TCB’s unique sound design is all over this new track, a remix of Zizkil’s recent Flutterbat-track. There’s some pretty aggressive sound design that mixes well with the spooky atmosphere of the original, and TCB’s mixing is clearly improving too. The vocal chops in the break add to the dark feel, and overall this is a real cool remix.

Another new track from iblank2apples, something I certainly wouldn’t complain about! This one’s a melodic dubstep track that takes Ponytronic’s original in a pretty exciting new direction. There’s plenty of blank’s customary sound design, however the dubstep tempo definitely helps it shine in a different way and the melodic interjections are excellent.
This remix of Nevermourn‘s “Nighttime Aria” is a beautiful take on the original dusk tribute. Greyfade and Butterflight create more of a space-y, atmospheric feel to really emphasize the “nighttime” emotion of the track. It is a gorgeous piece of music, especially if you are looking for some great chill-out pony tunes!
Synthis is back with a great reminder that sometimes you just need to have some fun! Listening to this track, you just feel like you are in a great club moving in rhythm and dancing your cares away. This song has a great beat with a bright synth which sets the tone for Synthis’ excellent vocals to carry you out of all your troubles!
iblank2apples’ lovely upbeat, energetic piece is about Twilight and her love of books. It’s made with ib2a’s signature synth style and superb skill. The little vocal chops accentuate the cheerful melodies beautifully. All together, it’s a wonderful composition.
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice! That’s a close enough reference and it’s time for a new ASoS album! Since the release of Lollipop this summer, the compilation album side of this project has grown alongside the promo channel that they run – this album features 36 brand new songs, and a good 2 hours or so of music for you to enjoy. The album covers a lot of the more melodic side of electronic music, as the ASoS label tends to do. There’s plenty of future bass, trance and chill stuff, but also the fair share of dubstep and bass house, and everything inbetween!
Also dat artwork, amirite?
Candy is available to download from A State of Sugar’s bandcamp page, completely for free (but you can donate if you’re feeling generous).
I think someone’s been playing a lot of Half-Life 2… Nicolas here delves into his speciality ambient style with a cross between music and fanfiction. This 9-minute track is accompanied by a short story in the description describing each movement of the song.
Not save for fillies this time! Dark vibes coming from one of the awesome trap producers in the fandom, APPL3JVCK, with awesome sampling and very well produced beats that sounds like an instrumental of $uicidalboy$. Mostly inspired by comic dubs of Pinkamena and Lil Miss Rarity relationship, APPL3 delivers a ethereal, lo-fi and dark vibe that makes me want to rap about my anger and my dark thoughts. Good job APPL3JVCK, keep up the gorgeous work! Nice choice of artwork too
There have definitely been covers of this, but this is definitely the first remix I’ve ever seen of the Battle For Sugar Belle. 174UDSI took the up the challenge and added his usual trance/house style to turn this from a little pop ditty into an upbeat dance track.
Exiark’s stunning sound design is put to perfect use in this lovely track. Wubbly, deep, and very atmospheric, A Grim Fate seems to convey the feeling of Nightmare Moon after her transformation. Lovely melodic chords build to an incredibly complex drop. It’s an all-around amazing piece of music!
