Keep it up with your wonderful melodies… It’d be an honour to write for you again. ❤

Ice Angel & KiTSUNE – Colorful (Sylvver & FORSAKE Remix) | Future Bounce
What a beautiful and wholesome remix do we have here of Ice Angel & KiTSUNE’s Colorful. Funnily enough, it’s the perfect way to describe BOTH this extremely joyful tune and its remix. Forsake & Sylvver absolutely NAILED this, with their remix complimenting the cute, happy and lovely sound of the original by Ice and Kit. Ponies are truly a joy, and I am happy to both see & hear that being celebrated throughout this song. Adding colour to the beauty of life – wonderful! Well done all 4 of you! Make sure you check out both the original and this fantastic remix!
Daniel Ingram – Flawless (EveryDayDashie Remix) | Electro House
EveryDayDashie’s high-energy remix of Flawless from Friendship is Magic will have you dancing on your hooves for sure! With its ridiculously catchy synth line between verses, and its vocal chop swell before dropping into the final chorus, there’s plenty to grab your attention. In addition to featuring the Mane 6 vocals on top of a fresh beat, Dashie also blends in Pipp Petal’s “Show me what you got!” from Tell Your Tale’s “It’s The Pony Hip Hop,” delivering this delightful cross-generation remix.
Tw3Lv3 – One Small Thing (feat. Drummershy, Koa & MC-Arch) (Midnight Wave’s 2nd Remix) | House / Drum & Bass
Not content with just one small remix, Midnight Wave has taken another spin on Tw3Lv3’s super collab from 2020. And clearly one genre wasn’t enough either! As it transitions from verse to drop, this remix picks up the pace from a perky house beat and falls into a supercharged drum & bass section. It’s a great use of tempo changes and worth a listen if you typically enjoy either genre!
Brilliant Venture – PleXus | Electronic Album

Continue readingEveryDayDashie – Mane Melody Nightclub | House
EveryDayDashie just keeps pumping out great music and I can’t keep up! This venture into classic ‘nightclub’ style house seems to channel the energy of a certain eurodisco classic with modern sounds and clean production. It’s also his first try at using AI text-to-speech to create vocals, with Pipp encouraging us all to get up on the dancefloor!
Daniel Ingram – Find A Way (SpinScissor Remix) | House
SpinScissor returns with a remix of a G4 classic “Find A Way”. This immediately takes a dark turn from the start with metallic warping textures overlain on an ominous drone. The mix of Twilight’s vocals and the tone of the mix are intriguingly unique and there is always a new element introducing itself to keep things fresh and flowing!
BlackIceMusic & Namii – Memory (Dropper Vampire Remix) | Progressive House
Dropper Vampire’s put their own spin on BlackIceMusic and Namii’s album opener from Ponies at Dawn’s Zenith album and it’s managed to transform the song into something else. They’ve gone for a more melodic approach than the original with very trancey pads and adding in their own synth melodies which create a wonderfully triumphant feel every time it drops!
EveryDayDashie – Pony Dance Party | Hard House
EveryDayDashie’s back at it again with his take on hardstyle with a song that’s bound to make you bounce (EDIT: apparently this style is called “hard house”). Taking inspiration from the official MLP podcast (side note – did you know there’s an official MLP podcast? I didn’t!) this is a great uptempo and fast-paced song to dance your hooves off to. Great melodies and supersaws build up to a drop with a fun triplet feel to make the whole song bounce a little bit more.
