BlueBrony teamed up with PegasYs to create this tasty experience reviving the Ragtime genre in a brand new electronic format, reminding of Electro Swing! PegasYs imagined the track to be about Bon Bon, while BlueBrony did amazing with these pony visuals that fit the music so well! A much creative and groovy piece overall!
Swing
Arabesque Sympony – Jolly Ol Saint Nick (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Big Band
Arabesque Sympony shows off his clever musical skills in this track covering Spike’s feature from the MLP Holiday Album. The jazzy, swingin’ piece is recomposed brilliantly, allowing the bright brass tones to shine through, but not so much that it distracts from Sympony’s wonderful vocals. He even subtly adds Spike’s original vocals in at the end as a great accent to the track!
Rusty Thorsell – Courage (Hope and Chances) | Pop / Swing
Rusty is always good for something unique that only he could make and Courage fits that description perfectly. It is fun to bounce back and forth with this track while the piano sets much of the rhythm. Rusty accomplishes a nice, contrasting feel with the vocal work: singing in an upbeat tone to concepts of sad nostalgia mixed with optimism for hope and chances of the future. The latter portion of the song features a surprising and well-placed choir drop that doubles down on the energy of the track to round out the end of the song with a fun send-off.
Daniel Ingram – Pinkie’s Present (Vinny Schway Remix) | Electro Swing
We don’t often get pony Electro Swing and this time Vinny Schway got us covered, with a tasteful remix of Pinkie’s Present from S06E08 A Hearth’s Warming Tail! Pinkie is leading the way around town and all the happiness around with her vocals, as punchy beats and jazzy piano are paving the road to a heart-warming time with the ponies.
Rusty – Imposter Syndrome | Electro Swing
Rusty is at it again! This song tells us about his realization of developing what is known as “Imposter Syndrome”; which is where you feel that anything good in your life, whether it be your actions or things you just find good in general, are all due to manipulation, luck, or someone else’s work. Rusty does a great job at telling this tale with infectious and emotional vocal work, that I don’t hear very often and there are plenty of developments through out to keep you coming back for more. Electro Swing is hard to do right. The melody and groove in this gives off such a great vibe and the creative ways that Rusty went about producing this, is just incredible! You do not want to pass this one up!
[ASOS] GhostXb – Sugar Rush | Electro Swing
Short yet sweet like candy, this is GhostXb’s take at Electro Swing as part of A State of Sugar Candy, aptly themed around Pinkie Pie. It’s true that she’s the perfect pony for the genre, not just by reminiscence of such community classics as Gypsy Bard, but also because the uplifting and rich flavor of the genre is reflecting Pinkie’s personality. Through the groovy rythm, and the many instruments enacting their energetic melodies, this track is playing an ode to life, sweet things, and Pinkie’s perspective!
BlueBrony – Roomies | Electro Swing
We don’t often get Electro Swing in the community, and it’s such a shame considering the bliss of the genre! BlueBrony got us covered though, and here’s one elegant and cool piece delivering the musician’s take on the genre with all the jazzy instruments and melodies! Imagining that this could be the result of Vinyl and Octavia’s combined efforts and passion, feels awesome too!
TheMusicReborn ft. Foxy Lee – Button’s Mom (covering P1K) | Jazz
I…wasn’t quite expecting this to pop up on my radar! TheMusicReborn decided to take P1K’s classic in a very different style from both the original and really anything else we see on a regular basis. It may or may not be your kind of thing, but definitely worth giving a shot for a fun little tongue-in-cheek cover.
Hearth’s Warming Music Compilation! + HMC Vol. 2 and CHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRISTMAS

The Wasteland Wailers – Dare Master | Swing
Time for your fix of swing…or jazz…I’m not very good with these particular subgenres. But let’s forget the pedantry, because the Wasteland Wailers have a new song out! Even if you don’t follow the Fallout: Equestria universe and fanfictions, you can still appreciate this wonderful song made up by brony musicians from all around the world.
