Chang31ing dug again Lung Buster from the timeless Balloon Party album, and made it his own with this hard-hitting remix full of blissful dark vibes, including the pony vocal sample from the original! Louder!

MrMehster & Tw3Lv3 – Work In Progress (BeatSpark Remix) | Dubstep
Track 4 from the WIP Remix EP is BeatSpark’s bouncy take on the MrMehster and Tw3Lv3 track! After a speedy and peppy intro, we’re treated to a phone conversation in front of a drop before launching into a powerful dubstep section that gradually picks up in speed. My favourite part personally is the little break before the end where the synths are muffled-sounding before becoming clear once again, keeping its heavenly sound. BeatSpark deserves more recognition!
[Equinity] LaunchSix – Death Grip | Dubstep
Both the title track of Death Grip EP and one of the features of the upcoming compilation album Equinity 03 Breach, this hard-hitting banger from LaunchSix is not just blowing us away with mad wubs, it also depicts the death grip that Celestia and Luna’s evil alter egos are having over them, as explained in the description!
JunkWub – Wubstep | Dubstep
JunkWub’s Vinyl-approved Dubstep is quite nostalgic and hard-hitting too, making us feel the power of that bass cannon all over again! This definitely shows a lot of promise and I’m very excited for future releases from the musician!
MrMehster & Tw3Lv3 – Work In Progress (LaunchSix Remix) | Dubstep
Part of the remix album (download link here, streaming link here) of MrMehster and Tw3Lv3‘s track Work In Progress from Equinity 02: Catalyst, LaunchSix provided his take on the banger that was the original. LaunchSix took the track he had been assigned to remix and translated directly it into his distinct style. The catchy lead melody from Tw3Lv3 is still here, but new voice lines of his own were added. This flip is also the opportunity for LaunchSix to keep showing off his remarkable sound design and his giant slap to the face of a snare. Keep your eyes peeled for his three tracks on the upcoming Equinity 03: Breach compilation album, dropping soon.
John Kenza – Take to the Sky (feat. Koa) (TCB Remix) | Happy Hardcore / Dubstep
TCB keeps pouring bangers, here with a flip of John Kenza‘s track from Ponies at Dawn – Ignite featuring Koa. While it is often overlooked, TCB made sure the mix would be DJ friendly but enjoyable to listen to as a standalone nonetheless. As always, his sound design is full of colors, especially in the two dubstep drops. The snappier snare or clap and punchier kick in the happy hardcore section also help bridge the gap between the two genres.
BeatSpark – Hooves Upon Tartarus | Dubstep
In the midst of the nonexistent EDM festival season, BeatSpark decided to take a few pages out of Disciple’s playbook and make this nasty beast of a track. Seriously the distorted sub at the beginning, the build with those nice punchy (to the point my subs in my 4 inch monitors were producing so much power that I could feel it across my studio) kicks, that nasty predrop to the drop was just pure festival vibes. When it hits to that breakdown after that first drop and that soft saw wave melody came in, I audibly said, “Is it ending already? No way!” especially when everything faded out with the reverb tail. The second 8 bar predrop to the drop was surprising and seriously threw me off which I enjoyed quite well! BeatSpark is definitely one of the dubstep producers to keep an eye on for more bangers in the future!!
TCB – Integrity VIP, YONA GONNA, GLOOM & BLOOM, Death in The Afternoon VIP | Multi-Genre
TCB has been quite active recently and submitted songs to most of the labels in the fandom. He uploaded four of them in the form of the present mix and all the links to the albums and the entire tracks are in the video description. Uniqueness is a defining trait of TCB’s music, every time bringing fresh and original ideas to the table. With insane sound design, the use of a wide range of orchestral instruments and ingenious work with vocals, TCB builds a universe of sounds from the ground up with each new release of his. Integrity VIP is a variation of a track from the Keys & Cuts EP using vocals from The Magic Inside. YONA GONNA has input from Loophoof and hits very hard, even if it has emotional moments nonetheless. GLOOM & BLOOM uses the lullaby from Bloom & Gloom, aims to target the feels and succeeds. Death in The Afternoon VIP is a new take on the track from the album The Closet Anthology that unfortunately went a bit under the radar so it is nice to see it getting some more love. It still features Ditherer but gives a more central role to the instrumental which doesn’t only serve as a backbeat to support her rapping anymore. As a last note TCB’s set at BronyBashOnline includes exclusive yet-to-be-released VIPs and Remixes, it would be a shame to miss them.
Nyancat380 – Depressed | Alternate Electronic
Nyan has always had some interesting and fun tracks and this no exception! A nice expansive melody that slips around constantly opens the track, trying to hold itself together as it builds. The multiple drops however are a different animal all together! Its hard for me to describe from percussive focused hard hitting energy to shuffling DnB style drops with a healthy sprinkling of power chords, you can feel the swing in mood and raw emotion and they do an excellent job switching between sad, and angry. If you’re looking for something a little different, you’ve found it!
Never Say Neigh – Black Stable: Vol 3 | Compilation Album | EDM
Never Say Neigh just unveiled their newest album and as with the previous two compilations, this one hits hard and with fantastic quality! The eight-track album has a nice variety of producers and collaborations who all combine to show that NSN is a stand-out project within the fandom to continue paying attention to! Do not be afraid to turn NSN3 up and make it loud – that’s how it is meant to be played!
