For 12 years pony has gone through changes, but friendship has gone nowhere. People of the community have shared their artwork and memories for the 12th anniversary of MLP and Canto Acrylic contributes their part with a breathtaking release! Starting brilliantly with Through The Ages from Equestria Girls, this well-played medley on the acoustic guitar is full of vibrancy. The emotions keep rising as the mashup strings in fandom songs of PrinceWhateverer, Black Gryph0n and many more musicians with some G4 tunes by Daniel Ingram too. A time travelling cover recreating 12 years in one masterpiece. If you’re kind, be generous and pass on this shimmering song to your loyal friends who shared smiles with you through the past pony years. A few tissues and a group hug is recommended after the listening.

You’re listening to Maretime Bay radio, grab your tamb and breathe in the sunshine of these lyrics cause this one is super replayable! Summer maybe over for some us….but the summertime vibes of this jam can make your day sunny! Drop by the beach, Starscout and friends are having fun, and a smoothie is reserved just for you! Thanks to Evershade, this fun jam got reworked with a well-deserved mix and some beaming mastering! Allegretto drums, a happy electronic tuneful organ with the aesthetic sound of the guitar, and Chuckles high-spirited singing plays throughout from day to night as the proper vibe to share with the gang.

Michael Picher – Daybreaker | Orchestral
Michael Picher is a versatile composer. His music has been heard in award-winning short films and popular animated series. Years of composition experience is evident through their releases. I better get to the core of this article before melting. Broad trumpets announce the arrival of Daybreaker, known for her powerful appearance in G4’s Season 7. A powerful, villainous radiation of trombones conduct the heat well, while layers of trumpets take center stage (fittingly enough as trumpet has been the main focus of the composer for 20 years!) The intimidating wrath of the visuals will brighten up your surroundings and the fiery sound quality of this piece will evaporate your water bottle.
DJSleepyHooves – Bedtime Story | Plunderphonics
Time for bed, but first let me tell you a story; once upon a time a very special unicorn made lots of friends and together they showed the magic of friendship. Now a very special musician shows us their musicality of harmony. Based on the movie A New Generation, DJSleepyHooves stirs 2 soundtracks and a diversity of vocal sampling from the movie with their glittering creativity. A clever and silky intro with retro sounds playing from a cassette tape having Argyle as the storyteller abruptly glows up with the energetic drums as the ponies’ vocalization joins in like pinballs propelling to this musical gem. A priceless banger full of magic….bing bong!
ALostCarolean – Changeling | Darksynth
Changelings, evil creatures feeding off emotions of others; morphed from birth, to deceive and hide in plain sight. And ALostCarolean, Swedish music producer debuting with the industrial horror sound of Darksynth, an unexpected subgenre in the fandom. The arpeggio synth approaches from the distance and hulking drums leap directly onto your face with a thick, heavily distorted bass line while dark synthwave melodies fly in the atmosphere and electronic metal rhythms escalates the energy. If you love the type of dark clubbing themes, you’ll feed on the darkness of this tune.
Toby Macarony – In Love With Another Man | Glitch-Pop
The creativity of Toby Macarony is incessant. You felt in love with their previous releases and now you’ll love another new and bouncy release by them. Carefree melodies, a bass bopping miscellaneously and prismatic chords are in joyment side by side that’ll get you prancing! Let love magnify equal as the radiating consonances of this song. Don’t forget to hug your partner today like the lovebirds of the video.
Awkward Marina – Anthropology (The Living Tombstone Remix) | Electro Swing
It is no mystery when the famous upbeat swing piano plays accompanied by the distinguishable ear candy vocals of Marina. Anthropology got renewed to celebrate its 10-year anniversary and The Living Tombstone bursted in along to remix it! With a 2D version of Marina dancing, TLT favors their music production style alike a swing band playing with lively electronic synths to fill up the ambience and jam the crowd! What a great time to relive and give tribute to the swing era and relive Lyra’s musical human obsession. Classic fandom songs don’t get old and to revivify the lyrics is no fake mythology. Join the crowd and rejuvenate your playlist with this remix.
Cherax Destructor – The Rescue (Algo at All remix) | Chillout
The origin of the song The Rescue dates back to 2013, inspired by the shipfic Vinyl and Octavia: University Days. The song and the fic keep aging like fine wine and remain unforgettable. A refined fresh remix recently dropped by Algo at All with a feel straight to the heart to pound to the beat of this new sound. The glossy singing of Cherax attaches ingeniously well with the dreamy sound of the synths, the smoothness of the drums and fluid melodies, all elements dancing like butterflies in your stomach. If you ship Octavia with Vinyl, then ship this remix with your music folder!
MagicMakesItAllComplete – Unfix It Quick | Plunderphonics
I ADORE how OG MLP goes along with this. The nostalgia and the times of now get combined here to create a wonderful piece of music. This track itself is an EXPERIENCE. So many smooth, lovely, and chill vibes with BOTH top tier electronic sounds and yet the acoustic instruments mixed within add a touch of class. The vocal chops as well add unto making this track just… perfect, cute and wholesome. Let this track showcase that IT DOESN’T MATTER what generation of MLP the samples are from; they will remain TIMELESS, just like this track right here!
Awkward Marina – Anthropology (Marina’s 10-year Anniversary Version) | Pop/Electro Swing
Wow – believe it or not, it’s already been ten years since Awkward Marina’s legendary “Anthropology” came out, and to this day it still receives a lot of love (perhaps most notably via the BlackIceMusic Remix)! To mark the occasion, we have a renewed anniversary edition courtesy of Awkward Marina herself – so let’s get into the awesomeness!
The first thing you’ll notice is that the song received a whole new instrumental; we now have an upbeat pop melody with – you guessed it – lyre, guitar parts and some horse contributions later in the song as well, all of which create a fun departure from the predominantly piano-focused instrumental of the original! You’ll also be able to spot some slight changes to the lyrics, most obviously the increase in girl power as the names of Barack Obama and Micheal Phelps are changed to Lauren Faust (the beloved creator of Gen 4) and Lady Gaga (one of Awkward Marina’s musical inspirations). Additionally, Awkward Marina put in a bit of a fourth wall break, replacing the line, “Maybe humans like us, too, and dress like us at Comic Con,” with, “Maybe humans like us and write us our own fandom songs.” There are even more fun details to discover, but I’m not going to spoil it all – you’ll have to listen to it yourself (available soon on Spotify as well)!
Before I close this, I want to give a special thanks to Awkward Marina herself for being a big help in writing this article by explaining some of the details – this couldn’t have worked without her! Last but not least, a big thanks to theCANderson for helping me write an article that does this amazing song justice!
