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 – Make A Wish (Silvertune & John Kenza Remix) | Hands Up
You may have already heard this one if you were at Kenza’s incredible sets at Everfree Northwest or High Roller Pony Con this year, but if not, you’re really in for a treat. One of Kenza’s specialties, his intensely happy hands up (uhh, hooves up, anypony?) music lends itself amazingly to any party setting (fitting considering the song it’s remixing). I hadn’t heard of Silvertune before, but I’m definitely going to be exploring his hands up music after this. Personally, I think the dialogue between the verses fit like a glove here, which was a nice touch. As is to be expected with Kenza’s music, the mix is pristine and everything, from Pinkie’s vocals to the synths in the drop, sounds totally crisp. Not a lot of love for hands up is usually shown in the fandom, so if you’re into the genre, you’re going to love this one. Let’s party!
Foozogz – New Journey | Happy Hardcore
The great Foozogz returns yet again! All the staples of his music are present on this wonderful new track: 170 bpm, frantic synths, an infectiously happy vibe, and some divine pony vocal chops during the switch-up! Clearly the song is quite emotional to him, the title perhaps signifying a fresh start (G5 anypony?). Definitely one to check out if you enjoy Fooz’s other music.
[ASOS] F 109 – Luna De Los Instrumentos (Album Version) | Experimental
F 109 is one of the biggest leading figures in the experimental pony music scene right now, and they hit hard with their magnificent track for A State of Sugar Bubblegum! This version is only about 2 minutes, and I recommend listening to the longer Original Version (included as a bonus track if you download the album from Bandcamp) for even more progressive experimental greatness. Beats, bass, flute, guitar, violin… This track is a wonderful trip and breath of foreign air!
AstralAmity – The Harmony Overture (Intro feat. Whovian) | Orchestral / Electronic
AstralAmity’s powerful experiences have led her to imbue much depth in her works, and it is certainly palpable in this intro track from an upcoming album! From the inspired experimentation and progression, to the use of different instruments and styles, to the epic storytelling, this moving Overture is delivering much emotion and depth, and shows what you can expect from the album!
Toby Macarony – Buckball Time | Soundtrack
Now this here is the best of treats for me, because it’s a remix of a BGM from the show that I love a lot!! It also works as an extended version. Toby has been on a roll with those, and it’s a real delight to get his take on the amazing Serious Practice BGM by William Anderson. In the same vein, I recommend Fluttershy’s Training Montage which is my favorite BGM from the show ever..! So very emotional to get such rock greatness along the events of the episode…
Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra – Rainbow Dash (Soar Into The Blue) | Synthpop / Orchestral
I like this, thissa good track :3 I like the lyrical arrangement and that playing together with the melody. As someone myself with feelings for somebody I care about a lot (and like, truly love) I can relate to this track. The symphony is performed marvelously and I really enjoyed listening to this. Rainbow Dash is proud of y’all ❤ Well done guys, great work!
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] eksoka – Little Journey | Trance
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 July 2018
More trance from eksoka can only mean that good times are around the corner, and this time we’ve got a CMC-inspired piece from them about going on an adventure. There’s heaps of awesome classic trance-y vibes throughout the track with super cool use of vocal chops to add some atmosphere to the piece as it winds through some lovely melodies.
HACKD – Go With The Flow | Tech House
If you like creative use of clips from episodes, then this round of cider will be to your taste! It was inspired by S06E12 Spice Up Your Life and it’s full of flavor as per The Tasty Treat’s tradition! Lovely use of both vocal and SFX clips from the episode is complementing an instrumental and sound design work from under the counter, and HACKD displays once more how pony passion and hard work make the magic happen.
