Nowacking is best known as the fandub voice for Vinyl Scratch, but she’s been doing voice work for 5 years and has now moved on to make her channel the home for Dark Swamp. She’s done Vinyl voice overs on a load of tracks from Pony Rock Anthem, Pony Swag III, and any song that sampled Epic Wub Time.

"Today's Top Story; Bears in Business?! Eyewitness reports indicate that a BEAR has taken up residence in a small recording studio right in the heart of our own Nashville, Tennessee. The other studio employees claim she is docile and spends most of the day working on experimental electronic music. A quick run through her discography doesn't show any consistant style. Studio employees say the bear is always experimenting, but has one constant in her love of sampling. Earlier it was confirmed that the bear is the one responsible for the soundtracks to popular pony flash-game maker, futzi01. We will keep you updated as more information comes."

Age: 21

One of the few active brony musician from Mexico. Not that you know, though, since he posts helpful, positive comments on MLR in his second language English (and knows French, Icelandic, and Swedish as well!). He's self-taught musically and quite adept at IDM, post rock, and electronic that combine is guitar and vocals. While his tracks are not as frequent as some artists, they are detailed, complex, polished, and well-received by a growing fan-base that loves his unique sound. One of the great musicians that has followed in the steps of SoGreatAndPowerful, yet having his own unique approach. A wonderful human being too!

Lavender Harmony is one of few professional musicians in the fandom. As she says better than me, "I've been doing music production for over ten years, I have a degree in Music, and I work full time as a composer freelance and for a film production company". She is not constrained by genres and continues to be varied and known for the highest quality sounding tracks. A female brony, EQD pre-listener, and a former MLR mod! She has moved on from ponies but is still an outspoken member of the community and one of the best ears for music production.

"I have been a progressive music composer since 2012. Genres vary from Trance, House, Ambience, Chiptune, Liquid DnB, and even Rave. It all started when I did 2 songs and they both ended up on a game called TrotMania (which I am a major part of). Ever since the release of Trotmania Rhythm is Magic, I wanted to at least give making music a shot for once, and actually, I did enjoy that experience!"

Balloon Party 3 - Academy of Power

""It was the day of presentation. Twilight was standing in front of the class, taking in the serenity amongst the students. She smiled in anticipation, taking in the moment of calm for a moment, then spoke up. "Alright everypony. I hope you have studied well for your presentations. And I hope we’ll be able to do it within 4 hours, as Octavia will need this room for her class by then. Let’s start. Nexaka? Go ahead."

Twilight moved to the back of the class, and readied her pen and paper. Nearly four hours passed, with no interruptions inbetween, and Twilight’s expression kept on switching between worry, amazement, disbelief, and high-pitched enthusiasm. And after the last presentation, she happily trotted back in front of the class. “Thank you, Sound Guy. Alright. Wow, everypony. I have gotta say I am impressed. Never before in my teaching career have I had such good results. All of you should be very proud of yourself!”

Twilight handed her notes, per separate presentation, to the students it belonged to, with good grades on all of them. Her class brimmed with pride, some bumping hoofs, some hugging, cheering words of victory. “I hope all of you took notes as well. May what you’ve learned today help you on your future endeavours. Class dismissed.””


Wow, everyone. Balloon Party revived and back into action like never before! It shows, with this powerhouse of an album, Mindscapes. It shows once again how much talent and diversity our community has to offer.

A BIG thank you to all people who participated, and a BIG thank you to the people of the team. Academy of Power wouldn’t have been what it is without you!

"Maressey is a group project run by Freewave and is a ponified tribute to the music of The Smiths. It's a return to the roots of british indie pop and rock with close to 20 musicians taking part in transforming a multitude classic songs about loneliness, love, depression, sex, and controversial topics into songs about your favorite ponies and our community. Many songs will connect with each other and tell the story of these characters, several shippings, and show off this alt-universe (fimfic style) song by song.  Are ponies lives that different from our own?"
