The movie remixes keep coming. So far I have loved all of them, and this song isn’t breaking that trend–on the contrary, this is one of the greatest yet! We start right into this track with a beat and vocal loop and not by fancily fading in elements one at a time, which is a change I very much appreciate. Then when you think you hear the build up happen you actually don’t get a drop; rather we get sort of an interlude that leads us into the lovely vocals from the amazing Kimiko Glenn. Then we actually get to the wonderful build ups and the amazing drop, and oh my is it awesome! We get the usual DnB elements, but we also get a pretty prevalent melody that’ll stick in your head for a while. Within the drop we get to the next part of the lyrics, and we get out of the drop with this amazing vocal fade out. In this next bit of vocals we actually get this awesome echo effect applied to the vocals, and I swear, having the words “unicorn butts” echo in your ears is one of the most fun experiences I have had while listening to music in a good while! I was curious how PONE177 would combine rap vocals with DnB, and I was very much impressed as this wonderful combination blessed my ears. As the rap part ends we get a vocal fade out into the build up, and I already mentioned how much I love the drops! This awesome drop keeps going strongly as the vocals unexpectedly fade into a repeat of the last few lines before actually ending the song, like a unicorn does

Alan Schmuckler – Danger, Danger (Pagan Pegasus Remix) | Future House
Today we’ve got ourselves a newcomer to the brony music scene! Pagan Pegasus brings us this amazing remix of the MLP: A New Generation movie song “Danger, Danger”, and, sweet Celestia, it’s awesome, so let’s gets straight into it! We start straight into the EDM vibes with a crash joining the lyrics, but in the beginning Pagan Pegasus still keeps mostly to the original rock instrumental, which is a welcome bit of variety when you compare it to other remixes. The build up in this song is also refreshingly simple–we just get a little vocal loop and an audible cue for “stuff’s about to go down”. And then we get to the drop! I love the drop–it’s unapologetic Future House fun and works perfectly with Alan Schmuckler’s amazing vocals. We then get a background beat after we get out of the drop, but we can still hear the original instrumental shining through. This is something you don’t see very often, and it really works well to make this remix stand out. Next we come to my favourite part of this remix–we get a classical build up, then the build up does a fake out and brings us not into the drop but instead out of EDM territory and into the clap rhythm of the original, and then we get the drop. To quickly talk about the build up to the drop–there isn’t any! We get the “My name’s Rob” line and then just jump straight into the drop, which is a gamble strategically because it might not always work, but Pagan Pegasus pulls it off expertly! This amazing second drop is where we end this wonderful masterpiece!

GhostXb – Dreaming | Ambient Orchestral
Ok, so people who know me know that I am a sucker for two things in this world: EDM of the House/Bounce variety and Orchestral, and of the latter this is a perfect example of why I love the genre! “Dreaming” starts out with this wonderful arrangement of strings that perfectly captures this dramatic feeling. Soon the strings are joined by an electric guitar, giving a nice accent to the song. Every now and again we get a really high note on the strings that almost sounds like a cry for someone. Then a bit later on out of nowhere these heavenly choirs appear to bring joy to your ears! Near the ending we get more epic orchestral sounding string parts as the guitar leaves, leaving us with only the strings, something I love hearing that really accents this piece nicely. At the end the strings simply fade out.
I’ve often talked about how much I enjoy longer songs that don’t go out of their way to be some flashy firework, and this song embodies exactly that. It clocks in at a bit more than six minutes and stays very consistent throughout, which makes it a perfect song for a perma loop, having exactly the right amount of variation so that it doesn’t get boring!

MirroredReality – The Night Returns | Electronic
Well, this certainly is a banger fitting well to the holiday! MirroredReality has always made great tracks, but this one is not only great, but also very fitting to Nightmare Nights. The track starts out with a chilly synth melody that will send a chill down your spine, slowly more elements join in and we get a different synth for our main melody. Quickly we get into the build up that lives a lot from drums, something I have personally seen actually not as much as people may think so this is a welcome bit of variety! Now we get to the drop, by virtue of being Electronic you can actually hear different genres in the drop, which is a very enjoyable experience and all around gives the drop even more fun. In between the drop slightly changes at a few points, giving this song the perfect amount of variety and after this wonderful explosion of melodies we come right back to a bone chilling synth this time we get a bit more accompaniment including some fun fast claps until we get back to the stunning build up and the once again fantastic drop, said drop is also what we end this masterpiece of Nightmare Night music on.

Kimiko Glenn – Fit Right In (NYMUND9 Remix) | Electro
Today I bring you yet another awesome remix of the G5 movie song “Fit Right in”, this time courtesy of NYMUND9! The track starts out with a fun Electro melody accompanied by muffled vocals from our favorite unicorn herself. Normally the vocals would slowly start to fade in more, but NYMUND9 does things differently, and in a fun bit of variety the vocals suddenly fully set in, and we go full into the song. As the song goes on the melody slowly builds up with more synths and some fun clapping until it changes slightly for Hitch and Sunny’s part. After a bit the melody builds up and we get sort of a semi drop in mainly a change of melody, again something not a lot of tracks do but something that is definitely very enjoyable! After a bit, we get into a clapping build up that once again doesn’t lead to what you would expect but instead leads into a short part where the vocals are muffled again before once again going full send into very fun electro melodies before we end this song just like a unicorn would!

Whirlwind – Colorless | Dark Ambient
Well, have we got another masterpiece for you about one of our favorite celebrations of the year, this time courtesy of Whirlwind! We start this one out with a bone chilling, echoey melody that will make your skin crawl your every muscle shudder! This is followed by a bone chilling sound that words fail to describe as we get a beat mostly consisting of heavy heartbeats with a few other sounds slowly joining in and forming this eerie, creepshow-like melody. This is interrupted once more by an unidentifiable sound followed closely by a siren in the distance. We then set back in with the prior instruments and ambience of the song a and add some new ones, creating a cacophony of different sounds and emotions that is so fitting for this scary, spooky time of the year. For the end the sounds change up ever so slightly, and the song ends with this very creepy tune that I can’t even describe.

Steely Hooves – Magic Mayonnaise | Electro
Yep, yep, this is exactly what you think it is, and it is amazing! This is a giant joke track if you haven’t figured it out yet, and the lyrics make that clear as day, but let’s start at the beginning. The track starts out with “Bing Bong” vocal chops and the melody slowly rising up from muffled to full-on pumping. As we get a melody change the amazing vocals by Steely Hooves set in telling of how unicorns once were and how powerless they are now. We get a hilarious chorus all about the four forbidden words, and right after that we get yet another fun bit of melody accompanied by some fun vocal chops and then some instrumental parts. After the wonderfully funny chorus we get straight back into another verse, this time focused on the judgement that ponies are passing because of what the unicorns used to be followed once again by the hilarious chorus. We end this wonderful piece on some more awesome melodies and vocal chops, providing a fun bit of variety from beginning to end!

Daniel Ingram – We’ll Make Our Mark (Snow Swirl Remix) | Drum & Bass
Who said that now that G5 has officially begun that we can’t have more fire remixes of G4 classics? Snow Swirl tackles a song a lot of people love from an episode that a lot of people really enjoyed, but before I get sappy about the past let’s take a look at this masterpiece! We start out with not too much beat, which is something that I always love to see, because the beat has time to build and doesn’t hit you like a freight train. As the beat grows, the vocals slowly break through and take center stage, and I don’t think I have to tell you how great the lyrics are. Soon we get into our first build up, and here is where the DnB elements start to shine. Then we get to the drop, and the drop is a wonderful love letter to all things DnB and an absolute pleasure for your ears. A bit into the drop we also get some vocal chops that fit the arrangement really well. After the drop we get to Rainbow’s part of the song, accompanied mostly by a stupendous acoustic guitar melody, and then, continuing with that same melody, we get to Rarity’s part. Afterwards we get this stunning string melody that you’d expect to hear in an orchestral piece. Then, in a moment that completely surprised me, the strings combine with the beat and the vocals to create this uplifting, inspirational part that goes straight into the drop in a wonderful display of Snow Swirl’s musical skill. The drop once again works with vocal chops, but this time around the focus lies more on the upbeat DnB melody. We end on a combination of the drop and the lovely acoustic guitar.

BGM Pony Degeneracy – SpookyMare | Spookystep
To celebrate Nightmare Night BGM has given us a very special track, and what more appropriate genre could there be for such a song than Spookystep? The track starts with a classic organ melody together with some spooky howling and a bit of beat before, out of nowhere, there’s this big beat change into a hasty melody, and suddenly it’s as if you’re running away from some unseen evil. We then get into yet another beat change and end up with a more upbeat, groovy beat and some great lyrics about there’s no way to run away. After this first verse comes an awesome and fun chorus followed straight by the next fun verse with all the vocals being delivered by the Mane Six courtesy of TalkNet, which is a wonderful touch! We end this whole thing on some more groovy melodies and one more iteration of the chorus.

SYLVVER – Purple Scare | Big Room House
Today SYLVVER brings us this amazing Big Room track all about Starlight and her village. The track starts out with some vocal chops from the episode “The Cutie Map” and an excellent Big Room beat. After a bit we get into this fun build up and then jump right into the first drop. This drop is awesome–it is everything you want from a Big Room drop and more! Afterwards we get into a very fun second beat that has this really cheery vibe and quickly pumps the energy up to 120%. Once again we get vocal chops from the Mane Six before we move into the build up and yet another mind blowing drop that is just as amazing as the last. We end this wonderful track with some more vocal chops and a fantastic melody.
