Welcome to the eighth round of MLR's 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 over and over again.
Part two will be a collab challenge. The goal is to find another brony musician who you would like to work with and then create an original song based on a specific location or place in Equestria. This can be based on a town, a landmark, or a region. This song can be any genre, but it should capture some aspect of the place you make the theme for. Both partners can only submit one song.
Songwriters and Audio Engineers may also team up, so long as they both contribute to the creation and quality of the song.
So pick option 1, option 2, or both!

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: My music is <genre name>. Can I particiapate?
A: You can submit music of any genre you like, as long as it's not above 10 minutes and doesn't destroy one's ears.
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: What are your standards on track content?
A: Please do not have swearing or references to drugs/sex.
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.
Q: I am having trouble with the theme! Is there a list of locations I can refer to?
A: Yes, you can find a couple of maps of Equestria here and here.
