Memory Tale brings new life to “Invisible” with their remix, turning it into an electrifying Drum & Bass experience that hits all the right notes. Packed with deep, rolling basslines, punchy drums, and a surprising touch of electric guitar, the track delivers an irresistible energy that’ll have you bouncing in your seat. The addition of backing vocals enhances the emotional weight of the melody, adding depth without overshadowing the driving beat. Whether you’re a seasoned D&B fan or just dipping your hooves into the genre, this remix is a must-listen — and trust me, it’s worth it, I’ve listened to a lot of Drum & Bass so when I tell you it’s good – It’s really good!

Hay Tea – Balefire Symphony (Espy Vibe Remix) | Drum ‘n Bass
The Drum and Bass community has a new face to welcome with Espy Vibe, introducing themselves with this wonderful remix of Hay Tea‘s Balefire Symphony. Their version of this symphony is a bit more taken back, with the accompanying melody a bit further in the background. By having the drums more in the foreground, Espy Vibe creates a soft yet powerful melody, allowing you either to ease your thoughts into the relaxing sounds of the faded melody or divert your focus further towards this lovely track to pick up every fine bit of the tune.
Daniel Ingram – Hearts As Strong As Horses (Chang31ing Remix) | Drum & Bass
“Hearts Strong as Horses” has always been one of those staple songs from FiM that was deliberately crafted differently by Daniel Ingram; it was the first song of Season Four and the first song to break such a long hiatus, so it had a lot of hype riding on it. I’m glad that over ten years later, it is still being remixed, and by one of the strongest remixers currently active in the fandom. Going into this remix, I thought it would be a subtle remix with elements of DnB and some slightly increased energy with the faster tempo as hinted at in the first moments of the song, but that was quickly squashed at the first drop. Such intensity and distortion that screams that this different from the other remixes of the song while not compromising what made this song special to begin with. Oh, and the added “oof’s” that were ripped straight from Super Mario 64 was a nice touch that brought a smile to my face.
RedWire – CRYOGENIC | Drum & Bass
This erratic electronic track from RedWire depicts their own take on the origins of the Crystal Empire. The lyrics tell the story of a pony named Crystal Snow, who sets out to unlock the powers of the Crystal Heart and in so doing, finds herself consumed. Buzzing bass, frantic drums, and some wicked vocal effects create a captivating soundscape to complement this haunting, creative tale.
SpinScissor – Goodbye (2023 Remaster) | Liquid Drum & Bass
A little over two and a half years ago, SpinScissor graced the world with his song “Goodbye,” which was already a solid song. Now we get blessed with a new remastered version! Right off the bat, the percussion and secondary melodies hit us with a wave of energy & drive. I still can’t get over those elongated bass line licks in the middle of the track, shaping the tone of the overall song & driving the transitions between the unique sections. All in all, every instrument and sound melds together to create a wonderful experience for your ears.
RedWire – What Do You Believe In | Drum & Bass
The final and titular track of RedWire’s EP, “What Do you Believe in,” is a majestic and transcendental piece. It begins with minimal but haunting synths and crunched percussion, soon to be accompanied by piano. Don’t get too cozy though, because everything drops out, and you’re slammed as the bass comes in! It continues to be thoughtful and evolve over time, with orchestral plucks joining the mix, and highly stylized vocals joining well into the song. It’s an absolute treat to savor, and by the end, you may have achieved enlightenment!
Pagan Pegasus – Earth Pony Envy | Electro Swing / Drumstep / Drum & Bass
Pagan Pegasus is no stranger to hard-hitting tracks, and this one is no exception.
Right from the start you hear the piano run and vocal samples and you know you’re in for a treat that only builds from there. The drop in this track hits hard, and just when you think it couldn’t get any better, you get an excellent blend of contextual vocal samples taken straight from G5, the tempo goes double-time and hits twice as hard! This is definitely worth a listen, if for no other reason than the fantastic blending of genres that make up “Earth Pony Envy”. You’ll find yourself headbanging along to the beat and maybe gain a new understanding about why Posey Bloom really doesn’t like magic.

TotalSpark brings us a remix of his most popular pop song, Call Your Name! While still featuring SDreamExplorerS and Synthis, this update is a more energetic and dynamic version! The particular focus on making the voice clearer and the piano more defined definitely helped give a beloved song an even more appreciated remix! The only thing needed now is to relax as the music gently guides us to enjoy the moment thanks to the path it creates with its lyrics and harmony.
Jacqueling – Thorax (ft. Neu KatalYst) | Metal / Drum & Bass
Jacqueling is back with something slightly different to her usual repertoire. Pairing up with Neu KatalYst (once again) together they bring something that blends their two signature styles. This song maintains its high energy throughout, with Kat’s stylised vocals helping to bridge the gap between metal and electronica where this song fits perfectly.
[Equinity] ROSACE PONY – Fall To Night | Dancefloor DnB
Here we have a fast-paced entry from Equinity’s 6th compilation album, ‘Expedition’! Making heavy use of vocal lines from the Princess of the Night and Starlight Glimmer. Evoking a simple and clean, yet fun sound throughout with upbeat bouncy saws and warbly grit in the basslines, this one is a nice refreshing ‘blast-from-the-past’ take on a genre that has seen so much change over the years.
