Welcome back to some more amazing EDM, everypony! As part of his Remixes Album, Jyc Row got Malachi Mott to remix a song that I bet a bunch of you didn’t have on your radar anymore! Let’s break down this track to fully appreciate how amazing this remix is:
We start out with a quick guitar that sounds like it’s ushering in an orchestral piece, which is funny considering neither the original nor the GalaCon VIP was orchestral. We venture into EDM territory as IbeConCept’s vocals set in, and an amazing clapping rhythm starts building hype – but sidesteps expectations. As the clapping crescendos, the instrumental goes silent, and a small, harmonic voice of IbeConCept goes absolutely wild with his rapping. Malachi builds on the rapping and morphs it into a vocal build up that shoots us straight into a nice big room drop. You can tell that he put a lot of effort into the drop with the evil-yet-upbeat melody carrying us straight into EDM heaven! A simpler instrumental plays, allowing the vocals to once again shine. The final drop has a fuller sound that makes you miss it when it’s over!

SmD House – All Bad Back | Tropical House
SmD is back with another charming and relaxed piece! Filled to the brim with crystal clear chimes and a crisp driving force, ‘All Bad Back’ brings endearing tropical vibes to a very progressive and deceptively complex arrangement. Of which I’ve had to go back and listen to more then a couple times, just to appreciate the subtle nuances that I may have missed on the first go around! This one will take you on a journey, guaranteed.
mikuma – Sad Hors Hours (feat. Mystic Genesis, MC-Arch, Acarcion, Mylo The Kidd & Namii) [Tw3Lv3 Remix] | Casual House
That title is a mouthful! Tw3Lv3 has taken one of the many memorable songs from Ponies At Dawn’s ‘Rebirth’ album and added a more upbeat and four-to-the-floor style to the original lo-fi hip hop track while still retaining that slick and swingy flow provided by all of the associated vocalists involved. A fresh coat of paint with a crunchy bass and a laid back yet energetic vibe. This one is a great one!
PHES – Somepony To Cry With | French House
PHES’ focus on french house often results in some exceptionally groovy tunes, and this piece is no exeption. Featuring a combination of pony vocal chops from Equestria Girls and sampling from The Rah Band’s Tears and Rain, there’s a mellow atmosphere throughout the track that’s perfect for getting into a good vibe with.
JoinedTheHerd – Patience | Melodic House
JTH us back with another masterpiece! It’s been awhile huh? Well worth the wait as we are gifted with a lusciously rich soundscape with a driving yet mellow rhythm behind it with a myriad of great Pinkie vocal chops and a wonderful switch up to wrap everything up! If you’ve been waiting like I have, your patience will be rewarded with this one!
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) [PSFMer Remix] | Jungle Terror
There have been a lot of remixes of loopyy and Koa’s siren-focused track courtesy of the remix competition they hosted recently, with all sorts of different interpretations of the original. Here PSFMer has done away entirely with the more melodic vocal parts and used the rap sections to create a killer jungle vibe driven by rhythmic percussion and chopped up brass sounds. It’s got a pretty fun SFM animation of Sonata Dusk to go along with it too!
Daniel Ingram – Hush Now Quiet Now (Japkozjad Remix) | House
If there ever was a most appropriate genre for a remix of Hush Now Quiet Now, this might be it! Japkozjad’s take on the season 1 song strikes a pleasant balance between uplifting and relaxing, going for that downtempo house vibe that you can really party soft to. Check out this melodic, bouncy remix whether you’re chilling out or just getting the party started!
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) (SYLVVER Remix) | Big Room House
Back again with another sick remix of this bangin’ tune, this time from up-and-comer SYLVVER! Her massive leads and huge kicks bring a festival sound to the lineup, sure to get everyone on their feet! Get ready to jump, because these Big Room Bangers are here to stay!
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) (FORSAKE Remix) | Progressive House
After the original track started off P@D: Oceansong with a bang, it was super exciting to hear that there were plans for a remix competition! The winners have already been announced with this total bop being named runner-up! With massive chord stacks and feel-good drops, this beast of a tune showcases the best FORSAKE has to offer (and there’s even more to come!) Keep your eyes peeled on loophoof’s Twitter to catch the full Remix EP when it drops!
Violin Melody – Sisters (Original Mix) | Future House
In light of the many fandom tracks conveying Celestia and Luna as rivals, it is refreshing to see Violin Melody presenting them as loving siblings in her appropriately titled piece, “Sisters”. This is exactly the kind of subject matter one could expect Violin Melody, founder of ASOS, to focus on, and she does so with this lovely composition. The melodies are powerful yet sweet, with these gentle chimes mixed in – like them being there for each other. The drops show a bit of mystical energy and power, just like alicorn magic. The beat has its ups and downs, just like any siblings have with each other. These elements tell the love and closeness these two share: a sisterly love that is strong through thick and thin. This track is a pure banger, just like when it’s go time between them! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
