ApostropheShy – Smile | Happy Hardcore

I only see happy hardcore songs every now and again, but it’s always a pleasure when one pops up in my sub feed. This song from ApostropheShy seems to be a little bit more than just a remix, with extensive reworking of the vocals; and the changes in beat pattern allow for a nice variation too.

4everfreebrony – Bound With Time (Synthis Remix) | Drum & Bass

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 2 October 2016.

Start the day with a 4everfreebrony song, end it with a remix of it! This remix from Synthis turns up the tempo and adds some bass to the mix that helps to accentuate some of the good qualities of the original whilst also giving it a distinctly Synthis flair.

Direct Current – Migration EP | Electronic


I do find it rather impressive how Direct Current is able to put out an actual themed EP every couple of months or so. His latest one, Migration, puts the focus on pegasi, which I suppose look like swans when standing in water, so album art kinda fits…right? Regardless, full writeup after the beak break as per usual.

[P@D] GROskAr & NextLevelDerp – Horseing Around | UK Hardcore

ARE YOU READY TO GO HARDCORE? Time for another feature from the upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Voyager, and a track from two excellent producers from the heavier side of the electronic music scene. Combine GROskAr’s affinity for heavy growls and NLD’s experience making hardcore and you get this madness, with an apt title too!

&I ft. Chi-Chi – Into The Green (ThisSideOfOblivion Remix) | Synthpop

We were a bit late picking up on this one, but that’s understandable when it’s someone who’s only recently started publishing music! This remix of the classic Into The Green from ThisSideOfOblivion follows a sort of dark-ish synthpop style and even features some custom vocal chopping – always nice to see people take on that stylistic element.

4everfreebrony – Hoping (DJRedSky Remix/Cover) | Deep House

Based on a cover DJRS himself did of the 4everfreebrony song Hoping from about a year ago, they’ve gone and remixed it using the vocal track from said version. Turns out those vocals sped up to ~120bpm work pretty well with a deep house style beat underneath, with the instruments following a classic 90s house feel – a both chill and blissful rendition of the original.

Daniel Ingram – A Changeling Can Change (Royalpony Remix) | Future Bass

Another tribute to the long-awaited Spike solo song from The Times They Are A Changeling, Royalpony’s remix doesn’t fail to bring back some of that emotion and accompany it with beautiful space-ey melodies and choruses, while not being short on hard-hitting beats and vocal samples at the same time. Truly a magnificent track to end summer!

The Dark Side – Magic | Melodic Dubstep

We didn’t get the chance to see many Melodic Dubstep songs from the community since the Omnipony days, but The Dark Side is here to delight us with a new release that oozes the very magic of that genre that I particularly affectionate. The sensitivity, the melodies, the powerful synths that seem to take us away to a new realm… this song Magic has got it all.
