Me and my friend Mallard Puddleduck were playing around with some disco breaks, and I decided to make this.  It's actually the first straight-up acid tune I've ever made, surprisingly.  Titled after an event in Yume Nikki.  (You should go play that game, seriously.)

Samples:
France Joli - Come to Me & Don't Let Go
Kikiyama - Monoko's Event (Yume Nikki OST)
Kenji Kawai - Making of a Cyborg (Ghost in the Shell OST)

Let Monoko Come

Samples taken from:
Brother Bones - Black-Eyed Susan Brown
Irving Berlin - Alexander's Ragtime Band
Urban Hype - I Feel the Heat (or whichever break it is that they used in that tune)
Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes (unreleased version)

I almost released this in full, but then I didn't.

Return

I made this thing as a joke for a Toastbeard event.

UPDATE: Now included on that [s4s] album :^)

Party

Sample taken from:
Ivor Cutler - Shoplifters

Petrichor

This was a thing that everyone at Equestrian Hype was doing a couple of months ago.  We were all given some stems and  we all made a remix.  This was meant to be an EP, but some people seem to have given up on the idea so I'm posting mine anyway.  This has been done for a while, after all.

Anyway, enjoy!

[Singularity] - Rave Republic (Nostalgia Mix)

Here's a late hardcore/early jungle style tune I've made.  Spookylicious sounds for your feet.

Samples:
Motherlode - Soft Shell
Morton Feldman - Christian Wolff in Cambridge
Jeff Wayne - The Red Weed part 2
The Dynamites - Fire Corner
James Brown - Soul Pride
John Cage - Imaginary Landscape no. 4

Distant Blue

Has it really been a year?  Sorry for such a long wait, everyone, and I hope you enjoy this little taste of things to come.  It's arguably a remix of one of my earlier tracks, but I think it's unique enough to stand on its own feet.  Stay tuned, there is more on the way!

Vocal sample is John Cage quoting from Nietzsche.

Anything

This is a remix that I did a couple of years ago and never got round to releasing, so here it is for those of you who like my MLP music.  Please note that my releasing this does not mean I'm going to make more MLP music in the future, it's more of a throwback.  Enjoy the dope!

Samples taken from (as before):

Daniel Ingram: So Many Wonders
Everything Everything: Final Form

Everything is a Wonder when you're this baked (Dope Cookie Extended Edition)

I think this is my first step into something new.

Pull At The Silken Sky

Silken Sky (Scossolum)

It's been a long time since I did a remix, and I've only ever done one before. And I've wanted to do another one for a while, so here's something I knocked together for you (yes, I'm talking to you). On another note, I sure as hell hope I've done this tune justice as the original is so beautiful to me. 
UPDATE: I've added another sample to this, to make it just that little bit cooler (20% if my calculations are correct). I wanted to put it in originally but I wasn't sure if it fit at first, now I've done some tweaking and it now should appeal to my fellow Bronies. I'd say that now this tune is a somewhat abstract representation of Fluttershy's spirit, gentle and peaceful.
Samples (obviously) taken from Autechre - Flutter, and MLP FiM episode 1, but I will be very impressed if you spot the other sample that I used ;) 
Artwork is not mine (I'm not too good at drawing Ponies), it belongs to <a href="http://yikomega.deviantart.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://yikomega.deviantart.com</a>/. I hope he doesn't mind me using it, and I'm happy to take it down if he asks so. 

EXTRA UPDATE: I've taken the liberty of remastering this track. I just thought it needed it, since I think the old snare was rather poor and the bass was a bit lacking before. Said problems have been fixed now.

Autechre - Flutter (Shy remix by Nosnibormada)

Well, after weeks of tedium and hitting creative dead ends I can finally call this finished! I wanted to remix this song as soon as 'May the best pet win' aired, I still think it's the best song of season 2 (okay, in hindsight I think that the smile song was better). I hope the jazz, ambient and jungle influences rub off on more people than just me. Anyways, please listen and enjoy! 

Update: Since so many people weren't fond of the sped up vocals of this remix before I've decided to go change them with only a couple of examples (when I think they work very well) remaining. Hope this pleases your ears more than the other version!

Find a Pet (Nosnibormada Remix)

Hello again fillies and gentlecolts! This week we have another classic rip on the cards, this time a classic rave tune from back in the heydays of late '92.

And boy, was there a lot of buzz back in Tuft Lane Studios back in those days, with Cloudsdale House still remaining popular and the lunar rave movement in Canterlot quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon, we simply couldn't release tunes fast enough.

It was a good time. We'd often have ponies all over the various recording rooms and whatever desk space they could grab, setting up their Amigas, Atari STs, hoofboards, samplers and whatever else have you, all carving out a little space where they could work on their tunes with everypony else. On any given day, the main studio would have half a dozen ponies coming and going, huddled in their corners with their setup, and the floor would rapidly become a death trap of tangled patch cables and empty soda bottles.

Sure, they could have just stayed home and worked in their bedrooms like so many ponies did, but sharing the space, working together and generally keeping each other company was all part of our culture at EqH. Everypony could come in an have a go, and we'd all share our equipment. All very much in the Equestrian custom of sharing and caring! As such, there was plenty of natter and gossip. Catching the ear of intrepid newcomer and multi-genre producer Nostalgia Sound was EqH regular Dj Pon-3's story of how she met and fell in love with her wife, Octavia, and he decided he just had to do a tune about it.

And we're glad he did! Wanting to try his hoof at the new fangled lunar rave sound, but being of a rather more gentler disposition than you're typical hoofcore producer or lunar raver, the resulting track came out more tuneful and euphoric than what the canterlot massiv' were usually bouncing their horns to, something a bit more like the house tunes we'd normally do in Cloudsdale. And as such, some ponies pinpoint this as one of the first "Celestial Rave" tracks, which took the sound and the culture along with it in a more mellow and friendly direction. Some ponies were just sick of all the rawcus and wanted to prove that having a good time and enjoying good dance tunes didn't mean you had to be so irresponsible and "more hardcore than thou". I always did approve of this change, myself. It felt a lot more Equestiran, and their motto of "Love and Tolerance" really sums up what I feel our nation should be about.

Whatever it fits into, this is a capital tune that sold copies on both the celestial and lunar side of things, thanks to the darker, less tuneful dub version of the b-side keeping things harder for the die hard lunars.

Enjoy the tunes, everypony~!

Production/Mix: Nostalgia Sound
Remix/Mastering: Mallard Puddleduck
CAT: EQU-066 

OOC: I decided to start this tune to make a tribute to CoffeeGrunt's magnificent fanfic 'Allegrezza'. I only really got stuff done however when I came into contact with Mallard Puddleduck and his label 'Equestrian Hype'. I decided to make this tune for the label, and voila! It was soon complete! 

Oh, and by the way, 'Nostalgia Sound' is the name I've decided to adopt for my ponysona. It's probably gonna be the name I'll be credited with for this fine label. Thanks to Equestria Daily for featuring this and extra thanks to Mallard for writing the marvellous description above!

Bonus info: I actually think this tune sounds better if you slow it down by 10%. Just saying ;)

Nostalgia Sound - The Element of Joy (Original Mix)

'The Soft Spectrum' is now available for download here: http://softspectrum.bandcamp.com/album/soft-spectrum I'm listening to it right now and it's pretty good so far. Go ahead and download the whole album if you want, rather than just my entry. I'm also pleased to say that my entry to the album was not only accepted but was also the judges' third highest rated track! Needless to say, I'm pretty proud of this one. Please feel free to leave a comment. 

Edit: Oh crap, it turns out that TarbyRocks has a song uploaded that has the same title as this (how the hell was I supposed to know that!) Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with Tarby's song. The common name is just a coincidence.

Only Time will Tell

I actually managed to pull this one off pretty quickly for once, and I think I did a fairly good job of it too. I know that this song has already been remixed to hell and back, but I still wanted a go at it since I got a few ideas upon re-listening to the original song. Oh, and I think I've finally got my head around how to use compression well, so this has some of that on it too.

Also, I even did an art for this one! Sort of. I can't help but shake the feeling that it's just like copying some of Aphex Twin's album art. Still, I think it works. 

Samples taken from:
Daniel Ingram - Babs Seed (who woulda guessed, eh?)
The Winstons - Amen Brother
The Incredible Bongo Band - Apache
Dialogue from MLP Season 3 Episode 4, 'One Bad Apple'.

Update: Officially rejected from Equestria daily! yay... (;_;)

Babs Seed (Nos' experimental remix)

Oh hey guys!  Long time, no hear, eh?  So yeah, remember that whole Nostalgia Sound alter-ego thing I started over a year ago?  I did another thing for it, and there's going to be another release under the same name very soon.  If you like DUBstep (not modern talking-step) with pseudo-ragga vocals about the EverFree forest, then this tune is for you. 

It's also part of a compilation released by Equestrian Hype records.  That's right, they're back in business now!  You can get the album here now: http://equestrianhype.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-bass-ics
