Christmas may have passed already, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep up the holiday spirit! Faulty and Whirly Tail teamed up this season to deliver one heck of a remix of “Jingle Bells” from the official “It’s A Pony Kind Of Christmas” album. It starts out all cute with the sound of a music box, before smashing its way into a high energy banger with a strong kick, snare, and bass matching the frantic nature of the lyrics. It’s accompanied by NekoSnicker’s art depicting the Mane 6 on their distressing sleigh ride, and while it won’t be your relaxing kind of carol, it is sure to bring MAXIMUM HYPE for the occasion.
Remix
The Wilders – Where’d It Go (Pagan Pegasus Remix) | Hardstyle
We don’t get many remixes of “Where’d It Go” and that’s kind of a shame. I’m glad Pagan Pegasus decided to take the already Paramore-esque song and make it a harder hitting dance track. From the infectious beats, to the harder-hitting chorus compared to the original, this is one song that I cannot sit still listening to it.
rawrity – PINKIE (SCR4TCHK4T REMIX) | Future Bass
SCR4TCHK4T released a remix of rawrity’s “Pinkie” this year, and the result is a lovely, upbeat take on the original. It adds bright, optimistic piano along with a thundering bass at the beginning, and a slick house beat in the middle. My favorite addition is an all new verse sung by SCR4TCHK4T about not giving up hope and continuing to search for the narrator’s love that gets paired with some powerful synth stabs and harmonies to make it really hit home. The remix is definitely worth checking out for any fans of the original.
Daniel Ingram – Legend You Are Meant to Be (Sylvver Remix) | Future House
Sylvver has shown his talent of creating fabulous remixes already, but this time he is tackling his first remix from one of the show’s songs with Equestria Girls’ “Legend You Are Meant To Be”. The instruments are introduced slowly piece by piece, familiarising the listener with the ensemble in the build up to the refrain with Sylvver’s softer bouncy style. The song is also slowed down a bit compared to the original, making the vocals more impactful, more inviting to sing along to and giving the whole track more time to unfold its parts. Especially with the tempo adaption this remix will quickly engrain itself into your musical memory, so give it a listen!
Totalspark – Call Your Name VIP ft Synthis and SDreamExplorerS | Liquid Drum & Bass
TotalSpark brings us a remix of his most popular pop song, Call Your Name! While still featuring SDreamExplorerS and Synthis, this update is a more energetic and dynamic version! The particular focus on making the voice clearer and the piano more defined definitely helped give a beloved song an even more appreciated remix! The only thing needed now is to relax as the music gently guides us to enjoy the moment thanks to the path it creates with its lyrics and harmony.
John Kenza & 4everfreebrony – Warm (Trey Husk Remix) | Progressive House
Trey Husk (previously known as FORSAKE) is back with another house remix, this time of John Kenza & 4everfreebrony’s “Warm.” It opens with spacious ambience, highlighting 4everfreebrony’s vocals and trickling in piano chords and strings until it hits the first drop. The second half is simply stunning, with an orchestral section adding tons of warmth to the track before it all comes thundering down in an explosive arrival at the second drop, mixing in the insane guitar solo of the original. Incredible work!
Childlike Wonder feat. GreenyPika – Magic (covering The Living Tombstone) | Midtempo
Childlike Wonder has visited an old song from The Living Tombstone with from all the way back in 2012! Adding a fresh coat of paint and modernizing the mix while still nailing the classic style and feel of the original with the familiar upbeat melody and catchy vocals and an updated refined feel to the plucky synths and rolling basslines. Its quite interesting to bounce between both this cover and the original to see just how its evolved after over a decade. So don’t just give this one a listen I encourage you to go back and listen to the original as well; conveniently linked within the description!
Daniel Ingram – We’re Not Flawless (Vale & Fl0 Remix) | Complextro
Who said just ’cause Gen 5 is in full swing there wont still be loads of love for the Gen 4 bangers? We’re Not Flawless has always been a special track, not just cause it pokes a little fun at us bronies, but also for the message of everyone has their highs and lows. This remix truly is a refreshing new sound for the track and has everything from vocals and vocal chops to upbeat melodies and hard hitting drops, and even a soft piano outro! Definitely give this track a listen and enjoy the fire sounds!
Equinity 06: Expedition | Compilation Album
In case you missed the release party at the end of last month, the compilation collective Equinity released their sixth album. Most of the 42 individual songs on this release are electronic, from house to dubstep to drum & bass, but there is the occasional rock or orchestral piece here and there. The artists featured this time around are also more diverse – some regular names make an appearance but there are also some new faces to add to the Equinity sonic universe.
All proceeds from Equinity’s albums also go to charity. For this album, the team have chosen to donate Hivos, an organization striving to bring gender equality, climate justice and several other important topics to attention especially in lesser developed areas of the world.
Expedition is available to download for any price from Equinity’s Bandcamp.
The Wilders – Show Me Your Pony Moves (Childlike Wonder Remix) | Synthpop
Childlike Wonder’s remix of “Show Me Your Pony Moves” is such a bop! It takes the original mix from Make Your Mark Chapter 4 and adds in an extra groovy bass line. The new snare is clean and crisp and there’s also some really nice whips in the high end. Towards the end, Wonder fills in an additional melodic line, really putting the synth in synth pop. The remix makes great use of the original material, and will have you dancing on your hooves for sure.
