Incidentally following up on Tripon’s Jump Up banger, Brohoof Studios makes another awesome use of Pinkie vocal samples from the Hop, Skip & Jump song from S01E07 Dragonshy, in a bass-heavy party choon. It marvelously plays and chops vocal samples from the episode while bringing an instrumental madness that seems like it’s waiting to tear down walls just from the power of mighty bass music. This genre “Hardbass” definitely has a fitting name! This taste of Pinkie energy is available as part of A State of Sugar Bubblegum.

The Cosine Pitchshifterz – On Your Face (NeverLastStanding Remix) | Hardstyle
Talk about a transformative remix! The prodigious and insanely versatile NeverLastStanding has blessed us with another awesome hardstyle remix, this time of Cosine’s On Your Face. NLS’ propensity for making ridiculously catchy melodies with pony vocal chops is in full effect here, and the dialogue samples from the original are used in a way very befitting of the atmosphere. The mixdown here is also great, with the kick cutting through the mix in a very satisfying way. Seems like we’ve been getting quite a lot of good horse hardstyle lately, so here’s another to add to your playlist!
Note: Since the original video got removed, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
DJT & Rusyd Rosman – Breathing Space (Shuffle Horse Remix)| Deep House / Bounce
I’ve not heard Shuffle Horse’s music before apart from his song on the recent A State of Sugar compilation, Bubblegum, but color me impressed! This remix of DJT and Rusyd Rosman’s lovely Breathing Space focuses on a tight groove and, boy, the shuffle in Shuffle Horse’s is in full effect on this song. This has to be one of the most danceable pony songs of the year. The potential for bangers to come is insane with this guy, definitely one to look out for! Did I mention he’s 15?
Eurobeat Brony – Luna 2018 (feat. Odyssey) | Eurobeat
Continuing the trend of 2018 comebacks, after two whole years, the original brony musician returns, this time with a remake of his first original pony song, Luna. Though he has been very active in playing pony conventions, this is his first Suffice to say, it’s everything you could ever ask for in a remake and more. The beginning features some breathtaking orchestration before introducing the lead melody we all know and love. The mixing is sharper, the atmosphere is augmented three times over, and Odyssey’s vocals retain the same charm as the original. This one’s essential, guys. And, just like the original, if you’re not a fan of growled vocals, there’s a Dream Mode to go along with the Nightmare Mode linked above.
Vylet Pony – Sailing Away | Chillout
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 August 2018.
Another track from Vylet’s recently released Aloe & Lotus EP, this chilled out track has some gorgeous vocals provided by him, including some really nice layering every now and then to add some depth. The instrumental is full of cool vibes and the lof-fi percussion fits in especially well.
Daniel Ingram – The Spectacle (Superplastic Remix) | Hardstyle
Aaaand we have another comeback! The name may not sound familiar, but the artist formerly known as Addictia has made a return with one of the best hardstyle tunes I’ve heard in a while, fandom or otherwise. Featured are some intriguing background vocal chops, creative percussion, lovely synths and great tension, and a cathartic hardstyle drop with a fine, fine kick! To top it all off, the drop’s melody is insanely catchy. A lot of ponies have been waiting for a great hardstyle remix of The Spectacle and I’m happy to say it has arrived!
Brilliant Venture- Celestial Summit VIP | Electro House
Brilliant Venture is finally back! His last release, Moved On, was featured on Cider Party and is a very personal and emotional song. However, he wasn’t inactive due to a lack of inspiration. Far from it, he was preparing ten (count ’em, ten) unreleased tracks for premiere at TrotCon (his set was wonderful, by the way!), and this is the first to go up online. Whereas Moved On dealt with his personal life struggles, Celestial Summit VIP is a pseudo-remix of Celestia’s Ballad from season 3’s finale, sampling it heavily through vocal chops and otherwise. It retains the emotion and the energetic wubs from Moved On, fans will be happy to discover. As usual, Brilliant Venture also draws heavily from the music and overall vibes of the old brony fandom. A treat for any fan of the original or Celestia junkie!
Daniel Ingram – Open Up Your Eyes (Notion Remix) | Future Bass / House
YOU’RE WATCHING IN
~ W I D E S C R E E N F O R M A T ~
Not content with just one genre, Notion’s put his spin on Tempest’s famous solo piece with a blend of house and future bass. While it’s a shame we still can’t get properly isolated vocals for the track, the concept behind this remix is really interesting and a pretty unique take on the song!
Brilliant Venture – Moved On (Brilliant Venture -n- AppleBukker vs. Changelings Remix) | Chiptune
Taking inspiration from a fantastic Cider Party track as well as paying tribute to his great friend, AppleBukker gives us this cunning, fun remix of Brilliant Venture’s Moved On. The original track utilized a synth which AB shrewdly recognized as a brilliant chiptune lead. This remix has the fantastic sound design of an 8-bit RPG battle soundtrack, and is made even better knowing that it meant so much to AppleBukker that he got to revisit his chiptune roots with a remix of his good buddy’s song. Pieces like this really hit home the fact that Friendship is Magic.
[ASOS] Brohoof Studios & Dreamtech – Alone (feat. Haymaker) | Synthwave
Well now, Hoofy just keeps on improving his production, eh? Always fond of retro aesthetics, he went totally synthwave with this one. He and Dreamtech’s production, especially during the drop, is lush and features some gorgeous chords. However, Haymaker really steals the show here. His delivery is sublime as always and conveys the somber tone of the song excellently (something he’s shown he’s great at on the legendary Luna’s Ruse). Check it and the rest of A State of Sugar’s Bubblegum out above!
