Heavy is the hoof that brings the noise. Hoofy’s latest tune is P!NK GVNG, an intense dubstep track that combines elements of trap, breakbeat, drum & bass and even metal at one point. Starting out with a trap beat, we’re then thrust into a big buildup before being bludgeoned with intense wubs and heavy drums. A couple of bars even feature the iconic Amen Break with powerful DnB bass behind it. This beastly banger will be sure to make a crowd go insane!
Dubstep
Daniel Ingram – The Magic Inside (Ardhy Remix) | Melodic Dubstep
This song is so powerful and an incredible thing to listen to, and this remix definitely lives up to that. This remix keeps the original vocals, and also adds some melodic dubstep to them to make an equally powerful version of this show song. And, might I add, this track is an absolute testament to this fandom’s creative ability, and the fact that, even with the show gone, we can still make awesome works, like this one, based off of it!
Skron – Apple Cannon | Deathstep
Basshoof Records are kicking off their first release with a bang by promoting Skron’s Apple Cannon. A very hard and gritty tune with foreboding and varied vocal splices, screaming basses and a powerful and tense melody in between the breaks, this one is a very strong first step for this label, and they’ve definitely got my attention!
SweetF1RE – AppleBlood [2019 Remix] | Dubstep
The Russian brony scene is home to some of the most dedicate fans in the entire fandom. SweetF1RE’s remix of his own track AppleBlood is a creepy Russian language banger that features heavy dubstep basslines alongside creepy music box style synths and SweetF1RE’s deep, gravely voice to make a Nightmare Night piece that’ll be sure to creep you out! Somepony needs to give Applejack a Snickers…
Daniel Ingram – Light of Your Cutie Mark (Sam Quak Brony Remix 2) | Melodic Dubstep
Sam Quak Brony builds upon his original remix of Light of Your Cutie Mark with this VIP. The atmosphere at the top of the song feels fresher and more ethereal, the chiptunes (and the mix in general) are sharpened, the first drop’s leads are more evocative, and the second’s dubstep growls are even more ferocious. Sam Quak doesn’t have too many subscribers at the moment, so don’t let this killer remix fly under your radar, bassheads!
Black Electric and SDreamExplorerS – Marionette (Lianella Stilson Remix) | Metalstep
Metal and EDM aren’t two genres that crossover all that often, but it seems like those who make it happen know how to do it right. Lianella Stilson’s Remix of the SDreamExplorerS‘ cover of Black Electric‘s Marionette combines the heavy guitars and crushing vocals from Dream with synthetic drums and low basslines. This is Lianella’s first release since Fireworks from February of this year, and what a way to return this is.
Brilliant Venture – Legacy : In the Mix | Album | Dubstep / Drum & Bass
Here it is! Brilliant Venture’s long awaited album is now upon us and boy was it worth the wait. Including many remixes of classics of both community and show songs, as well as original tracks, this album is truly a love letter to the fandom.
Brilliant’s signature wubs are very much present as one could expect and the musician also ventures in drum and bass giving a refreshing new spin to the Ponies at Dawn-featured track I Love This Fandom. Time honored Party With Pinkie by Alex S. gets a remix keeping the spirit of the original while making it sound quite novel. You will also find their take on iblank2apples’ I’ve Been Dreaming of Sunshine and Celery Stalks, adding it to the ever-growing list of wonderful remixes of this now absolute classic, giving it a new feel with heavier dubstep parts in true Brilliant Venture style.
I most definitely invite you to discover the many delightful gems treasured in this album full of adorable pony vocal chops, uplifting beats and marvelous melodies!
[Equinity] LaunchSix – Marshmallow |Dubstep / Riddim
From Equinity 01: Stellar, LaunchSix released Marshmallow. This one is a lot of fun for the bass heads out there with powerful percussion and screaming basslines and leads. This piece pulls out all the stops and keeps the energy pumping throughout!
[P@D] Quadrivia & MEQA – Paroxysm | Complextro
Been quite a while since I heard something like this from the fandom. Is this a Ponies at Dawn release or is this a Monstercat release? Honestly, I couldn’t really tell if you just played this track without telling me that it’s pony themed. In fact, I would be like, “No way, you are kidding me.”
Seriously, fandom music has grown so much over the years. Maybe I’m just out of the loop for too long but this outstanding Complextro track from Quadrivia and MEQA really blew my mind. It’s got all the chops (pun intended) of electro house and glitch hop, which means it’s super dance-able and sounds not just what you would expect but more: a piece of electrifying ear candy. Give it a listen, it’s sure to get your heart pumping in no time.
Also while we’re at it, you should totally check out Ponies at Dawn’s new album, Eternal! If this is the standard we’re going off on, it is on track to be one of the best albums ever put out by the label.
Ponytronic – Angresty | Dubstep
A musical experiment with a dual meaning, this track off Ponytronic’s long-awaited “Phantasm EP” dropping October 28th is expressing Luna’s struggle when she originally started to become Nightmare Moon, as well as a personal story, with slashing wubs in a starry and emotional atmosphere. And check out that very creative outro!
