R3CTIFIER will be performing later this year at BronyCon, and this exclusive track released to celebrate that fact is a great example of why! There are a bunch of badass female lead characters in the show which provide the inspiration behind this track, as it builds up through some catchy vocal chops before hitting with some of R3C’s classic heavy sound design.
I always love seeing remixes of this song to see what people do with it as there is just so much untapped potential to the song itself and Evgeniy has done a great job fleshing out the atmosphere and adding quite a lot to the tune itself, creating a dark yet soothing trance take with some notable nods to Tiesto’s style, it makes for quite a fun listen!

Elevative, previously known as DJ Rod, has up this point been known more for his DJing (which has brought him to the mainstage at BronyCon later this year), but this track is a good example of how he’s growing as a producer as well. Featuring some awesome vocals from BluNoseReindeer, it focuses heavily on a nice lead synth throughout a fairly minimal drop that nonetheless still has some nice energy to it.

SEAPonyCon is coming back for another year, and this time it’s being held in Singapore over the last weekend of October. To celebrate this, St. Pinkie has put together an awesome upbeat pop rock anthem for the convention, with lyrics in both English and Malay. It comes together with an awesome lyric video that shows a bunch of pictures from the last SEAPonyCon during the instrumental parts of the track, so check all that out below as well as some extra info about the convention!

Silva Hound has another new tune out from his upcoming Equestrian Stories EP, this time focused on Lightning Dust. A somewhat anthemic house tune, the real highlight for me is the strings and vocal chorus in the break, which is sung by Namii, PrinceWhateverer, Lavender, Chi-Chi and Vylet.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this is the stuff right here my dude. P@D Rebirth was lit, but Tap Out has somethin’ special to it, you feel? Mikuma and Hollow teaming up is a very good thing. The beat itself is like sitting in the Rock&Roller coaster from Disneyland on LSD. Its so good and so relaxing and hyped up at the same time. Legit one of Mikuma’s best work. While going crazy with Hollows flow. Legit, from one rapper to another, I am fully confident in saying that Hollow is one of the most talented rappers here in this fandom. You can all go home now. Go to work, you ain’t getting above this. Its over. Buh-bye. Omg. (both of you keep it up man. ❤ )
The depths of the ocean are scary and eternal, our ancestors before sailing the seas had fear of the mighty beasts that the oceans may hide. I guess that’s what fellow metal artist Reverbrony thought in making this song. 7 minutes of pure ethereal and atmospheric guitar riffs that put you inside the deep ocean, praying for your life. The “sludgyness” of the track plus with the various textures make this song really outstanding from the others that Reverbrony has produced. Is the Kraken real in Equestria? Did fellow sailorponies fear the depths of the sea? That will be a question for another episode. I recommend this track for fans of Post-Metal or any type of Doom/Sludge Metal. But everyone should listen to this! Keep up the good work Reverbrony!
Quicksilver has been on a hot streak releasing tracks over the last month and this time he revisits the time he teamed up with Hackd for something extra special! Showmare is about Trixie in her debut episode, with Quicksilver and Hackd switching off on vocal parts. The track features the upbeat, punk-style feel you know Quicksilver for with a sweet solo in the middle and excellent drums and guitars throughout.

Single Purpose has been around a fair few months on Soundcloud, but they’ve only recently ported all their tunes over to YouTube, and in my opinion this remix is certainly the most impressive of them! A smooth drum & bass remix of iblank2apples’ Twilight tune, there’s fantastic use of vocal samples and groovy chords throughout the track with excellent drums as well.

I’ve really been loving loophoof’s music lately, and another show song remix from him is great to see! This time he tackles the old classic party song Love Is In Bloom, making excellent use of the vocals throughout. Some high energy supersaws combine with awesome vocal manipulation to create something pretty great!
