Another piece of her Battle of the Bands concept, Dizzy Inmotion brings us this clever take off of Under Our Spell from Rainbow Rocks. Spellshatter is a self-hyping track with quick punches and great flow, talking up the dazzling personalities. The synth chords and word play pay great homage to the Equestria Girls hit while bringing a lot of creativity and Diz’s own personality to the forefront.

Daniel Ingram – Living in Color (Toby Macarony Remix) | Electronica / Fun Fair
Giving a nod to the newest special Rainbow Roadtrip, Toby Macarony injects some more power and a bit of his own style into the song Living in Color. The original version of the song depends heavily on the voices without much instrumentation. Toby composes his own instrument parts and beefs up the beat to round out the piece and amp up the energy. His work pays off as his remix completely changes the style of song, without losing any of the parts that make it fantastic, creating a new experience out of a beloved track.
Zephysonas – Transient | Piano Ballad
Zephysonas is a savant when it comes to doing a lot with a little! After coming across the picture used for the cover art to this piece, Zephysonas became inspired and orchestrated the Transient composition. Very calm and lasting only a short time¹, the piece benefits from simple two note chords and little sections of three note walking melodies, giving off a nice characteristic vibe to the cover art!
¹This is the definition of Transient
Francis Vace – Molt | Ska
The fandom’s leading purveyor of pony ska is back with the kind of charm and humor that only Francis Vace could write. Molt is a silly telling of the process that gave Spike wings, told from his first-dragon perspective.

Whether it’s the electric guitars, the bouncy organ, or Vace’s unmistakable vocals, this song will have you grooving along!
Osoch – Discord (Covering Eurobeat Brony [Tombstone Remix]) | Metal
Warning: Profanity, degeneration, and perhaps worst of all…memes.
Of all the things that exist in the fandom, this is one of them. Never one to shy away from the strange, Osoch memes on the old days and The Living Tombstone with this exceptional metal track. Using TLT’s remix as a base, the very talented guitarist layers an excellent metal instrumental over the classic hit. There’s a lot going on here and you just have to check it out for yourself to understand.
