Let’s give Rarity some love. Track 10 from A State of Sugar: Brownie is a VIP version of eksoka’s Sartoria! The original was a long house beat, but this new version sees things slow down while keeping a lot of the original elements such as the vocal samples and same general composition. Such a sweet and smooth remake!

StableTwoStallion – Böse Stuten | Industrial Metal
StableTwoStallion returns with his familiar German metal flair. Böse Stuten is about mares being bad, and coupled with the gloomy and eerie choir-laden metal song are images of anthro mares doing bad things. Mean mares and mean metal, what else could go better?
SCRATON – Veni Vidi Vici (Magic) | Future Bass
And so, we’ve come to the 6th and final piece of SCRATON’s mane 6-themed tracks. For those keeping watch, the last one we’ve been expecting is the element of magic, and it’s finally here. Veni Vidi Vici is a lovely future bass track with a smooth set of vocals and infectious trap elements. When the drop hits, we’re privy to a wonderful melody primarily driven by vocal chops and synths that you’ll never get enough of. The description notes that no king or queen rules forever, but their legacy will never die, which is a fitting analogy for MLP’s 4th generation as well as this series of songs. Such a beautiful way to send off this series of tracks!
Below is an additional review from guest writer DrakeEmberHeart.
Drake’s writeup:
SCRATON has saved Twilight for last. For the final track of his Mane 6 series, we get a track that feels and sound like what BOOKHORSE has been through. It’s some epic future bass that gets you picture the evolution of her character. The lyrics. The vocal chops, the spell binding meleody of her journey. When I hear this I picture her walking past moment of her greatness done in the show. From a student unicorn to big alicorn BOOKHORSE! This song is a celebration of princess Twilight Sparkle. As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself
[ASOS] Ice Angel – Soarin’ | Psytrance
WOAH! What a hyper explosive track 6 of ASOS: Brownie done by Ice Angel!. A track about a stallion who frankly doesn’t get a lot of music made of him. This track about Soarin; is a hyperbolt about a wonderbolt. SO much fire and lightning in this track. Your picture Soarin’ flying with such power and speed as this track just keeps hitting you with uplifting powerful melodies and drops! To be quite honest the music here gives me such a great feeling from another uplifting track from the movie The Never ending story, The track is called Bastian’s happy flight. From start to finish, your love this track about the wonderbolts most powerful dude! You’ll get this and more from this album! As always this Qilin asks you judge for yourself
Hackamore – twilight sparkle you got some bad ideas | Album | Alternative
[Content warning: profanity]
Hackamore shows up every now and again with touch-ups of old classics. This most recent compilation album is an interesting take on several well-known originals from when they went by Jeff Burgess. The instrumentals have undergone a noticeable improvement, but that’s not what you’ll notice about this album. twilight sparkle you got some bad ideas appears to be an increasingly drunken Fern trying to remember the lyrics to old hits and laughing over memories of performing them live.
Of the songs on the album, many are renamed for the joke based on recognizable tracks like Aphelion (we are all luna on the moon), Beyond the Rainbow (doctor scootaloo), Chaos is My Lullaby (discord), and of course Manehattan Nights (manehattan). In addition to the retouches of originals, Hackamore included a cover of well-known classic The Rescue by Cherax Destructor.
If you’re looking for something between a stroll down memory lane and a meme-type post, then this album is up your alley.
Paloris – Hope (Ice Angel Remix) | Drumstep / Future Bass
This track really does live up to its name, with its non-stop vibe of hope as well as a general uplifting feeling. It uses some epic electronic music (with the usual bass drops), drums, with a little bit of piano used throughout the track, to make a distinct, wonderful sound.
[ASOS] One Track Mind – Post Pone (feat. Xol the Great) | Synthwave
One Track Mind’s style is a force to be reckoned with. Track 31 from A State of Sugar: Brownie is a powerful synthwave track that borrows elements from rock music, making it one of the compilation’s heavier tracks. Starting with a piano intro coupled with a sampled speech from Xol the Great, we’re then thrust into a industrial synthwave track. The driving synthline is reminiscent of a distorted guitar which gives the whole thing a rock edge. The middle breakdown sees everything strip down to just a piano, followed by some picked strings and military drums kept in time with a ticking clock. After some time, everything builds back up full force and we’re back in motion. This track honestly feels like it’d perfectly fit a racing game!
[ASOS] Zizkil – Fervor | Complextro
Zizkil returns to A State of Sugar with the 9th track from Brownie! Fervor – which is written about Dragon Lord Ember – showcases his familiar complextro style with eerie vocal chops, elements of trap and ethnic-sounding instruments. Give it up for the ASOS staple!
[ASOS] Voltex Pixel & GrazySmash – Hooves To My Buddy | House
An appropriate name for a collab, Hooves To My Buddy is the 5th track from A State of Sugar: Brownie, with Voltex Pixel and GrazySmash teaming up to create such a banger! The result is something that sounds like it could have been pulled straight from the 90s with an era-appropriate house beat featuring an uplifting melody. This flavour of brownie was made with plenty of sugar, it seems!
[ASOS] Suskii and Rokii – SMART PONY UNIT SO. CONN-D33Z | Complextro
Harmony by definition: A consistent, or pleasing arrangement of parts; congruity
That would best sum up the opening track of ASOS: Brownie. Suskii and Rokii have baked up something really pleasing here in their collab. A tag team of sorts, is how this complextro of a track has been presented. The song opens up to wonder and mystery then Suskii comes in first with this harsh, robotic dubstep style beat that gives off this notion of a robotic pony trying to move and groove, very hardcore in nature. The song goes into this amazing and chilling drop that builds and builds up to the tag in of Rokii’s part. Who comes in with his signature epic future bass style. As if the robot pony has found paradise. The melody is frankly one of biggest reasons why I love Rokii’s style and sound so much. Him and Suskii work VERY well together to make great harmony of this track. One of many good ones on ASOS brownie. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
