Blog Update!!

Well we hit 25,000 views this week which is wonderful news. You may have noticed that we have a genre section now which should add some better search capabilities to this site. We will continue to play around with that and change it based on your feedback. I also have 3 new staff members who have jumped in to assist in helping run and update this site. A big thank you to Matthew N., LFP, and Emperor Übermensch for coming to my aid when I really needed it several weeks ago.

As always we rely on your submissions and comments to update the site and we will try to begin doing some interviews with some of our favorite brony musicians soon so we can know them even better than we initially did. Stay tuned, give us feedback, and we'll keep updating. Most of all just keep making music and we'll try to spotlight new or overlooked artists as we come across them.  

Knoedels

Youtube

Location: Australia
Age: 21

Not a new artist this time around but with 2 Pinkie themed show remixes ("Cupcakes" and "Giggle at the Ghosties") one that you might not be familiar with. While they did a pretty good with both we haven't seen anything since. So we'll just create a quick little entry to remember their contributions. 


Notable track: Cupcakes (Knoedels Remix)

Location: UK
Age: 17

Another brand new brony musician that is making some fantastic music in such a short time. Their first track came out in the end of May (the downtempo BBBFF), and they've made some more club oriented, amazing vocal heavy show remixes, mostly in a great eurotrance style. The production and samples use is not just spot on, but pretty remarkable, breathing life into old MLP favorites, especially with the great original vocal work additions. We'll stop complimenting him if you promise to visit his site right away.

Notable track: The Perfect Stallion Remix
 

Korw

Soundcloud

Location: Australia
Age: 24

Korw has been on a roll with 3 brony tracks in 3 months, all EqD approved and for good reason (as they are great). He started with a house remix FIM - Twilight Sparkle Stage Theme, followed it with an original orchestral house track "Luna's Moon Dance", and then released the awesome complextro "You Can Run (but you can't hide)". With such an amazing start we can't wait to see what the future holds for this great new artist.

Notable track: You Can Run (but you can't hide)

Derezzie


Location: California
Age: N/A

Another young in terms of experience in music production artist striving for audience, Derezzie could really use some of your ears to provide him with some feedback and to boost his will to produce more pony-themed songs. I'd say so far so good!

Notable track: Crush Kill Destroy SWAG (Derezzie Original Mix)

DijiTwitch (Dijital)


Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Age: 19

DijiTwitch seems to enjoy making a more relaxed style of electronic tracks. Mixed in with some ambient and drum n' bass'y songs, he's got quite a range of abilities and ways to possibly reveal his great, hidden talent. Now go on and give him a listen.

Notable track: Stars

Matthew N.

Youtube

Location: Poland
Age: 23

Quickly known for his submission in the ''Lesser Knowns'' album, ''Becoming Popular (Matthew N. Remix)'', which received multiple tumblr shutouts from famous musicians such as Omnipony, Circuifry etc. A great musician provide some classy club, complextro, and electro bangers. A former member of the BMD staff now, incredibly motivated, and a very impressive new musician.

Emperor Übermensch/Ed Viper


Location: Los Angeles, CA
Age: 18

His favourite genre being UK Step (the British style of dubstep), Emperor Übermensch came with the infamous third wave of brony artists that has hard time getting out there in the open. Despite being a very young producer, he's learning fast and his powerful garage beats may be to your liking. He was forced to leave the community a while back due to personal reasons, but has now returned under the alias "Ed Viper".

Zatslol


Location: UK
Age: 17

"I know that everybody says this but I like to experiment genre wise. The main genres I work around however are jazz, alternative rock, some swing and sometimes funk. Most of my songs also tend to be acoustic because I love the sound of an acoustic guitar.

I started out writing parodies in mid 2011 but have since moved on to writing original songs. I'm a self taught guitarist and bass player and I have collaborated with a few other song writers in the past. I'm always happy to lend vocals to a song!

Notable track: Ponyvillians

Yaplap


Location: N/A
Age: N/A

The Yaplap brothers are the masterminds behind the entire screamo FU*KING series (such as The Perfect FU*KING Stallion and This FU*KING Day Aria). No idea when they will permanently injure their vocal chords, so enjoy and subscribe while they still have their voices.

Warning: playing the video prior to lowering your main volume may cause severe trauma.

Notable Track: Find a FU*KING Pet

X-Trav


Location: Melbourne, USA
Age: N/A

X-Trav has been in the brony community for most of a year, and while they have done a variety of music, a lot of it has been orchestral or purposely for BGM, such as his music for Manestream Media's Audio Fanfics and the music for the "Discordantly" fanfic.

Notable track: The Birth of Chysalis

Age: ?

Surely you MUST know of Friendship is Witchcraft by now, right? Well Jenny Nicholson and Griffin Lewis are the collective known as SherclopPones and do both the series and the great background music to it. Music-wise, they are the most well known for the show theme "Pinkie's Brew", "Gypsy Bard", and "It'll Be Ok".

SandJosieph

Location: USA
Age: 28

Probably most well known for the amazing pseudo-opera Daddy Discord released several months ago, though he also well known for other great instrumental tracks like his whimsical "Pinkie Pied Piper", "Flutterguy", and the spooky "Baked Bads". A prolific artist to say the least, as he has a load of pony videos and tracks for your enjoyment. Make sure to check out the darkwave classic Daddy Discord.


Notable Track: Daddy Discord

NightColt


Gone for about a year now, he was here early on. He did a few epic sing-alongs, a few metal versions (2) of Not A Clever Pony tracks, as well as one original symphonic death metal before departing.


Notable track: NightColt befriends Not A Clever Pony - For Those Who Love The Night

Age: 19

When he's not making real-life musical box covers of pony tracks, he's doing them virtually via solo piano, or more extravagant orchestral versions (on Synthesia and Garageband). As you'll also notice, he's quite a Minecraft fan and does a few tracks via their Minecraft Song Planner and a few more video game covers in 8-bit as well, explaining the 25,000+ subscribers.

Notable track: Winter Wrap Up Piano Suite in B Major 

Hirosashii

Tumblr

Location: Raleigh, USA
Age: 20


Hirosashii makes some great bright electronic pony music that evolves past the original MLP tracks they sample and were based off of. He's had amazing success on his youtube (just hit 1000 as I am writing this) and appears not be slowing down anytime soon. He can bust a move too.

Notable track: Gala Rala

Cyril the Wolf

Youtube

Location: Madrid, NY
Age: 22

Cyril does all things rock (acoustic, funk, and electric) and the occasional bits of metal (power and 80's styles preferred). He didn't have to travel far to make Bronycon this summer, and was hard to miss (entertaining the crowd outside the con via acoustic guitar). He regularly makes podcasts and performs from his home via Youtube.

Notable Track: Nightmare Night (Symphonic Version)














AspectOfTheStorm


Youtube

Location: USA
Age: 17


"I'm a 17 year old Brony with a lot of hobbies. I write programs/3D games, play guitar/violin, and compose music. I also like photography and cinematography. Oh, and I can speak a little Russian." 

What else? Well, he makes great orchestral tracks (original and covers) and can couple that with some excellent live keyboard playing (which he's captured on Youtube).

Notable track: Avast Octavia's Orchestra (Re-Orchestrated)

Raging

Youtube

Location: USA
Age:17

Before Cowbell Party, Raging was leading the charge to get more cowbell in brony music. Clearly his influence has paid off for the community and has been felt far and wide. His mix of hilarious trollcore and more serious works in a variety of electronic styles in his first 2 months are a pretty good start.

Notable track: Fluttershy Loves Cats

Resonantwaves

Age: 20

There's a reason why his Youtube is entitled Ambient Pony Music, it's because that's what he specializes in and does extremely well. Ambient is something lacking in the brony scene, so ResonantWaves really does fit that gap and does an outstanding job with his music. Recommended!

Notable track: Elements in Ruin

Nine months in, Tuner Syphon is plugging away with a load of original pony tracks. He's currently working on several collabs that should becoming out shortly.

Notable tracks: Sapphires


RoyalPony

Youtube
Soundcloud

Location: USA
Age: 27

RoyalPony has been making tracks for nearly a year now, and during that time he's accumulated a large collection of mostly hardstyle pony tracks (including original works and remixes). He is an obvious artist to seek out by those who love that genre and haven't heard him quite yet. He also appears to DJ on the side, so props for that as well.

Notable Tracks: Twilightlicious Remix
