WoodenToaster: The Electronic Voice of the Brony Fandom

Canadian electronic music producer, composer, and vocalist, renowned within the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (MLP:FiM) fandom for his energetic and influential contributions.Andrew Stein, operating prominently under the alias WoodenToaster, gained massive popularity within the online Brony community starting in the early 2010s. He is best known for creating iconic electronic music tracks heavily inspired by the MLP:FiM characters and universe, often featuring vocals by fellow fandom musicians like Michelle Creber (voice of Apple Bloom) under the alias MicTheMicrophone. His music, characterized by genres like chiptune, dubstep, electro house, and drumstep, became synonymous with fan-made animations, PMVs (Pony Music Videos), and conventions. Albums like "Dangerous Business" and tracks like "Discord" (remixed by TheLivingTombstone) achieved legendary status among fans, propelling him to the forefront of the fandom's music scene. While deeply rooted in the MLP community, he also produces original electronic music.
  • Stein adopted multiple pseudonyms within the fandom: WoodenToaster (primary production alias), MicTheMicrophone (rapping/vocals), and occasionally Aviators (though this later became a distinct project).
  • His collaboration with Michelle Creber (MicTheMicrophone) was central to his most popular work, blending his production with her rapping and singing.
  • The track "Discord", originally composed by Stein, was remixed by TheLivingTombstone. This remix became arguably *the* most famous and recognizable song within the entire Brony fandom.
  • His music, especially "Discord" and themes for characters like Rainbow Dash (e.g., "Awoken"), became the soundtrack for countless fan animations and PMVs, driving the fandom's creative output.
  • While the peak of the MLP:FiM fandom has passed, Stein continues to produce electronic music, both under the WoodenToaster name and other projects like Aviators, exploring broader themes beyond the fandom.
