Breakbeat
Ponytronic – Enshrine | Ambient Breaks / Nu Skool Breaks
A rejected submission from the upcoming ASOS Chocolate, Enshrine is now gracing YouTube early to our greatest delight, and we can appreciate Ponytronic’s intriguing musical journey into the woods near the lands of the kirins… As always the progression is an experience to behold, and it’s quite creative with use of vocal chops too!
Thanks to Cynifree for the help on the genre!
MrMehster & Tw3Lv3 – Work In Progress (Power Note Remix) | Breaks/Electro House
Power Note has joined the fun with their remix of Work In Progress! The fun and catchy melody gets a new twist with break beats and a nice array of 80s style sound design. It brings a different emotion to the raw energy of the original and is a nice addition to the the plethora of remixes you can find over at the official remix compilation album!
Equestrian Terror Corps – COREQUESTRIA Vol. 1: Ponyville | Compilation Album | Horror Hardcore / Breakcore
(Warning: The following album has strong adult language, and intense horror themes. you have been warned.)
This article was Co-written by Nevermourn and DrakeEmberHeart.
If you’re looking for something really out there, or if you’re feeling adventurous in the realm of the brony music community, then my partner for this article, Nevermourn, and I want to point you to Equestrian Terror Corps’s first compilation album, “COREQUESTRIA Vol 1: Ponyville”. From listening to this Album, it’s very different from a lot of electronic music out there in the fandom. The theme of this album is horror, chaotic and disturbing electronic music that tells the tale of a disorated Ponyville, plagued by these themes. You’ll find hardcore, rawstyle, speedcore, terrorcore, breakcore, Spittercore and even some chiptune! The tracks themselves are full of some of the most interesting productions of music I’ve heard. The use of vocal chops and insanely fast, haunting and eerie-sounding elements are well done. The album will basically brainwash you into listening, as well as give you a sense of the bizarre! One of the most intriguing things is the recurring theme of various moments or episodes from the show and getting them twisted and turned for some of these tracks. It’s worth a listen. Let’s have a look, shall we?

[P@D] Tripon – Fabulous Costumes | Breaks
Always with the most tasteful influences, Tripon crafted new layers of dark atmospheres and musical bliss with his contribution to P@D Ignite! Displaying dedication not just with the music but with the cover art drawn by himself too, our beloved master of dark DnB also explored new musical ideas making this experience unique, such as the sudden organ that definitely hits me in my weakness! A new masterpiece to savor without moderation! Also check out this update video from Tripon that includes mind-blowing snippets of upcoming songs!
Spikey Wikey – Chants | Breakbeat
Fresh off the presses from Spikey Wikey is Chants, the A-side from the newly released Chants/Nice Things single! Chants does a very good job at creating a unique atmosphere with only a few elements; Fluttershy vocal samples, breakbeat samples, faint synths and a brooding bassline. Her voice is the real star of the show, adding to the track’s ominous atmosphere, particularly when she simply vocalises along with the main melody. Like she says, just give it a chance!
Daniel Ingram – A Kirin Tale (Likonan’s Club Remix) | Breaks
The Autumn Blaze has just been doubled! Listening to this wonky and delightful spin on A Kirin Tale feels like swimming in her irresistible voice and that just feels so great! Likonan definitely did amazing with these vocal chops, and I would party hard in any club playing this remix for sure!
Pinkamena Party – PONY DO ME | Compilation Album | Hardcore
Get ready for another lovely long play release by the notorious Pinkamena Party Crew! Released in celebration of this year’s Hearts and Hooves Day, this avid electronic collage contains 16 hardcore, gabber, and breakcore pieces. Jump right into it with the classic acidic gabber emotion of Dynamite Grizzly’s Genuine Pony Music. For flavors incorporating slightly more complex music theory, check out Pudding Vision by Neu KatalYst and 10 minutes is a long time by Facade of ages. For the addictive syncopations of the amen break along with a couple suggestive remarks, check out Enuna’s semi-serious track named Of Mares and Manchildren. Of course, an album of these stylistic themes wouldn’t be complete without some classic acid techno! For that aspect, listen to acid for twilight sparkle by aimaiiponyshitsu. In this album, Supersaw Hoover also reads a bittersweet goodbye to the Ponydome series in an ominous tone. And finally, Duskfall brings a wonderfully fitting close to the album with his sample-mangling song I WANNA BE WITH U. Once again, the PPC presents an electronic album fit for even the lightest electronic listeners. For the bigger fans of hardcore and breakcore, be careful, you might hurt yourself headbanging! And as always, proceeds from this album go to CLIC Sargent to help children with cancer.
Kryptage – Ballad of the Brony VIP | Breakbeat
After a couple years’ hiatus, Kryptage has returned with a VIP version of 2012’s Ballad of the Brony! With a new coat of paint, the instruments have been remastered to sound better than ever, even trading the original’s vocal chops for samples of Saberspark talking about the fandom and the impact it’s had. With more and more names returning, it’s clear the fandom’s not going anywhere anytime soon!
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!
