[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] Quicksilver – Breaking Point (feat. StealingShad3z) / Plum Creek Rhythm Section – Glimmer | Punk Rock / Alt. Rock

A collaboration between two of the best rock producers in the fandom music scene at the moment, Quicksilver and StealingShad3Z bring us an awesome punk rock track based on the episode The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows. Quicksilver’s hard rock production skills and Shad3Z’s pop-punk style vocals go together so well here, it sounds so professional!

A more sombre song marks Plum Creek Rhythm Section’s place on this album. Stunning as always, their song takes a sort of alternative perspective from Twilight in the season 5 finale, reaching out to Starlight Glimmer. PCRS also put a second meaning into the lyrics, and I think it would only be right for me to share the message they put in the description:

“If you or someone you know is considering doing themselves serious harm, I encourage you to call the Suicide Hotline at the following number: 1 (800) 273-8255”

[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.

Ponysphere – Magic Parade | Prog Rock

Taking inspiration from gold bands of old, Ponysphere releases an excellent track of almost 10 minutes of rock greatness. Those who use to listen to 60s/70s/80s rock like me sure will appreciate those guitars and keyboard plays in Magic Parade which totally breathe the spirit of Classic Rock, and the track has different sections for each of the mane 6, too!

Audio

Mason al’Cat – Sounds of Chaos | Folk Rock

Mason al’Cat keeps bringing us more and more parody / ponified songs, this time with his take on Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence. But rather than warn of the evils of advertising, it recounts the events of the season 4 premiere.

Audio

Hydra – Apples&Apples | Bass House

Apples! Versatile German producer Hydra is back, this time with a bouncy bass house tune. Flexing some fun bass design and some smartly pitched percussive builds in addition to a solid beat, the result is a smooth track in a style that I’d love to hear more of from the community.

Audio

Dr. Somepony – Separation of things Inbetween | Prog Metal

Back with another awesome showcase of superb guitar work, Dr. Somepony lays down an expansive range of progressive metal riffs in this latest instrumental. Inspired by the emotional turmoil that Twilight must face in accepting her friends’ mortality, the song exhibits an array of melody through a full spectrum of style from chugging to tapping.

Zaktt x Phoxi – Indignation | Drum & Bass

First of all, know that you can find the original upload here. Heads up on the suggestive art tho 🙂

Canadian producers Zaktt and Phoxi have worked together to drum up a killer, hard-hitting DnB collab. Check it out for punchy drums, savage bass design, eerie atmosphere, and high energy.
