Lorris’s new album is jam-packed with delightful wubbly goodness. Dubstep, drumstep, trap, and more are all represented here, with an overarching cybernetic theme. Every song is amazing, and there’s enough variation to keep you engaged throughout the album. Songs like Dropshot are guttural and bassy, while Particles Storm is crisp and dark. It’s pay what you want, so go give it a listen!

Ditherer – Love Trouble (feat. Doodled) (TCB Remix) | Hybrid Trap
WARNING: NSFW LYRICS Where to even begin with this one. I’ve been at Bronycon showing this song to some very prominent figures in horse music, and they all had the same dropped jaw when they heard this. The beginning of this remix has is reminiscent of a Migos song, then shifts to something very Middle Eastern-influenced (something I personally have missed in trap music). Ditherer has proven himself to be the fandom’s premiere lyricist after only a few months and it shows here. He spits multis on multis, and the verse, like most of his music, feels very deliberate. And what’s he rapping about? Horse poon. Same goes for Doodled, who starts his verse off with some outrageous Auto-Tune and transitions to a highly catchy refrain. That hook immediately leads to the awe-inspiring drop, proving TCB still is one of the most underrated fandom musicians to ever do it. Doodled is no slouch on the mic either, however. His cool delivery and flow is effortless and also has some very intriguing rhyme schemes throughout his verse. A song for true flank lovers only.
Daniel Ingram – The Spectacle (StrachAttack 2018 Remix) | Dubstep / Riddim
He’s the pony you wanna call to bring fire to your party, and he’s back with a crazy new version of the masterpiece of a remix from 2016! With original songs, show song remixes, and all-out party mixes, StrachAttack always brings some of the most hard-hitting music in the pony music scene and this new take on Daniel Ingram’s The Spectacle is no exception! Beloved elements from the original remix are reawakened along tasty sound design and mighty composition, making for such a heavy yet refined treat!
Also StrachAttack’s mix from BronyCon 2018 just got released on his Mixcloud and it’s as crazy as ever with banging signature plays as well as awesome surprises! I highly recommend it. Listen to it from here!
[ASOS] Suskii – Heart | Chillstep
Fresh off the newest ASOS album, Suskii brings us some chillstep! It’s much softer than his usual content, and very relaxing to listen to. Give this sweet little song a listening-to!
Totalspark – Revenge (feat. N. Hollow) | Hybrid Trap
When you collab with N. Hollow, you know that your track is going to be sick and cool! This heavy Hybrid Trap banger is about Sweetie Bot and brings both N. Hollow’s mad rapping skills and the extent of Totalspark’s exploration of the heavier genres. Intriguing melodies, amazing sound design, and cool vocals are all making for a blissful experience of sound that just makes you want to loose yourself in it.
R3CTIFIER – Femme Fatale | Dubstep
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 July 2018.
R3CTIFIER will be performing later this year at BronyCon, and this exclusive track released to celebrate that fact is a great example of why! There are a bunch of badass female lead characters in the show which provide the inspiration behind this track, as it builds up through some catchy vocal chops before hitting with some of R3C’s classic heavy sound design.
Zizkil – She Only Comes Out At Night (VooDoo & Dihedral Remix) | Dubstep
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 June 2018.
She Only Comes Out At Night was a great tune from Zizkil, and VooDoo has totally turned it on its head in combination with Dihedral. The addition of some vocals adds some context and depth, whilst the drops build up well and hit hard. Definitely one of the more interesting and transformative remixes I’ve heard recently, so make sure to check it out!
[P@D] Exiark & lia;quo – Within You | Dubstep
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 June 2018.
Exiark and lia;quo are unarguably two of the best producers in the fandom when it comes to their ability to combine modern and powerful sound design with memorable and interesting arrangement and composition. To have them both team up for a track together is therefore something that just had to be awesome! This tune combines beautiful melodic sections with aggressive and sleek drops to really create an awesome piece.
UndreamedPanic – The Outdoors | Album | Electronic
I don’t think I could ever count the amount of music that Panic’s made. The sheer volume of music he’s contributed to fandom is incredible and it all just keeps getting better as he grows as a producer! The Outdoors sees him taking on some more poppy styles like Future Bass, a bit of Indie Pop influence, but also a good deal of Melodic Dubstep tracks too. Anyone who’s a fan of Panic’s usual songs, or any kind of mainstream-style electronic music is bound to enjoy this.
The Outdoors is available to purchase on UndreamedPanic’s Bandcamp.
[P@D] lia;quo – From The Ashes | Melodic Dubstep
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 2 May 2018.
lia;quo’s Japanese stylings always make for some super interesting music, and here is no different, with a new melodic dubstep tune inspired by Twilight’s struggles through the MLP movie. Soft vocals sung in Japanese fit beautifully with some lovely composition and subtle synths, before some powerful drops that excellently blend emotional chords and cool bass design.
