Propa dir’y stuff this. Spikey Wikey is not only a connoisseur of electronic music in the fandom, but he makes some fantastic music himself too! This track draws on inspiration from UK bass styles of music, with somewhat minimal drums letting the lower register speak for itself. Interspersed with samples of the Dazzlings from Rainbow Rocks too, it has an element of darkness that draws you in and hints at the force of nature you’re about to face off against.
Electronic
Violin Melody – Press Start | Future House
Ah, Violin Melody… so happy to hear from her again with her epic music tunes! I couldn’t wait to Press Start on this. (NO PUN INTENDED I SWEAR) And you bet that it’s ALWAYS pleasure to do! This lovely, bouncy, and hyper track ABSOLUTELY delivers… I love the shifts, the overall vibe, the electronics… WHAT A TRACK! And It’s always a pleasure as well to write music with Sunny involved. I’d LOVE to more video games involving her to be honest. I think she’s great. The rainbow power of this track flowing hard and beautifully just like her mane… Epic! great work Violin! Keep it up with your wonderful melodies… It’d be an honour to write for you again. ❤
MCO945 – Sunlight Path | Liquid Drum & Bass
A recent release from MCO945 has me in awe honestly, it’s not often you see such great Liquid D&B tracks. It’s ethereal and light, funky, the pads that play throughout are the best thing about the track, and the shuffle-like drums add a very catchy rhythm, kind of reminds me of Desimal’s works. The whole song gets you the feeling of ascension to heaven, with Princess Celestia waiting there to comfort you, as depicted in the artwork. Seriously, give this song a listen, you won’t regret it.
Daniel Ingram – A Changeling Can Change (SpinScissor Remix) | Trance
SpinScissor has pulled out all the stops for their first release of 2023! A great drawn out ethereal and soothing opening transitioning and twisting itself with a driving beat and sharp synth arpeggios it nails that Deadmau5 inspiration from yesteryear as well as some inklings of older pony music. The entirety of this large nearly eight minute long track zips by in a flash which is no small feat and the “epilogue” style ending where Thorax is finally accepted adds that satisfying closure, keeping everything tight as a drum!
RosePoni Roseluck – Princess of the Night (NeighGative_’s “Day of Reckoning” Mix) | Trance
NeighGative_’s remix of RosePoni Roseluck’s “Princess of the Night” is a adventure full of twists and turns! In its epic, near seven-minute duration, the piece takes us on a journey through a multitude of different sections, each with its own unique sound and character, keeping the listener hooked! At times, it is dark, groovy, and focused with its synths, only to give way to a new section that’s elegant, introspective, and hopeful, backed by gorgeous strings. Then it turns to something energetic and intense, with its synth stabs and wubbing bass. Throughout, you’ll hear the same Luna chops that RosePoni used in the original—they complement the piece so well as the different aspects of Luna’s character match the sections of the track! The piece eventually comes full circle and returns to its original section before closing out with the scratching sounds of a record stop. Overall, it’s breathtaking, so make sure to give this a listen through!
Ice Angel & KiTSUNE – Colorful (Sylvver & FORSAKE Remix) | Future Bounce
What a beautiful and wholesome remix do we have here of Ice Angel & KiTSUNE’s Colorful. Funnily enough, it’s the perfect way to describe BOTH this extremely joyful tune and its remix. Forsake & Sylvver absolutely NAILED this, with their remix complimenting the cute, happy and lovely sound of the original by Ice and Kit. Ponies are truly a joy, and I am happy to both see & hear that being celebrated throughout this song. Adding colour to the beauty of life – wonderful! Well done all 4 of you! Make sure you check out both the original and this fantastic remix!
Proto_ssin & GrazySmash – Depth pt. II (feat. Koa) [Ice Angel Remix] | Dubstep
Ice Angel’s remix of Depth pt. II begins with the lush tones of piano and Koa’s voice reverberating to create an ethereal space. But don’t let that fool you—as the drums and orchestra come in, it all builds up to when the electrifying drop hits. Here, the heavier dub rhythms blend nicely with the ethereal pads, still floating effortlessly above. The track then interludes with the sound of rainfall and xylophone-like bells before a four-on-the-floor bass drum delivers us to the track’s intense climax.
Daniel Ingram – Flawless (EveryDayDashie Remix) | Electro House
EveryDayDashie’s high-energy remix of Flawless from Friendship is Magic will have you dancing on your hooves for sure! With its ridiculously catchy synth line between verses, and its vocal chop swell before dropping into the final chorus, there’s plenty to grab your attention. In addition to featuring the Mane 6 vocals on top of a fresh beat, Dashie also blends in Pipp Petal’s “Show me what you got!” from Tell Your Tale’s “It’s The Pony Hip Hop,” delivering this delightful cross-generation remix.
TM – Still Pone | Drum & Bass
TM, is still pony baybee… (just like how Dre is still D.R.E.) after 12 years of this fandom going on. I think that by itself, is a beautiful statement; and with that statement, Toby brings us a epic D&B track featuring Rainbow Dash to celebrate! The energy just keeps flowing doesn’t it? Whether you want it to or not, whether you KNOW it or not, hell, whether you feel it or not. Let this track through its festive synths, electronics and power-boosting beat, show you that even if you feel down, or sad, or whatever, the pone will ALWAYS be with you, always.
rawrity – PINKIE | Synthpop
rawrity’s first release of 2023 is a nostalgic tale of an interaction with a certain somepony who left a lasting impression, yet whose name the speaker cannot recall (I wonder who that pony could be xD). The track is laced with Pinkie Pie vocal chops, and when the instrumentation drops out to just piano and vocals near the end, it’ll leave you breathless. Throughout, rawrity’s vocal performance captures the longing to be reunited; perhaps you can help them out?
