“Your song is only one genre?”
Welcome to the seventh round of the successful Brony vs Brony Remix War!
As with the previous remix wars, this contest is split into two parts. Part one is creating a remix of another brony’s work. The same rules apply as all previous remix wars. One song only, the original must of been produced by a brony (no show songs), and preferably you should remix something that’s not been done 100 times over (Oh god, no more Rainbow Factory remixes).
Part two will be a collab challenge. The goal is to find another brony musician who typically works in a different genre than you and to create a song that mixes two genres together! For instance, are you a trance producer? Collab with an orchestral producer to make some orchestral trance. Love techno and know someone who produces hardstyle? Techstyle is a thing! Do you like those extreme wubs found in brostep? Well, how would it sound with some smooth jazz!? Okay, maybe that would be weird. But the weirder, the better! Maybe two of you will stumble onto something great! The point is to reach out to someone who works with something completely different and to create something unique. You’ll get to learn more about a genre outside your comfort zone, get some more experience making collabs and, who knows, maybe you’ll learn a little more about friendship (groan).
In addition to the remix war, if you wish to take part in Zorg's intermission song project, you can find the thread here! The previous years were big hits.

-- Streaming Event --
Unlike previous wars where we stream a series of youtube videos, we will be hosting the event on Celestia Radio! Like last year, we plan to break up the even over a series of days starting on September 21st and going on each weekend day starting in the morning. We plan on using IRC for chat purposes still.
Plans may change so be sure to check this topic often.
BRONY REMIX FAQ:
Q: Can I remix Daniel Ingram? Can I remix the show?
A: No. You can only remix another brony remixing the show.
Q: Can I remix a remix?
A: No. If you like a particular remix, remix the original instead. Remixing a remix blurs who did what and can be confusing.
Q: Who can I remix?
A: Anyone in the community! Participants or not. Just not the show directly.
Q: I need help, can I ask the person I’m remixing for audio stems or MIDI?
A: Yes you may, but it will still be up to the original author to share these or not. Usually they do.
Q: Can I remix myself?
A: What? No! Why would you ask that? Friendship! Make some friends!
Q: I write metal, 8-bit or something that isn’t dubstep. Can I still participate?
A: Absolutely! We WANT people to take songs they like and put it in their own style.
Q: Do I have to do both a remix and a collab?
A: Nope! You can do both, or just choose to do one or the other.
Q: Can we collab on a remix?
A: No, a remix generally is done by one person, as it starts to involve too many people with a single song.
Q: Why do I have to register to your forum in order to participate? Can’t I be anonymous?
A: This new process allows you to do everything yourself, including making corrections to your entries. We can even now export all of this information in bulk as HTML code, playlists, etc, so the event will run smoother. Essentially, the entire event is now automated. Also, the forum will make communication and coordination with other brony musicians easy, considering the premise of this event.
Q: What are your standards on track content?
A: We will be filtering for inappropriate content, such as swearing, sexual references, drug references, or entries that have little artistic merit. Please remember that this is about the music, not the lulz. If you are unsure about what is appropriate, please post your question in the event thread.
Q: Will my entry be judged?
A: No, this is just a friendly event designed to both get its participants to develop their production skills as well as meet more musicians in the fandom.
