation record, Zenith, is this sweet, atmospheric track from Canvas and Evr!. Perhaps the song is titled as it is because it’s all too easy to get lost in Kleyna and Liefsong’s soft, wistful vocals and the driving melodies of the drop. Crisp percussion and tasteful chops polish the track to perfection and only leave you wanting more!
