Remix
Morgsch – Let The Sun Rise (Neighsayer Remix) | Chillout / Lounge
Here’s one if you’re in the mood for super chill stuff. Neighsayer has appeared plenty of times on previous P@D albums with fantastic live instrument production from jazz to blues and alt rock which my ears just melt into. Now they bring something even more smooth and mellow than usual with this remix of Mogsch and Itchigotchi’s Let The Sun Rise (albeit minus the vocals).
ExplodingPonyToast, LutariFan & ThatMusicBrony – Start Again (Suskii Remix) | Dubstep
For all of you Awakening fans and reminiscent of the iconic Start Again, here’s yet another token of its timeless excellence and remix-appeal as Suskii turns the track in a completely new direction. It is bringing all the heavy Dubstep wubs while keeping part of that certain emotion that is singular to the original, creating a brand new emotional piece of many wonders, and ready to set any party on fire.
Vylet – Little Dreams (Homage Remix) | Electronic
Clearly the SPW hype hasn’t worn off for Homage, as he’s recently released this nice little remix of Little Dreams. The trap and future influence in the sound design here, and some unique vocal processing and chopping stand out in particular for me on this track.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
[P@D] ExplodingPonyToast – Skywards (Reverbrony Remix) | Metal
For those of you who have been following the P@D albums for a while now, EPT’s song Skywards might ring a bell. Well now we now have a metal remix (something I only seems to see on compilation albums) of it from Reverbrony. It keeps up the tempo of the original while bringing a whole new soundscape to which the chords and melodies are added.
[P@D] Phoxi – Starlight Ataraxia (Lovestruck Brony Remix) | Electronic
TBH I have no idea what genre this is because Lovestruck did such a good job of blending a bunch of different styles together, but namely dubstep and a kind of garage/breakbeat type part. And it’s not afraid to suddenly switch things up between the 2 styles. If you havent’ heard it already, I can almost guarantee the drop will take you by surprise.
[P@D] Pony Music & ThatMusicBrony – Equestrian Territory (lia;quo Remix) | Complextro
lia;quo’s become a regular on recent P@D albums, and of course made an appearance on this installment with her usual complextro sound in this remix of Equestrian Territory, originally by Pony Music and ThatMusicBrony. And interestingly enough, it features live performances on various instruments including Taiko Drums, violin, and glockenspiels!
[P@D] PegasYs – Wasteland (DJT Remix) | Neurofunk
NB: This was originally posted on Equicity on 13 January 2017.
As a long time producer in the fandom, DJT has made a name for himself: a name that carries the sweet connotation of exceptional melodies, vocal chops and cute vibes. Forget all this, as this tune is a wholly different kind of beast.
Inspired by the intricate neurobass architecture of the original track, DJT speeds up the experience to drum & bass tempo and provides a steady pluck bassline to bring in hard jump-up vibes, all this while retaining PegasYs’ artful rhodes chords. Plentiful use of silences, reverb and foley creates an immersive atmosphere that beautifully captures the eerie allure of an apocalyptic landscape.

Daniel Ingram – A Changeling Can Change (JoinedTheHerd Remix) | Electro House
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 January 2017.
Spike’s song from the last season gets some more love with a new remix from JoinedTheHerd! Featuring some pretty great vocal chops, and strong use of the vocals, this is a pretty upbeat remix and uses the main progression in a great way during the ‘drop’ part of the track. Make sure to check it out below if you’re a fan of JTH’s remixes, because this one’s another quality piece to add to the collection!
