How John Kenza and loophoof remixed each other for the occasion of Ponyville Ciderfest’s 2019 Official Convention Album and their B2B set at the con, is just SO lovely! The Magic of Friendship is doing wonders in the music too, with such bright vibes and fresh take on the Twilight vocal chops from the original. Dash’s contributions still make the track 20% cooler, too!

[PVCF] John Kenza – Love (feat. 4EverfreeBrony) (Loophoof Remix) | Future Bass
Undoubtedly one of the fastest-rising stars in recent pony music memory, loophoof returns from his incredible B2B set at Ponyville Ciderfest with John Kenza with a wonderful remix Kenza’s juggernaut, Love. Also featured on Ciderfest’s now-annual charity compilation, this remix retains the soul of the original but brings in dramatic, cathartic leads, well-placed trap percussion, and even whole sections of slightly darker, grittier experimentation. This one is a lot to digest for an EDM song, so get ready for a ride!
Francis Vace – To The Nines (Covering Koa) | Ska
We should now be used to Francis Vace making delightful ska covers of electronic music, but he still manages to catch us off guard.
If you thought you had finally freed yourself from the treacherously catchy To The Nines by Koa from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal, well Francis Vace is here to make sure it stays in your skull for a little more. The energetic song incorporates all you could expect, including sick guitar riffs, electric drums, spicy brass and of course Francis’ punk vocals which you might find yourself singing all day!
[P@D] Faulty – Double Time Dash | Electro House
This song is actually scientifically impossible not to dance to. It never stops being great, with three minutes of electronic music that’s fun to listen to with it’s memorizing beat, and it’s perfectly timed drops that combine and make it fast, catchy, and make it fit well with the game it’s paired with.
This song is available as part of P@D Eternal.
[PP] Seventh Element – Darkness Falls | Breakcore
This track is about King Sombra’s madness but it’s hard to know who’s the more insane of Seventh Element or Sombra. Fast drums and a variety of strings, even incuding a harpsicord, make the music dense and intense, even though calmer, more laid back parts are mixed in to let you realize what just happend, only to go hard again. Nevertheless, creative sound design is the constant, and the general feel of the track is reminiscent of Radiarc‘s style at times, only more fast paced.
This track is available as part of this Pinkamena Party album.
Night Blaze – New Day | Orchestral / Soundtrack
A piece as gorgeous as a sundawn or a moondawn, New Day is Night Blaze’s tribute to the two sisters, as well as a musical take on their backstory. An epic, intense, deep and uplifting composition is brought forth along the progression of the track, and it’s just so wonderful to listen to while thinking about the topic some more!
Ardeleiz – Solelh-còlc | Acoustic
A new treat from Ardeleiz has come out, and it is a delicate Tia inspiered acoustic guitar solo. The title in Occitan translates to “sunset”, and indeed it makes you feel as if you were sitting by the sea, basking in the last amber to scarlet rays of Celestia’s light, waiting for her to gently lower the sun, as gently as the mellow melodies coming from the music itself. The composition is centered around a catchy main theme with variations all the way through. Go check it out if you want to soothe your soul, and admire the blissful art from WolfieDrawie.
N4ghtwolf – Artificial Madness (feat. Liv & Learn) | Hybrid Orchestral
N4ghtwolf is back again with an impressive piece featuring vocals from Liv & Learn. The dark story it tells can be heard both in the instrumentation with a variety of strings and an organ, mixed with more electronic components, as well as in the grim lyrics. The concept-driven piece carries heavy emotions throughout, and definitely manages to convey the creepy feels in the atmosphere crafted in the story.
[P@D] SDreamExplorerS – Vessel | Soft Rock
SDreamExplorerS brings about an ever-explorative rock piece. With a catchy opening riff, it immediately gratifies clicking on. Then to be followed by the benevolent vocals and the stiffening yet ambient distorted guitars atop it all. This thorough Ponies at Dawn release does some very inventive stuff, with notes and chords occasionally jumping to unexpected places. If you’re looking for a refreshing yet familiar song, this’ll fit in your rotation like matching pieces of a puzzle.
Ponytronic – Circadian Sleep | Chillout
Ponytronic has a penchant for making creepy-sounding music also sound chilled out. This one in particular is the 5th and final track off their recently released EP, Phantasm. Much of the music here consists of a dark melody played by soft synths with a deep bass in the background as well as a strong drum pattern, perfect for the Nightmare Night season. Check out the EP for more great tracks!
