JoinedTheHerd has seemingly become like the blockbuster movie franchise in the Brony music community: posts a new song/remix only 2-4 times a year, but when they drop, they are a masterpiece that has everybody talking for months before the next new track is dropped. This time, JTH has remixed a song that a lot of us probably forgot about – The Equestria Girls episode series’ theme song. This remix starts to build up towards its high energy charm that JTH is known for, but takes a surprising and sudden 180 to bring it down again to a sweet and almost atmospheric feeling, only to build itself up towards the high energy yet again. This song is a rollercoaster from beginning to end, of which my hands are up for the entire ride bopping to that infectious beat.

SpinScissor has pulled out all the stops for their first release of 2023! A great drawn out ethereal and soothing opening transitioning and twisting itself with a driving beat and sharp synth arpeggios it nails that Deadmau5 inspiration from yesteryear as well as some inklings of older pony music. The entirety of this large nearly eight minute long track zips by in a flash which is no small feat and the “epilogue” style ending where Thorax is finally accepted adds that satisfying closure, keeping everything tight as a drum!

NeighGative_’s remix of RosePoni Roseluck’s “Princess of the Night” is a adventure full of twists and turns! In its epic, near seven-minute duration, the piece takes us on a journey through a multitude of different sections, each with its own unique sound and character, keeping the listener hooked! At times, it is dark, groovy, and focused with its synths, only to give way to a new section that’s elegant, introspective, and hopeful, backed by gorgeous strings. Then it turns to something energetic and intense, with its synth stabs and wubbing bass. Throughout, you’ll hear the same Luna chops that RosePoni used in the original—they complement the piece so well as the different aspects of Luna’s character match the sections of the track! The piece eventually comes full circle and returns to its original section before closing out with the scratching sounds of a record stop. Overall, it’s breathtaking, so make sure to give this a listen through!
