Crashie Tunez explodes onto the scene with their track from the compilation album OUT OF LIMIT 1.5: Pony Love To Pedrógão Grande hosted by The Experimental Bronies and noise.horse. This tune assaults the senses with raw and powerful instrumentation, distorted and brutal vocals and the strangled cries of an NES. Chiptune and grindcore meet in a fiery fusion that psychotically and mercilessly powers forward like a bullet train, switching between verses and 8-bit synths while a pumping percussion loop rolls on. The track schitzophrenically jumps between melodies and finally crashes to an end with a shocking sound that jolts like an electric current, and the only thing to do after that is to hit repeat. Definitely a unique take on hardcore metal genres, and certainly a rare treat for those bronies who love their music HARD.

Dream Cloud – Serenity (FruityFusion Remix) | House
With the legendary pony MMO Legends of Equestria having finally reached its permanent release, what a better way to celebrate than to party hard as ponies inside Ponydale’s Sugarcane Corner… and to rediscover the BGMs from the game with crafty remixes! This one sure is a delight to get. FruityFusion’s take on the memorable field theme for Cloudopolis by LoE composer Dream Cloud sure is banging, with the original melodies and aerial, icy sound design being born anew and accompanied by tasty beats, percs and basses for a remix that you’d want to party to at some pony rave! Come say hi if you see me in the game, my main pony is White Cloud but I am also known as Mellow Dream, a spa pony who’s addicted to Sugarcane Corner’s beats-filled parties!
Daniel Ingram – Flawless (Einarx Remix) | Hybrid Trap
Einarx brings us this very unique remix of Flawless. Accented by his bass design and some nice vocal chops, this is a very fun take on a song from the show. The fun melodic elements on top of all of this makes it very delightful remix, so be sure to check it out!
Dj Shadow Music – Crystallizing Memories | Tropical House
It’s time for more awesomeness from Dj Shadow Music! This one is a pretty chill tropical house beat. It definitely is a reminder of what the beach is like, especially a beach like Maui. The lead is well-done as a mellow timbre, as it contributes to the chill feel of the song. The drum pattern is pop-like and lighthearted, and the simplicity of the song actually adds to it’s overall feel. There is a claim that sometimes, less is more, and Dj Shadow has supported that claim!
iblank2apples & R3CTIFIER – Phoenix (Chang31ing Remix) | Complextro / Hard Dance
Chang31ing returns with an unexpected remix of the Complextro song done by iblank2apples and R3CTIFIER for P@D:Guardians – Phoenix.
This remix has some really genre changes, in the first drop we can feel a lot of Hard Dance with Complextro elements part and in the second drop we have some Future with Complextro elements part! I really love how Chang31ing makes the genre changes/mixes in this remix! The form that he manages to adapt the song to his image is my favorite part, we some really nice drums and synths done by him plus samples from the original! The original artists should be proud of it! Chang31ing did an awesome job! Check out the remix!
TPressleyJ – The Dawn of Boi | Trap
Sampling a funny and memey video done by UndreamedPanic, Flittzy and GROskAr about a love story between NeverLastStanding and Ponies At (What in tarnation, this is really weird and funnie), TPressleyJ delivers a mechanical and wild Trap track with a lot of classic Trap elements such the Lex Lugers up and the hey, hey hey with big 808’s and really trippy drops! TPressleyJ surprised me with this track, finally I could dance to a meme track!? (I don’t know, TPressleyJ did really a remix of a P@D meme xD). So yes, The Dawn of Boi, good drops, good sampling work, good synths and drum work. Wild, aggressive and mechanical feelings that this track gave me. Just listen to it, first listen to the story and then listen to the remix for better understanding of context and memes. Just listen!
[P@D] Homage – Free (feat. FritzyBeat) | Electro Pop
With inspiration from Wooden Toaster’s music, Homage and FritzyBeat have put something short and sweet together that definitely reflects Toaster’s style. The bassline is bright and clean cut, and it pairs well with the upper register elements. The chord progression is simple, but it also is interestingly well-put together in context, especially with the vocals, which sound exactly like how Wooden Toaster made his, which is a job well done on Homage and Fritzy’s part. But here’s a final question: are the lyrics referring to Sweetie Bot? The world may never know.
Check it out on P@D’s “Guardians” here!
D3LTA – Flying Above The Clouds | Melodic Dubstep
Inspired by the Flutterchops in Omnipony’s Clouds (which VIP happens to be my favorite pony track ever), D3LTA created a melodic masterpiece brimming with nostalgia and delivering powerful emotion. The divine beauty of the Flutterchops and what they evoke, the very emotion-inducing soft melodies fitting for Fluttershy’s character, and the progression of the track are all composing a very emotional piece conveying so much kindness, and reminiscing of so many pony feelings. Through the celestial drops, the succession of kind melodies, and Fluttershy’s moving vocals, feel the magic of music and Passion!

Start of MC-Arch’s writeup
I can tell you honestly, me and Makenshi have so much enjoyment from this Track. It brings back so many happy memories and remind us of why we love what we do. and man, Honestly, I just love the way Fluttershy sings those notes. It reminds me of the happiness and wonders in Live and each time I feel relieved / hope when I hear them. I’m so proud and Happy. Together with the very nostalgic and peacefull tune that is played here its the perfect mix.

Crusad3r – Pegasi Air Raid | Drum & Bass
Crusad3r brings us this wonderful high energy drum and bass track. Beginning with sirens and air raid warnings, the dark atmosphere leads us to a frantic run for cover to escape the air raid that is happening. Excellent bass design and the great atmosphere really bring this track together, and you can definitely feel the panic involved with the theme of this song.
Hay Tea & Sky Runner – Compass for a Lost Dreamer | Drum & Bass
Hay Tea and Sky Runner come together once again to bring us this awesome collaboration based on the fan fiction Compass for a Lost Dreamer. The intro brings us this lovely atmosphere created by reversed piano samples and vinyl crackle. Hay Tea and Sky Runner’s amazingly smooth percussion is accompanied by synths and plucks that float over a wonderful driving bass line. This smooth and lovely track is exactly what you expect when these two names get together!
