Australian Electronic Music Producer Ponymeadow’s “Bad Dreams” Is a Dark and Immersive Progressive Masterpiece!

Based out of Sydney, Australia, Ponymeadow uses progressive trance with influences from techno, house, pop, classical music, ambient, and film music to produce ethereal sounds that explore the dark as much as the light. As a product of 90s and 00s music, one thing that she has always kept in mind is what sounded good throughout her life, and she tries to embody that by creating something that, while managing to glance at the past, also feels ahead of its time. Ponymeadow is an artist in the truest form, and she is here to make a statement!

Just from the onset, there is that impressive blend of rhythm and melody that jumps out at a listener when you push the play button and the tune “Bad Dreams” starts trickling in! This epic jam has been built upon the musical landscape of trance and progressive tech house, calling back to the warm and nostalgic analog era of the late 90s and early 2000s.

The progressive classical elements include an intentional mid-song climax followed by that soft breakdown disposing of beats and percussion entirely—embodying that early 90s aesthetic in terms of production equipment.

The mixing of layers and synths with distinctly foreshadowed build-up and release heightens its hypnotic impact with its 4 minutes length allowing for that progression with sufficient sparse opening and closing sections with which a DJ can work in their sets.

I love how, as the track gains pace, Ponymeadow unleashes that medley of climaxing progressive tech house that takes a listener to a paradisiac place. Darkly veined, “Bad Dreams” explores a haunting phase being experienced by a woman who is being haunted by the ghost of her ex-lover.

The structured vocals in the form of ethereal female leads float nicely amongst the synths, giving this enchanting release such sonic variety, melodic life, and crystal clear polish.

“Bad Dreams” is also dance-inducing and one to get you moving uncontrollably with reckless abandon! With more than 64K Spotify streams, I think it’s about time that you got introduced to what will potentially elevate your playlist from this day forward!
