Strach’s taken a classic tune and given it a new coat of paint with a VIP of Button Smash. It’s full of powerful wubs, and a nice glitch hop-y vibe to it all as well.
Glitch-Hop / Midtempo
Daniel Ingram – One Small Thing (JoinedTheHerd Remix) | Electro
JoinedTheHerd’s newest song is a remix of one of the songs from the MLP Movie! He takes the already upbeat lyrics and adds a bouncy, uplifting beat. Pinkie and Skystar’s vocals carry that special exuberance they did in the movie itself, and herein they’re accentuated by the glorious melodies. JTH never disappoints, and this is no exception!
[P@D] RKDM – Perspective | Glitch Hop
Another great contribution to the most recent Ponies at Dawn compilation album, RKDM brings us this unique, bumpin’ track. The song begins with a great chiptune intro that builds into a mighty glitch hop piece. Perspective is a testament to how well chops can be used! The Fluttershy snippets sing along with the track and add an incredible melody as an additional layer to the song. RKDM changes up the different phrases and sprinkles the chiptune back in halfway through to keep the track fun and interesting. Make sure to check out this great standalone addition to a fantastic album.
[P@D] Arturo Höst – Paper Monsters | Electro / IDM

Arturo makes some pretty killer glitch-influenced music, and this track has a whole heap of that, as it delves into intricate and deep soundscapes to confront some nightmares. It’s got some pretty awesome sound design throughout, with just enough melodic content to help drive the craziness.
Crystarium – Brother | Glitch-Hop

After a while since any new music from him, Crystarium returns with some melodic vocal glitch hop-y goodness. It’s one of my favourite genres, and the groove is present throughout the track with some lovely composition complementing plenty of sound design that orients itself around the strong chord progressions.
FruityFusion – Deep Twist | Midtempo / Synthwave
FruityFusion is back with a retro Midtempo track! Taking the listener to the 80’s with that amazing synthesizer work, Fruity also bring modernism with the fast and uplifting beat. Feels like if a female voice was singing on this, would be the perfect mix! This track is really well done, more one to save in the retro files! Good job Fruity!
TuXe S – ULTIMATE PINKIE PIE STYLE | Glitch Hop / Midtempo
TuXe is back and with an inspired Pinkie Pie banger! Drawing influence from early fandom dubstep, ULTIMATE PINKIE PIE STYLE mixes samples of our favorite party pony with a sick beat. Throw in elements of dubstep and a pinch of nostalgia and you’ve got a track you don’t want to miss!
Vylet Pony – Hotstuff (feat. Shift Audio) | Midtempo
Vylet and Shift Audio team up for this Scootaloo-themed song! It’s an interesting twist on glitch hop with a healthy dose of dubstep too, sprinkled with Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash vocals. Vylet says that the song was themed around adult Scootaloo, and it’s very easy to hear the inspiration!
BlueBrony – Namby Pamby (PegasYs Remix) | Glitch-Hop
The original Namby Pamby by BlueBrony was such a treat, with that rapping in the perspective of Pharynx and all the funky-ness, and to our great delight, Glitch-Hop master PegasYs remixed it in his own style! Classy funk and groovy sounds ensue, and always completing BlueBrony’s original vocals and Pharynx repping the hood! Also, if you like the shirt that this rule 63 of Pharynx by Kevinsano is wearing, you can grab one here!
Starlight – Glimmer (Soundnix Remix) | Glitch-Hop
It’s so cool to see some more love not only for our beloved Glimmy, but for the memorable pony band Starlight as well! Soundnix does the honors of remixing Starlight’s Starlight-themed track, and it’s quite stunning! Renewed Starlight vibes and new Glitch-Hop progression inspired by Proctra‘s original instrumental are composing this remix, along the forever gold vocals by PegasYs. I also highly recommend Soundnix’s latest original track, the amazing Love For Ponies!
Also, I just played this remix at tonight’s Cider Party, come join!
