Those familiar with Friendship Symphonies have already heard CainbowRrash and A Symphony of Two, but this piece was the beginning of their collaboration, and a great end to the P@D Amity album. It begins with a tranquil wind section that slowly progresses as more instruments and harmonies are added, and finally resolves into my favorite section when the sax, and a lovely trumpet solo are introduced. You can actually see them recording this in the video! It’s an exploratory piece open to interpretation and doesn’t linger on one idea for too long. I definitely recommend checking it out!

ExplodingPonyToast, LutariFan & ThatMusicBrony – Start Again (Suskii Remix) | Dubstep
For all of you Awakening fans and reminiscent of the iconic Start Again, here’s yet another token of its timeless excellence and remix-appeal as Suskii turns the track in a completely new direction. It is bringing all the heavy Dubstep wubs while keeping part of that certain emotion that is singular to the original, creating a brand new emotional piece of many wonders, and ready to set any party on fire.
FruityFusion – Endless | IDM / Breakcore / Drum & Bass / Experimental
FruityFusion treats us with a most delightful surprise, as this new track blends in many genres and pioneers in many directions. With a solid melodic body and a sweet progression over the course of experimental greatness, Endless is an outstanding track and I definitely wish for more of this!
Filly in the Box – Bad Ponies | Dubstep
Filly just keeps rolling out the new tracks it seems, keeping that sweet top-notch sound design. Check out this latest one if hors dubstep is your thing.
(Yep, I’m tired, short description is short)
[P@D] Plum Creek Rhythm Section – Handbag (covering Replacer) / Dashtortion – Through The Snow | Alt. Rock
Two more P@D songs for you today! First up is this rather mellow cover of Replacer’s song Handbag done by Plum Creek Rhythm Section – so a combination of two artists whose songs on the P@D albums are consistently some of my favourites. And the intro totally doesn’t remind me of The Pretender…
And to follow, a new track from Dashtortion, which isn’t actually a solo artist, but instead a collab between StealingShad3Z and SlightlyAmiss, whose work you may remember from the last P@D album. A bit more uptempo, but still relatively chill (haha see what I did there) song with Shining Armor / Cadence themed lyrics.
Vylet – Little Dreams (Homage Remix) | Electronic
Clearly the SPW hype hasn’t worn off for Homage, as he’s recently released this nice little remix of Little Dreams. The trap and future influence in the sound design here, and some unique vocal processing and chopping stand out in particular for me on this track.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
[P@D] ExplodingPonyToast – Skywards (Reverbrony Remix) | Metal
For those of you who have been following the P@D albums for a while now, EPT’s song Skywards might ring a bell. Well now we now have a metal remix (something I only seems to see on compilation albums) of it from Reverbrony. It keeps up the tempo of the original while bringing a whole new soundscape to which the chords and melodies are added.
[P@D] Phoxi – Starlight Ataraxia (Lovestruck Brony Remix) | Electronic
TBH I have no idea what genre this is because Lovestruck did such a good job of blending a bunch of different styles together, but namely dubstep and a kind of garage/breakbeat type part. And it’s not afraid to suddenly switch things up between the 2 styles. If you havent’ heard it already, I can almost guarantee the drop will take you by surprise.
PegasYs – Colgate’s Family Dentistry VIP | Drumstep
“Y’know, for kids!” It seems Pega’s back with an old reworked track in celebration of 900 subscribers. The sound design in this track is very clean (haha, totally original joke), with an ever-changing soundscape and of course, the great unique chord progressions I’ve come to expect from PegasYs.
The Snatcher – A Fallen Star (ft. Marina) | Orchestral
This isn’t the first pony song from The Snatcher, but the last was almost 2 years ago, so I’d never heard of him until now! This song is based on a fanfiction called The Assasination of Twilight Sparkle, so no bonus points for guessing where the title comes from, but this song is a reward in itself. A 7-and-a -half minute epic with duet vocals from The Snatcher himself and someone simply known as Marina, it’s not every day you get something like this!
