Skullbuster – Million Miles | Hip-Hop

Skullbuster brings his A-game to the table with this hip-hop/rap piece, “A Million Miles.” The track opens with bouncy, lighter synths interlaced with Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow chops before kicking it into high gear with a swag, saxophone beat and groovy bass line. The lyrics center around the experience of appearing close to others while actually feeling estranged and distant. The verses are fully of witty quips like invisible/criminal and background/smack down, being reflective but also self aware at times. It’s certainly a song to keep closer to you than a “Million Miles.”

And if you liked that, make sure to check out the rest of Skullbuster’s EP on bandcamp!

Odyssey – Batty 2025 | Eurobeat

Are you spooked? It’s not like Odyssey (aka Eurobeat Brony) dropped a revamped version of her Flutterbat song Batty! In this updated version, you’ll find all things you loved about the original—the glorious organ intro, the energetic synths, the cool vocal effects and mixup in the middle, 100% blood sucking lyrics—but you’ll also hear the polished, deep brooding vocals and excellent synth mix which makes everything pop right into place. It’s an excellent track, and a great way to introduce newer fans to the old classics.

Saphire Systrine – Bla Bla Bla Feat. Butter Bolt VA (Covering Gigi D’Agostino) | Italo Dance

Although it’s a song you may not recognize by name, this track stands as a pillar for modern electronic music, and this faithful ponification that was brought to the table by Sapphire Systrine with Butter Bolt VA certainly lives up to its legacy. The duo went as far as to recreate the vocal line used in the original 1999 track, a move that’s nothing short of jaw-dropping. As Sapphire clarifies in the description: “…the voice line is from Stretch – Why Did You Do It (12″ Version)” which is also the very first thing this tribute hit us with. Butter Bolt VA delivers a perfect rendition of Rainbow Dash’s cocky yet unmistakably raspy voice, which is sampled and rearranged with immaculate precision to mirror the original song as closely as possible.
Everything in this track radiates with a true respect and appreciation for the source material, while introducing clever and well placed twists that both enrich and elevate the listening experience. The final result is incredibly bouncy and irresistibly danceable, with just the right mix of elements to make you drop everything and dance alongside Rainbow Dash. Speaking of which, Dashie’s animation was handled by Sapphire using a model provided by the ever-talentful Valiant Studios, once again showcasing mastery over the craft. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Go give it a listen!

[P@D] Voodoo Pup ft. Dangerous Moonlight & Michael Picher – I Wanna Be Professional | Ska

You might be right to think that a ska song about Ms. Harshwhinny and Pacific Glow is a crackpot idea. But what is crazy is that it actually really works! The ’80s-sounding two-tone has a classy vibe, and Pacific Glow (the rave pony from The Saddle Row Review) looking up at Ms. Harshwhinny’s big city business would be at home Broadway performance, i.e. perfect for the Limelight theme of the recent Ponies At Dawn.

If you like Voodoo Pup’s music, go follow him on YouTube, Bandcamp, and Bluesky!

Dustcar – Lap of Honor | Multi-Genre Album

For those not in the know, Dust Car was a discord server created in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. It featured regular competitions where musicians were given a topic and had only 14 days to create a new piece of music based on it, very similar to the toastbeard competition from early fandom history. The server functioned as its own underground music scene—a place where both newcomers and veterans alike could experiment with making music and make friends along the way. The discord peaked in popularity around 2021, but continued operations into 2024. In total, 100 competitions took place and 1,200 tracks were made!

Today marks the one year anniversary of Dust Car – Lap of Honor, the final album put out by the musicians in that community. Keep reading after the break for a run down of all the tracks

SpinScissor – Sundered (feat. The Cupcakes Choir) | Psytrance

Content warning: Gore + Violence.

SpinScissor has teamed up with 10 other artists to deliver an incredibly poignant song inspired by the Cupcakes alternate universe comics by SinfulPie. The track excels at taking a variety of negative emotions like grief, denial, and confusion, and translating them into song. Its lyrics like “you’re terrified it’s true” and “why would you do this to me” capture these emotions perfectly, but the music’s heart-beat like, pulsating trance energy also does the subject matter justice. It’s a haunting track for a haunting narrative, pulled off with expert execution, well done!

[P@D] SP1TF1R3 & Dropper Vampire – Somnum Incantatio | Big Room House/Bounce

Landing on the Ponies at Dawn Limelight album in May, this collaboration between SP1TF1R3 and Dropper Vampire is electrifying to say the least! The track is inspired by the events of S7:E10, A Royal Problem, and it cleverly inserts dialogue from the episode as the track progresses. It makes use of contrasting sections—some feature huge synths with the fiery energy of Daybreaker and intensity of Nightmare Moon, while the others build up to it with the haunting feel of choir-like pads, making a completely riveting journey you won’t want to skip!

Foozogz x RhymeFlow– Everyone But Me (ft. Mei) | Pop

Foozogz shows his snoot every once in a while these days, and he always delivers. On this latest release he tries something new, and combines his punchy electronic melodies with RhymeFlow’s bars. The track is about missing out on a pony convention while all your friends are having a blast, so it’s best to sit back and raise a glass to all the good times past and still to come.

Essential Brony Musicians 05: Derpidety

As far as I know, Derpidety never had a pony OC

Let’s cover another iconic instrumentalist. In contrast to last post’s metal artist, we will now listen to one of the most gentle musicians, Derpidety. He has described his genre as indie rock or post-rock, and his inspirations are Explosions In The Sky, Bloc Party, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and Modest Mouse. I personally feel his guitar play is reminiscent of The Shadows, but that’s just me. Besides guitar, he also plays piano, drums, and bass.

Nyanakaru – Devil’s Food | Pop Punk

Nyanakaru is back with a new project, “DEEP FEAR”, the second part of their previous album, “Methodic Ways To Break a Mind.” Devil’s Food is the first track released from DEEP FEAR, mixing the nostalgic pop-punk of 2011 and heavy metalcore elements, the grim lyrics contrast against the levity of the Nyan Cat-like melodies and bouncing bass throughout much of the song. Nyanakaru also put together a great lyric video to go with the song, so go give it a watch!
