(You can listen to the original here that was featured on P@D: Anthology)
Budzy was going to submit this to Equinity 03, and I have little doubt that this would have made the cut. Taking his original and slowing it down a bit as is the case for riddim dubstep, this track sure tells more of the cerebral side of Big Bad Tirek. All the elements and vocal chops from the original are still present. Instead of speed, there are these slow, intense elements along with electrifying buzzing elements that are paired with those deep bass drops commonly heard in dubstep. Oh, and that deep methodical melody that goes with the track really empathizes just how vile Tirek really is, it so complements the theme of the track. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Dubstep
[ASOS] Voltex Pixel & Cynifree & Paloris – Flame To Fire | Melodic Dubstep
Today we have yet another Sugar post, this time Voltex Pixel, Cynifree and Paloris have come together to bring us this amazing Melodic Dubstep track that is sure to lift your spirits. This song is about the friendship of Spike and Smolder and starts out with a beat and some samples and slowly adds more beats, it slowly begins building up and eclipses in the hook with some completely different and yet similar beats. After the hook the song becomes simpler but immediately starts adding more beats and building up again until the catchy hook plays once more. This track no matter if you like dubstep, no matter if you like melodic tracks will make you move you head along to the beat and make you dance as soon as the hook hits.
[Equinity] Budzy – Throwback | Dubstep
Today we have got ourselves another great song from the Equinity 3: Breach album. Budzy brings us a Dubstep track modeled after his older releases. The track starts out how you expecte a clubsong to start out: with happy uptune beats, but as soon as the beat picks up you know this isn´t your run-off-the-mill club song, the massive beat is sure to blow you off your feet and the beat from the beginning get´s repeated in different versions through out the song and is sure to make you smile. Lovers and haters of Dupstep alike I can promise a exceptional experience with this stellar track.
[Equinity] Suskii – Crystal | Metalstep
Track 2 from Equinity 03: Breach is Crystal, a unique contribution from Suskii! Beginning with a deep electronic riff with a sample of Celestia speaking about Sombra, a quick build up is telegraphed by her saying “now go!”, before building up to an insanely heavy dubstep drop with powerful punchy drums and intense synth sounds. We’re given a small break with a deep synth melody before the second half kicks in… A light synth sound makes up the bulk of this section before we’re treated to the sound of Suskii’s vocals, which are harmonius and filled with emotional. Right after is a sudden change of pace with the addition of heavy drums, distorted guitars and screaming. This metal/dubstep fusion showcases a lot of his musical chops while being a welcome fit on the compilation. And this is only the beginning!
AnimatronicPony & Burning Gryphon – Soul Tripper | Chillstep
A collab with Burning Gryphon blending hard-hitting wubs with an emotional atmosphere, Soul Tripper definitely lives up to its name with such a powerful experience of sound, to be savored along princess Twilight Sparkle featured in the video. A success for sure, and the musicians did so great!
SP1TF1R3 & 4mplitude – Insomnia | Psytrance / Dubstep
Psytrance is always a genre I appreciate, especially when its mixed in with another genre like dubstep. This one is short and sweet with an ominous tone and does a very good job at allowing the tension and energy to ebb and flow, the varying rhythms between genres is always a nice addition in my book and its especially well done here, utilizing every second of its length to bring about an interesting evolution of the song!

Direct Current – Unleashed | Experimental Dubstep
A track for EQG fans!
Finally, somebody has made a track about how psycho Midnight Sparkle is! Let’s start with the vile distorted vocals to show the clash inside Sci-Twi’s head! Featuring some well-used vocal and music chops from “Unleash the Magic”, the lyrics tell the tale of Midnight slowly coming out. The melody really builds that up well, along with the robotic vocals for extra malice! Give this a listen, fans of Midnight Sparkle; this one’s for you! As always this Qilin, asks you to judge for yourself.
BVYANX – Magic | Dubstep
Ah it’s always fun when I hear what some fresh faces with talents have to offer in the modern brony music community! BVYANX here rolls out a showcase of experimentation in Bass, Sounders and wavy synthesis! Using our beloved big brain book horse as a conduit. There is a nice degree of magical synthetics and riffs to represent Twilight playing around with electronic music along with the deep bass and hard synths with a mythical sounding melodies mixed in with the hard beats of Dubstep. Not too bad. I always enjoy a musician taking what a character represents and makes a story out of it through music. This was enjoyable. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself
[NSN] Soundnix x AJ Young – Biohazard | Dubstep
-Ominous: indicating the nature of a future event, for good or evil; having the significance of an omen; being a portent.
Boy, that definition is the nature of the tag team of Soundnix and AJ Young. The calm before the storm with that atmospheric build up is simply breathtaking. And then it’s ground zero as that heavy bass drops! Those dangerous wubby and zingy riffs make you head for the hills! This track wonderfully tells the tale of the ponies in Equestria dealing with a pandemic much like we are now. While still chaotic and atmospheric, this fusion of dubstep and orchestra elements is fluid in its combination! Listen to chaos at its best musically for NSN Vol 3: Black Stable! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
