Hay Tea – Defect (Trixent Remix) | Drum & Bass

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 February 2017.

Trixent’s been one of my recent favourites in the drum & bass scene, so it’s cool to see him take his shot at remixing a track from Hay Tea, one of the others who has been doing great recently. With some great use of the samples from the original to help build an atmosphere, it then builds into some great gritty rolling bass design, with some cool fills and piano to help complement it. Check it out for some smooth dark vibes!

Midnight Musician – Cider Party (MrMehster Remix) | Electro House

Rejoice party ponies, because MrMehster treats us with an amazing remix of the memorable recent Cider Party held at Midnight Musician’s! Restarting the party all over again, and this time with a banging Electro House spin, the remix creates much party spirit with a lively instrumental delightfully reminding of the Party With Pinkie days, while also showcasing the vocals from the original track with much style and panache. A perfect remix and party anthem to play during many crazy nights! This one’s on me, my ponies! (Pinkie voice) Also, I’m writing this as I have my coffee in an official Cider Party mug, I think this is the best mug I could have for this!

Nymira – Because Of You (Lorris Remix) | Synthwave

It’s awesome that Nymira is getting a remix from another pony musician, and Lorris certainly did a wonderful job! With an instrumental that is chill and energetic at the same time, the remix takes us through a blissful journey through sound as Lorris’ much enjoyable musical style shines once again to bring the original track Because Of You in a new light.

Hay Tea – Alternate History (Progressive Element Remix) | Liquid Drum & Bass

Hay Tea‘s amazing Drum & Bass is certainly providing much inspiration to remix, and here we are getting Progressive Element’s take on the excellent Alternate History. Giving the track a brand new spin, this delightful remix makes awesome use of distortions to instill even more unique-ness. A perfect remix that sublimates the original while bringing a distinct new mood and many wonders over a strong progression!

UndreamedPanic – Cold (Sonic Rainboom Remix) | Psytrance

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 21 February 2017.

A slow and dark tune, Sonic Rainboom’s psytrance remix of Panic‘s pretty heavy electro track Cold builds through the track terrifically and makes awesome use of the melody from the original. I especially enjoy the care taken with all the auxiliary sounds unitised throughout the piece that add a lot of depth.

MrMehster – New Wave (feat. N. Hollow) (Prey Remix) | Trap

Prey has been consistently releasing awesome solo music for a while, and we are now delighted to welcome the musician’s take on New Wave from the fire duo of MrMehster and N. Hollow! Mostly instrumental, this bouncy Trap remix made with love displays Prey’s talent and musical style producing underground sick beats. Definitely a collector remix!

iblank2apples – I’ve Been Dreaming of Sunshine and Celery Stalks (bank pain Remix) | Drum & Bass

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 20 February 2017.

iblank2apples’ original piece is one of my all time favourite pony music tracks, so whenever I see a remix of it, it always excites me. This is my personal favourite remix of it, as it takes and builds upon the emotions initially present with some beautiful sampling, not to mention awesome percussion and bass design that helps to augment the melodic nature of the original. Most of the neurofunk-style drum & bass in the fandom is pretty dark and edgy but this piece is decidedly upbeat, and pulls off the desired atmosphere wonderfully.

Jyc Row & Francis Vace feat. IbeCo – Celestial Berserkers (Dr. R4MS Remix) | Bounce

It’s not often that you hear melbourne in the fandom, and it’s really done well in Dr. R4MS’ remix of Celestial Berserkers! The use of the guitar from the original is perfect & has elements from the original, while creating a new feel on its own. The progression of the whole remix is stellar & the percussion that shines in the second drop gives it more richness that makes the song as a whole sound really clean. A wonderful remix done by Dr. R4MS!

Phoxi & R3ctifier – Overwrite_Deity (Chang31ing Remix) | Electro

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 February 2017.

Chang31ing has whipped up a remix of Phoxi and R3CTIFIER’s recent piece. Whilst the original was about as heavy as it gets, this remix is a lot more pared back with a focus on deep rolling bass design. It still retains some of the ambient sounds present originally, which definitely provides a nice callback.
