Originally made for the ‘Izzy Pop remix competition’ hosted by GLIMM and Khaliber; Dijit delivers with a heavy hitting remix that absolutely nails the midtempo nit and grit! Drawn out drones and crisp, glitched one shots adorn this track and accompany the vocal flow in a rather tasty way. Add the nice sprinkling of fast paced breakbeats in the breakdown and you’ve got good fun all around with this one!

JayB – I Love Everything (Toby Macarony Remix) | Glitch Hop / Chiptune
Toby is back at it again! Their signature unique style is on display once again with a crunchy and powerfully melodic remix of another fandom classic! The entire song is vibrantly saturated with 8-bit blips and beeps with a catchy break beat groove and some screaming high and rich chords. Add in the nostalgia trip the iconic flutter vocals bring and Toby’s finesse and you’ve got a really great time ahead!
Ponytronic – Times Like These (VIP Mix) | Drum & Bass
Its been five years since ‘Times Like These’ initially released with the Missed Hearts EP. There’s a notable change in tone from the original with a heavier weight in the emotion. This time around it feels more melancholic with airy and longing vocal chops. There’s a great feeling of nostalgia in this one for me and its always nice to celebrate a key breakout track by revisiting it! All-in-all it’s good tension, and good fun.
BeatSpark – Eventide | Lo-Fi Hip Hop
Melancholic piano? Check. Filtered drums? Check. MLP samples? Check! Jokes aside, we have a short but bittersweet song here from BeatSpark that takes inspiration from a poignant moment in the MLP movie. Take a listen for some downtempo music that gives that rainy day kind of feel…and may be suitable to relax/study to…
Sound Bandit – The Ride (TCB Remix) | Trap / Future Bass
Sitting somewhere between genres that I can’t quite classify, we have a new remix from TCB! This take on a track from Sound Bandit’s recent debut album keeps some of the hyperpop flavor of the original but showcases TCB’s signature hard-hitting, ultramodern production style. Check it out for a short but sweet fusion of bouncy bass sounds.
Artattack – Still Shy VIP (feat. Metajoker) [Assertive Remix VIP] | Happy Hardcore
Assertive was pretty big in the pony music scene back in the day with a number of classic tunes, such as those released as part of Balloon Party’s early albums which I still remember fondly. With many years having passed since then, they’ve now decided to update some of their older pony tracks! There’s definitely an improvement in production quality with this new updated version of their Still Shy VIP, with Metajoker’s wonderful vocals shining through alongside some killer happy hardcore synth design and plenty of the euphoric vibes you’d expect from the genre.
Daniel Ingram – Smile Song (Peasant Jay Remix) | Electro Pop
If you’re a fan of cheerful, bouncy tunes and juicy chords, this remix of “Smile Song” is perfect for you! Peasant Jay proves that fresh takes can still be made on the most classic of pony show songs, fusing a number of styles together with bright synths, jazzy basslines, and even a raucous guitar solo. The combination of Pinkie’s familiar melodies and Jay’s chipper new instrumentation are sure to leave you with a spring in your step – and, naturally, a smile on your face.
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) [Nel Fie Remix] | Electro Pop
The remixes of Pull Over keep coming, with Nel Fie the latest to release theirs. This one gives a big focus to the vocals, with plenty of lovely supporting instrumentation to push a more pop-y feel to the track. Especially enjoyable are the cute little synths that play some very fun melodies, as well as the original art painted by Nel Fie that fits perfectly with the rest of the track!
Childlike Wonder – Slice of Life | Pop
Childlike Wonder’s been on a roll with their MLP-inspired songs! Following on from Sparkle, we now get another fun poppy song, this time picturing some of the little moments that might make up Lyra and Bon Bon’s relationship. Cute music about a cute couple, go take a listen!
PSFMer – The Answer | Chill House
PSFMer’s latest tune is a lovely atmospheric piece about Fluttershy. The track in fact uses generated speech from 15.ai instead of directly sampling audio from the show! On top of that, airy pads create a wide soundscape and layers upon layers of percussion create a hypnotic groove. Take a listen and just…relax…
