Assertive Fluttershy – Boo Hoo (BGM Remix) | Drum & Bass

How about some early fandom beats for your ears? Assertive’s “Boo Hoo” remix gets a fresh facelift with a boost! The lead to that classic drop is invigorated now, driving hard bass, muscled-up melodies, and pitch of Rock elements. The little drips of chiptune are rather charming to add some flavor. We get lil’ crazy after that drop where D&B get smashed and mashed, where rock and D&B are fused with a fresh new life with the integrity of the classic is cared for. BGM has just been given this classic a dose of 2cc’s of excitement. He’s been on emergence as of late within the Brony Music Community, putting out some promising pieces of music that have not gone unnoticed! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Totalspark – Perception | Liquid Drum & Bass

A recent release by Totalspark is one of the great examples of a darker style of Liquid Drum & Bass, and it proves that by wasting no time, setting a mood right away – the colorful somber pads and a plucky bell-chime melody, followed with a heavy sub, will create a gloomy picture in your mind, yet not without a glimpse of hope. It’s both simple and complex at the same time, it’s deep, intense, and will definitely get stuck in your head for quite some time – I heavily encourage you to experience this mix of dark undertones with a total spark (pun intended) of light.

Ponytronic – Celestial Promises EP | Electronic

Editor’s note: better late than never, right? (sorry Tron)

Following up on their 2019’s EP Luna’s Essence, Ponytronic brings you a day in the life of Princess Celestia’s royal duties as protector of Equestria! Ponytronic takes a different approach to express that through an album where Celestia is trying to figure out how not only to rule Equestria with her Sister Luna but aid her sister in re-adapting to modern Equestria. That is, however, not expressed in melodies that tell a story of struggle but these fitting beats of positively charged D&B and Drumstep tell a tale of overcoming challenges that Celestia takes on head-on! Have a listen!

Geekbrony – The Hive | Neurofunk

It’s been quite some time since Geekbrony has released anything, but it’s been worth the wait! Over one and half years in the making, this track is here to remind you why Geek is still one of the best producers in the fandom. The hyperintense aggressive synth is only the start of this masterpiece! The deadly game between Starlight Glimmer and Queen Chrysalis is captured with vocal samples full of hate and hostility, and the big showdown vibe with how that bass hits you until you are senseless. Mixed with the aggression is this soft but passive-aggressive melody that perfectly lines up with how spiteful Chrissy is and how game Starlight is to show that in return! Geekbrony has said this is the most complex and dynamic track they have ever put together. The layers of the composition give you a banger you can really pump your fist to. This track is how you immerse your listeners into a dramatic confrontation and still make a fantastic banger! As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Vylet Pony – Antonymph (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Drum & Bass

For the anniversary of Vylet Pony’s Antonymph Vylet released the stems, so Tw3Lv3 jumped at the opportunity and made this banger of a remix!

[P@D] MCO945 – Through The Horizons | Drum & Bass

For the newest Ponies at Dawn album “Zenith” MCO945 put together an amazingly upbeat drum and bass track that will have you excited and bopping your head all the way through! In a nice mix of slower parts and upbeat drops this song has a perfect variety of moods to have something in it for everyone to enjoy, even if drum and bass isn’t particularly your genre!

Toby Macarony – Butterfly Pegasi | Drum & Bass

Toby Macarony’s talent truly knows no end! In his newest track he brings us a fun drum and bass piece, featuring some amazing traditional flutes, which manages to, despite the upbeat synth melody and fire drums, give the whole song this traditional vibe in parts, but when it isn’t traditional this song goes all out with a melody that’ll stay in your ear for a while and a beat that’ll make you bop your head up and down without an end in sight!

PSMFer – Dreamstate | Halftime Drum & Bass

A while ago there appeared a little podcast thingy from Princess Pipp that was supposed to help you fall asleep, but instead of that PSFMer stayed awake and crafted a beat that will truly make your skin crawl! Sampling the podcast and creating this dark and eerie vibe around it was something unexpected but PSFMer nailed it an managed to turn it into a banger!
