I’ve said it plenty of times but it bears repeating: these ponies’ voices were meant for electronic music. Twilit Remembrance is a smooth Future Bass track that utilises plenty of vocal chops of Twilight’s voice along with beautiful synth riffs and pads alongside a trap beat. A catchy reminder of the show that made all this possible!

[P@D] Francis Vace & Evdog – Perennial | Pop Rock
The ever-familiar Francis Vace has teamed up with Evdog for track 10 of Ponies at Dawn: Eternal! A softer track by Francis’ standards, it’s a duet between the two, with Francis taking the role of Pear Butter and Evdog as Bright Mac. The two’s voices come together greatly and perfectly accent the soft music which keeps some of Francis’ signature style of rock with the occasional horn. These two ponies were made for songs like this!
[Helpie’s Corner] PeKaNo – The Pit | Drum & Bass/Ambient
Sometimes it’s hard to move forward, even though time waits not for you… Track 5 from the recently-released Helpie’s Corner compilation Other Side of the Mirror sees an emotional drum & bass/ambient hybrid song from PeKaNo that follows the album’s theme of loss. The first part of the song sees a fast drum & bass beat placed over a slower, more emotional beat alongside a synth, string and piano combo, before the drums fade out to the sound of Twilight’s voice saying “I could have gained a sister, but instead, I just lost a brother” as the piano and atmospheric synth continues to ring out, giving time to reflect and dwell. Emotions have been running wild in the fandom lately.
[Equinity] Spikey Wikey – Shining Free VIP (Single Purpose Remix) | Drum & Bass
Drum and Bass is such an exciting genre to listen to, and this track is a great example of why: it’s fast paced, has some awesome electronic music, with the drums in the background making a great rhythm. This one in particular uses lines from the show, which mix in great with the music.
Silverwing – New Beginnings | Piano Solo
In yet another case of an older fandom musician making a grand return, Silverwing has just released the appropriately titled New Beginnings, his first official track since Tranquil Memories from May 2015! New Beginnings is a lovely improvisational solo piano piece that sounds hopeful and optimistic about the new future that we may get now that FiM has ended. The slow pace makes it feel like the start of a new era after the old one closed out with a bang. Welcome back, Silverwing! We can’t wait to see what you come out with next.
Francis Vace – AJ’s Honest Apples | Ska Punk
Let’s take a moment of silence for the people who ate apples in 1982… Alright, now that that’s over, let’s listen to the third track from Horses In Real Life by Francis Vace. This nearly 3 minute long song is full of tasty ska goodness, just like the apples AJ sells. She’s fallen through the TV and made her way into human civilisation, where she makes a living through selling her signature honest apples. At least she’s doing well for herself, unlike another certain pony… For a challenge, try and count how many apples fall to the ground in the video. Good luck!
John Jennings Boyd & Lisette Bustamante – The Other Side (Wootmaster Remix) | Drum & Bass
Combining pony and EQG Rarity vocal samples, Wootmaster presents us a tasty and lovely remix of the highly-acclaimed EQG song The Other Side that got released along such a fabulous music video! The same creative vibes can be felt here through the refined DnB instrumental that would certainly make Rarity proud, and the perfect layering of the original vocals. And those pony Rarity samples in the background are just the icing on the cake!!
PeKaNo – Compromised Fluttershy | Drum & Bass
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from PeKaNo. Compromised Fluttershy is a new tune that combines soft elements such as synths and wind instruments along with harsher ones, such as a drum n’ bass beat as well as a low synth bass. It’s a unique combination for sure, and it works to great effect. A tune perfectly suited for everypony’s favourite shy mare!
Daniel Ingram – The True Gift of Gifting (Foozogz Remix) | Breakbeat
This remix gives the happy and emotional Best Gift Ever song some new electronic music, which blends with the vocals, giving it a some really exciting parts to listen to, as well as keeping the original emotion of the song there. A really awesome track just in time for the holidays!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic Inside (Ardhy Remix) | Melodic Dubstep
This song is so powerful and an incredible thing to listen to, and this remix definitely lives up to that. This remix keeps the original vocals, and also adds some melodic dubstep to them to make an equally powerful version of this show song. And, might I add, this track is an absolute testament to this fandom’s creative ability, and the fact that, even with the show gone, we can still make awesome works, like this one, based off of it!
