Ten previously unreleased tunes composed between 2014-2015 that I've featured in various DJ mixes over the last several years. You can download all of them via the MP3 pack, or if you want more, the complete pack will provide both MP3 and WAV versions of each track as well as some select WIPs that I don't plan to finish plus a bonus DJ mix (from Party2012).
Downloads are linked below, however I also want to call attention to several other tracks I've released over the last year that aren't available on this channel:
King Julien Sound System & sc.Dave! - They Be Like (feat. HACKD) swaffelcore.bandcamp.com/track/they-be-like-feat-hackd
HACKD - The End Is Neigh pinkamenaparty.bandcamp.com/track/the-end-is-neigh
HACKD - Sunshine Like Marmalade youtube.com/watch?v=IjFwHM5TNMY

What is all this?
Basically a collection of tracks that never reached their "finished" state, either because they were only intended to supplement my DJ sets or I lost interest and/or the project files. Most of these are just a single drop, since that's all you really need to DJ with. I've included commentary for each track in the download.
It's all from 2014-2015? Why so late with the upload?
Up until I lost the project files in the summer of 2015, I had planned to include some of these in a formal album release. But after I lost the files and after my disillusionment with the pony DJ scene, I burned out pretty hard for the rest of the year (and turned instead to focus on illustration/animation). And then I spent most all of 2016 with my time being thoroughly occupied by HMH and Cider Party.
So what now?
Looking back, my former approach was pretty simple: make a hardcore tune and throw in funny samples. But around the start of my hiatus in winter 2015, I began to feel the need to radically evolve my style as well as the desire to make what I perceive as more meaningful music. The morality that resides in the heart of MLP:FiM has remained the foundation of my interest in the show for the last six plus years and I want to make songs that reflect and explore those morals and lessons. But that effectively demands that there be lyrics and I'm terrible at writing lyrics. Add in my indecisiveness regarding style and it becomes very easy for me to over-complicate things and continually run into dead ends until I lose interest in a track. I've cooked up and burned through a lot of ideas in the last couple years, but I think what's left is two album concepts that remain viable enough that I might actually finish them. The first is Command Error In Pony which is basically more of what I've been known for in the past and will mostly be former Pinkamena Party submissions (All I Want, The End Is Neigh, etc) plus a couple new tracks in the same nature. The second is Spit Yo Bit! which would feature a small selection of choice crossbreed tracks that I've been stockpiling over the last couple years. The tracks were originally going to be Project Horizon tunes, but I've since lost interest in that and would rather cast them as episode responses. Think like a whole EP of Vendettas. Anyways, it's been a while since I've worked on anything even though I've actually had some free time recently. In the immediate present I need to crack down again on my ongoing job hunt that has haunted me most of this year, but then I have all the time I should need to either throw myself at either finishing one of the EPs or honestly darling 3.
Shouts out if you read any of that haha. As always, keep it radical, and if you want to keep up with me outside of these video uploads, I'm pretty active on twitter. Also I wrote a short fanfic that's been well-received if you want to check that out on my fimfic profile linked below. Cheers.

official sample pack + backstory: http://hackdlife.tumblr.com/post/113373712447/hackds-blood-in-the-water-vocal-sample-pack
Twenty-four hours to produce two tracks. Neither an easy nor stress-less task, but we survived. I went into the challenge with two general prompts: Make an upbeat frenchcore tune sampling a letsplay session I used to have up on this channel of me playing Outlast and some noise trap kind of song.
If I recall I got most of this done in eleven hours and then almost mentally caved when I realized I had to do the whole thing over again with a second track. Raw.
The titlecard art is just a screen from the game, which looks way too intense for how goofy the track is but whatever as much as Id love to draw something silly Id rather focus on other things and just get this uploaded. RIP Spaghetti Steve.

![HACKDs Pony Power Hour BRONY EDM Mix [RotL 2015/PVFM LoE set]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xd0weAhTyg8/mqdefault.jpg "HACKDs Pony Power Hour BRONY EDM Mix [RotL 2015/PVFM LoE set]
Hi friends, heres an hour long mix of some of my favorite brony produced tracks! Featuring both some well-aged classics as well as the fire of our insanely talented underground producers, this rapid-fire, mashup-heavy onslaught spans all the way from moombahton to drum & bass. I originally performed (more or less) the first half of this mix live (on two Kontrol F1s and a midifighter 3d) at RotLCon 2015. After a summer of (I thought) surprisingly (and admittedly depressingly) few convention DJs making an effort to showcase our communitys talented and ever growing body of producers, I cancelled the typical hardcore set I had planned for RotL to instead make an opportunity to let this music be heard. When requested to provide an hour long mix for PonyvilleFMs Legends of Equestria open server mixathon, I took the opportunity to build on my rotl mix and came up with this as the end product.
I think the biggest reason that I didnt hear as much brony produced music last year as I was hoping for is that for a long time, there hasnt been an effective means of keeping up with the quality content. Sites such as EQD are completely arbitrary and unorganized with their presentation and archives of music which makes them terribly inefficient for trying to discover new gems. However, there are a lot of us that have been very hard at work at constructing solutions to this problem. And I think that the results of those endeavors are brightly represented in the following four entities!
1.
Ponies at Dawn: a series of albums that have recently evolved into the most significant exhibition of musical talent in the fandom. These super compilations provide an easy way to acquire large amounts of awesome brony music, and ALL of the money that you donate goes TO THE ARTISTS. A lot of the music featured in this set comes from them so if you want more check them out, and if you can toss them a dollar or two, youll get notified every time theres a new release to check out ;D

2.
Horse Music Herald: founded a couple months ago by a team determined to see our music scene thrive like it never has before, HMH finally gives you the opportunity to sensibly follow all the best music that is currently being produced every day. On the main site, you can search for music by genre, as all of the uploads (which are the product of monitoring and choosing the best from THE ENTIRETY of the musician community without bias) are sensibly tagged. We also have twitter and tumblr mirrors so you dont even have to go out of your way to stay informed!

3.
Cider Party: a promotional channel that spotlights the best of brony edm, as it comes out, without bias. Before this channel existed I had no idea how many incredible musicians there were. Go subscribe if you arent already and you wont be disappointed. In addition to a direct supply of high quality edm, in the future I think theres a strong chance that well see it evolve into an active netlabel that could consistently supply high quality albums with each focusing on a cohesive style allowing fans to quickly discover musicians specific to their interests.

4.
PonyvilleFM: the oldest brony radio in the fandom, PVFM remains an excellent opportunity to explore the music of the fandom. Through their social networks, fans can reach out to DJs and express their interests. Looking for more of a certain style or genre? Ask the DJs if they can find it for you- and in turn- if you happen to uncover any cool new tunes, be sure to send it their way!

Many people have volunteered to invest themselves in these various commitments to provide all of you the opportunity to enjoy something truly unique. By supporting these initiatives, ultimately you are helping us help you!
