[Ragnarok] Einarx – Ragnarok (feat.かぼちゃ) | Dubstep
Ragnarok has really come! Einarx thought very big this time and enlisted the help of Visual-kei songwriter and singer かぼちゃ (Pumpkin) who did an incredible job at empowering this mad Dubstep banger with crazy vocals that got that distinct Japanese musical influence that you can find in genres such as Visual-kei and J-Rock. Depicting a battle between Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, this tune is the rightful opener and title track of the Ragnarok Vol.1 compilation album, and delights as a much powerful release from Einarx.
Tripon – P Skanka | Techstep
The basslines and the drums of Tripon are back in an amazing 7 minute neurotic and kickass Neurofunk track!
The neuro basslines are really well performed, the synth work and the drum work is also really satisfactory and amazing! Tripon is definitely one of the kings of Pony Neurofunk! The breakdowns and the transitions to the amazing neurotic bassline are really well done.
P Skanka – a song that really impressed me with the end, when the drum started to slow and from a Drum and Bass beat it transforms into a Hip Hop beat. It’s really amazing!
[Ragnarok] AJ Young – Battalion | Dubstep
Let us herald the advent of Ragnarok! As a fiery battle between Nightmare Moon and Celestia ensues along the progression of the track, an equally intense onslaught of mad wubs unfolds, courtesy of AJ Young who definitely did amazing on his track off the newly released Ragnarok Vol.1 compilation album from Magnus Records. The whole progression of the track is very epic and the first part in particular feels like a buildup leading up to the heat of the battle during the drop! More details on the story of this track in the description of this exclusive Cider Party feature!
[HMC] Nevermourn – Azure | Future Garage
Melodic and emotional Flutterchops are back in full force with Nevermourn’s amazing tune from the new Horse Music Central Volume 4 compilation album! Going for a trippy, enthralling, enchanting Future Garage instrumental, it delivers the power of pony passion as the mighty Flutterchops are making pony feelings and memories surface. The incredible sound design that this track displays is also contributing to make it the absolute masterpiece that it is!
Also find below an additional review from resident writer JustAnotherPonyGuy!
Start of JustAnotherPonyGuy’s writeup
Nevermourn tries out a most peculiar and intriguing blend of genres in Azure, his submission to HMC volume 4! I really adore the Fluttershy vocals, from So Many Wonders. Nevermourn puts some wonderful pitch-shifting on them in a very novel composition.

Silva Hound – Taco Tuesday (feat. Brittney Ackerman) (Silver Fenix Remix) | Big Room
Silver Fenix wasn’t afraid to take on a song from the famous Silva Hound, and he did wonders with this Big Room remix of the tune that dropped moments before BronyCon! Probably Silver’s most refined piece yet, it delivers a crazy party spirit along the iconic sample from Sonata Dusk. A fire remix indeed!
[HMC] Viricide Filly – Eleanor’s Ocean | Indie Dance / House
Viricide’s music is not only quite unique and experimenting in unseen directions, it is also imbued with deep meanings as the amazing album Back From Reality has shown, and this song from the newest Horse Music Central compilation album continues the story of Eleanor (Viricide Filly’s meaningful OC) while pertaining to the theme and cover art of the album in some way, which is quite delectable. Showcasing that now almost signature take on vocals, the track also explores new sounds over a House body that is definitely unlike any other.
SeyN AQ – Spark | Progressive House
Showcasing an uplifting Prog House style and blessed by Flutterchops, this track from SeyN AQ’s PbN Project EP is making that gorgeous artwork by Atlas-66 Spark with magical sounds and happy vibes. Forever emotional, the Flutterchops here conducted in quite a refreshing way are doing a great job at completing the progressive instrumental full of many wonders.
[HMC] Totalspark – The Advent of Midnight | Cinematic Dubstep
Totalspark’s tune off the recent Horse Music Central Volume 4 compilation album is a cinematic-oriented track progressing into EDM elements and that makes it quite the unique hybrid track. An epic and heavy song definitely fitting that artwork of Nightmare Moon by TurnipBerry, it also displays beautiful melodies that are in the vein of Totalspark’s streak of emotional Night tracks.
Crystal Slave – Falter (Flittzy Remix/Cover) | Alternative Pop
Heartfelt music is the best, and here our beloved Flittzy delivers a meaningful cover/remix of a meaningful song to him, and that definitely adds another layer of appreciation to the reborn Falter. Taking on one of the most unique singers that the community has seen, Crystal Slave aka ReuelBrony (who has unfortunately deleted his whole channel), is no easy feat, yet the power of emotion and the strong feelings that Flittzy nurtured for the original certainly played a part in resulting in wonderful new vocals from the composer and singer who also gave a new arrangement to the song that, like many of Crystal Slave’s original works, has very deep lyrics and relatable messages for those who shared the same kind of experiences.
