Take Two

Hi. I'm DusK. If you know me, cool. If not, here's where you can read up a bit on me.

 

On February 26, 2013, I opened Brony Music Spotlight, a blog intended to address a critical problem in the fandom. It's a problem that, unfortunately, remains to this day:

 

There's not a single place on the Internet where brony music gets reviewed objectively, or featured with a consistent standard of quality.

 

My experience during the short time I ran Brony Music Spotlight showed me a lot. Through those lessons, I've decided to make key changes, and I also decided that the best way to implement those changes would be to create a separate blog entirely, to be more of an evolution, or a sequel, rather than a continuation. And thus, Pony Remix Spotlight is born.

 

Pony Remix Spotlight is focused around three key changes:

  1. A focus on show remixes and covers. I chose this for two reasons, which can be found in the FAQ, but the short version is that I wanted the blog to focus on this particular niche of fandom music which no other site focuses exclusively on, while eliminating any doubt that the music being submitted to be featured is indeed pony music.
  2. A judges panel. This time around, I'm going to be pushing very hard on recruiting a judges panel, so that multiple critics can weigh on any given submission. A judge-based voting system helps create a consistent quality standard.
  3. Official affiliation with Pony.fm. Brony Music Spotlight was intended to be a precursor to the artist/music featuring system being discussed. The idea for the judges panel, aside from creating a quality standard, was to create a pool of candidates qualified to be judges for Pony.fm's system when it launches. This blog will see that reach fruition, and more, as an official branch of Pony.fm.

Through all of this, the Internet will obtain a place where the very best remixes and covers of MLP:FiM's songs can be found, while also paving the way for Pony.fm to be the one place on the Internet where the very best of all types of brony music is highlighted.

 

I hope you enjoy your time checking out this blog in the future, and if you feel like you have the chops to be a reviewer, check out the recruitment thread for more information.
