Red Dwarf fans, rejoice! Admittedly, I’ve never seen Red Dward so I didn’t get the joke, but still, it’s a deliberately fun little song that may or may not bring trigger memories of cheap amusement parks…

Daniel Ingram – At The Gala (RoyalPony Remix) | Hardstyle
Not long after their recent Christmasy song, Royalpony is back again with a remix of At The Gala in celebration of the new year. Expect his usual style, go check it out if you like to kickstart your day with an 00nt5.
[P@D] DJT & ExplodingPonyToast – Sugar Shy | Indie Dance
[inb4 I get flak for putting earlier songs on hold to talk about this]
It’s that time again. The upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Amity, is due to be released next Friday 13th January. And so we’re having some special pre-releases on Cider Party to give you an idea of some of the stuff on the album. This installment is a much more collaborative work – every track on Amity is either a collaboration or a remix (hence the name) – and to show that we’ve got DJT and EPT’s track Sugar Shy. While none of us can agree on the genre, we agree that it’s a great track, and the art is fitting and super cute.
We’ll have more info on pre-ordering the album and the livestream party in a couple of days. Keep an eye out for that!
Kadenza – Zen (EM120X Remix) | Hands-Up
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 January 2017.
Kadenza’s most recent pony hit Zen was an awesome fusion of his signature melodic style with orchestral elements, but here EM120X has turned it into an unashamedly dance-y banger. With a strong bassline and nice lead synths, this is a groovy remix and it only gets better towards the end where there’s an awesome change up and a vocal melody joins in to add some extra joy.
Daniel Ingram – You’ll Play Your Part (NeverLastStanding Remix) | Electro House
NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 3 January 2017.
Another pretty awesome electro house track here! Here we have an upbeat remix of You’ll Play Your Part from NeverLastStanding, featuring his trademark electro synths and some cool distorted plucks in the intro. It’s a pretty strong remix of one of my favourite tracks from the show.
bank pain – Tea Leaves | Drum & Bass | Equicity returns!
You’d be forgiven if you’ve not heard of Equicity – over 2 years ago after publishing 9 songs, the promotion channel closed its doors, its owners heading down slightly different paths in the fandom. But with a recent growth in the quality and quantity of drum & bass producers making a name for themselves in the fandom, it has been reborn under new management.
And to kickstart the return of the channel, Equicity presents Tea Leaves by bank pain. Although perhaps better known for some of his hard-hitting tracks, bank pain takes on the liquid flavour of dnb here, with crisp and clean yet perfectly flowing drum loops and smooth basses.
FWLR – Good Intentions | Electro House
What’s this? A new challenger appears? Whether or FWLR is gonna stick around the brony music scene at all, as hackd said on the above Cider Party video, “any artist who’s got the guts and humor to throw in some pony vocals onto a track is going to be pretty rad“. And besides, this song is just as good as many of the other top-notch tracks we see round these parts, so I happily welcome Good Intentions with open arms. Great job FWLR, hope to see you around in the future!
Wind Wolf – The Canyon | Orchestral
NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 1 January 2017.
Now for a new track from Wind Wolf which has a strong western influence to it, brought out magnificently by the instrumental and tonal choices. This is another piece from the soundtrack to Adventure of The Lunarbolts. Make sure to check it out for your orchestral fix!
Pony Music – Times | Drum & Bass
NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 2 January 2017.
This dnb crew have been on fire recently, and the tunes just don’t stop coming! Liquid drum & bass is a lot more chilled out, and so it makes sense to pair it with some Fluttershy vocals, which Pony Music has done to great effect.
Ponysphere & Reverbrony – Echoes | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 3 January 2016.
Two of the best in the metal scene, Reverbrony and Ponysphere have teamed up to produce a heavy and powerful tune about AJ called Echoes. They’ve each uploaded a different master version on their respective channels for this one. The first, Reverbrony’s version, is an instrumental that puts a lot more oomph into the instrumental, whilst Ponysphere’s includes some pretty awesome hardcore vocals from him.
