Chiptune and hardcore are 2 genres that often seem to work together, and I suppose that’s why Midli and Techniponi went for that in this collab. Although sounding a tad lacking in the synth design, it merits posting for its melodies and reminiscence to older fandom pieces.

Horse Music Hotspot – July 2016
Another month gone by, and another episode of the hotspot aired last night. Intersekt is back as host this month with our top picks from July! You can listen to it on YouTube, SoundCloud, or your favourite podcast app.
July saw multiple album releases as well as some excellent singles from all sorts of artists. Sit down and let Intersekt take you through the last month in brony music!
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 10PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Embeds and tracklist are both available after the break
Hay Tea – Audio Log | Drum & Bass
Another Fo:E inspired song, one of many we’ve seen since the series’ creation years ago, this new track from Hay Tea reminded me briefly of Princess Addictia’s Balefire, but perhaps that was just because of the theme and genre. Nonetheless, Hay Tea’s knack for making great liquid dnb has resulted in another great song from him!
GhostXb – Astrum Vs Krinita | Orchestral
We see songs inspired by other fandom works fairly often, but rarely do we have actual soundtracks to them! GhostXb (along with other musicians, I think including Direct Current) has been involved with the music for the upcoming fan-made game, Ambient.Prologue. This piece comes from the public beta version released last month.
Art Fonseca – Lights Over Canterlot | Jazz
I remember hearing some of Art’s music a couple of years ago, and I’m delighted to see them return to the fandom music scene once again. Just to have some new jazz is wonderful, let alone that this particular piece is absolutely fantastic! Definitely worth taking a listen whatever your taste in music.
Elias Frost – Lullaby for a Princess (covering Ponyphonic) | Gregorian Chant
We’ve seen a fair few acapella songs from the fandom, and plenty of covers of Lullaby for a Princess, but Gregorian chants are few and far between. Expect organs, pads, and a ton of reverb in Elias Frost’s take on the fandom classic.
Lycan Dese Beats – Season 2 Episode 20
As LDB brings you the latest and greatest songs of the fandom, we have “Pony Bands” in our theme this week including The Shake Ups in Ponyville, AcoustiMandoBrony, and The Wonderbolts. In the new music part of the show, we spotlight some drum and bass with Protocat, an interesting song about socks with the Luna Ticks and a Tubby Wubby Pony Waifu cover by Crusader!

WoodenToaster – Pinkie’s Lie (PonyFireStone Remix) | Dubstep
WoodenToaster? Dubstep? I feel like I’m back in 2011 again! Jokes aside, this remix of the fandom classic, Pinkie’s Lie, does have a certain nostalgic feel to it, which is still nice to see every now and again from the music scene.
Event HoriXZ0n – Hold Steadfast (ft. Thevenomous) [Euro Dracon Mix]| Eurobeat
Eurobeat is definitely not something we hear often, and not from Event HoriXZ0n either! Check out this reworked version of one of his older songs while attempting (and succeding at) a new genre.
[KM] Acouste Wholenote – Greater Things | Pop-Rock
Another absolute gem from the King Mars Tribute Album, this time in the form of a pop-rock song about Applebloom. Upbeat rhythm – check. Great lyrics with a memorable title line – check. Guitar solo – check. More 90s vibes than Friends re-runs, check! A great song by all means.
