Music visionary Zizkil treats us with a special track for this spooky month, delivering Vampire Rarity vibes along a sick instrumental of refined scares! An incredible soundscape is laying out sharp beats, moist sounds and carousel-like melodies reminding of Rarity’s character, as the atmosphere overall conveys the spooky-ness of the theme so well. A new Zizkil masterpiece to savor over and over again!
Glitch-Hop / Midtempo
One Track Mind – Crown Cancellation (Helping Twilight Win The Crown Remix) | Glitch-Hop
Another One Track Mind greatness to bring utter bliss to our ears! Hard to put into a genre indeed, this new take on Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)/Helping Twilight Win The Crown is full of the musician’s unique style, blending in several electronic influences into a creative cocktail of sound and vocal chops, for over 4 minutes of tasty heavy bass madness. Sounds like the Fall Formal just got a new princess!
[P@D] PegasYs – Vaporwave Future | Glitch-Hop
One of my personal favorite tunes from Enigma, the “vaporwave” in the title on this song doesn’t necessarily describe its genre, but more its aesthetic, taking cues from the seminal vaporwave record Far Side Virtual. This tune features quite disorienting textures throughout, but it works to its favor, as it never ceases to be intriguing. Familiar chiptunes and reese basses are present here, but also a whole host of other crazy sound design and compositional techniques throughout its movements.
[P@D] NeverLastStanding & PegasYs – Hero | Glitch-Hop
Another Ponies at Dawn Enigma pre-release following Piece Of History, this one is being played at the latest Cider Party right now! Come partake in the bliss of NeverLastStanding and PegasYs‘ united talents, along divine pony vocal chops and a deep concept about Spike’s character depth! More in the description of the video!
One Track Mind – Good ‘ol Days | Glitch-Hop
One Track Mind is on a roll, and just like a certain Brilliant Venture, he decided to show some love to the older style of pony music, with that nostalgic and innocent old-school Glitch-Hop sound! Fittingly calling back to Vinyl and Octavia’s relationship as depicted in the momentous S05E09 Slice of Life, it delivers those sweet vibes and nostalgia along Vinyl-approved wubs, and you can even hear the two ponies in the song! Let’s partake in blissful melodies and memories together…
One Track Mind – All Okay | Glitch-Hop
One Track Mind’s venture into Glitch-Hop is as insane as it gets, with fast wubs, broken beats, and an incredible melodic focus that really makes this piece shine. A progression of many divine wonders, it is another token of the musician’s talent and creativity!
[ASOS] MEQA – Lunar Republic | Glitch Hop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 July 2018.
MEQA is a fairly new face on the scene, and this is their first solo pony tune after featuring on a track a few months ago with Quadrivia. It’s obvious right away that they know exactly what they’re doing though, with this awesome chilled out neuro-style glitch hop tune tribute to Luna – definitely an artist to keep an eye on.
A State of Sugar – Bubblegum | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre

BlueBrony – in between | Chillhop / Liquid Drum & Bass
Time to rejoice, for BlueBrony is back with a new original pony-inspired tune! BlueBrony has some of the most unique and welcomed themes in the pony music scene, and this track is about that part of S08E06 Surf and/or Turf when Terramar is torn between his earthy home and his aquatic home, unable to choose and sitting on that tree branch in mid-air. Delightfully capturing that scene and those feelings in an experimental piece, BlueBrony reflected beautifully the many shades of the moment with distorted leads, an arrangement of fitting sounds representing both the sea and the earth, and an inspired progression that will make you wander in the depths of Terramar’s thoughts! Truly an amazing and very lovely initiative.
Lycan Dese Beats – Beats 4 Everfree | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
Three years ago, after running a successful radio show about brony music for several months, Lycan got a bunch of musicians to pitch in some songs to make a compilation album featuring them. Fast forward to now, and this annual album is now in its 4th edition with the release of Beats 4 Everfree. The primary difference this time round is that the album is dedicated to Everfree Northwest, for which Lycan is the musical coordinator this year, and the funds raised from the album sales will go to EFNW’s chosen charity, the Washington Autism Alliance & Advocacy. 14 tracks from a group of consistently solid musicians and producers take this album through all sorts of genres – electronic to orchestral – so there’s something in here for everyone’s tastes!
Beats 4 Everfree is available to download for any given price from the Lycan Dese Beats Bandcamp.
