New Encore Album Premieres on SLAY Radio on Nov 28
The same blokes who already brought you two Encore albums roped in even more folks to work on Encore64 Volume 2
and they will be premiering their new album on SLAY Radio on November 28, 2024 at 20:00 (CET), so make sure to clear out your schedule for that evening! If you tune in, you'll be able to listen to many (if not all) of the tracks of the album for the first time, and several members of the Encore gang will be interviewed by Slaygon and Ziona, too. Be there, or be a square wave!
"Amiga Rocks" Release Party Concert Video
FastLoaders released their second triple-album Amiga Rocks
in the summer of 2020, an album entirely dedicated to the Amiga computer and its music. Due to COVID the release party of the album could not happen until the Back In Time Live party in October 2022 where the FastLoaders performed many tracks from the album together with several original composers, like Chris Hülsbeck, Tim Wright, and Barry Leitch. The video recording of that concert will debut on YouTube on Nov 23, 2024 at the link below.
Remix64 update: Unified Remixes, One Place for All Your Votes & Reviews!
We’ve just made a big improvement to how you enjoy remixes here on Remix64. As you might know, remixes appear in either category: C64 Remixes, Amiga Remixes, and Album Releases. However, this meant that identical tracks appearing in multiple categories ended up scattered, with separate votes, reviews, and comments for each version.
Now, we’ve streamlined the system! If a remix is available in more than one category, you’ll see it all in one place. All votes, reviews, and feedback on any version of the remix now count toward a single, unified spot—making it easier to see what the community thinks and to find everything in one place. Also you'll find links to the other categories of the same release on the remix page.
This means better organization, more comprehensive feedback, and less confusion for everyone. Go check it out and let us know what you think!
A double release can still compete in both Best Amiga
and Best c64
categories at the ROTY awards.
Remixers: if you have released or will release a track in multiple categories, let us know, so we can set you up. We've already linked up many past releases, but there are surely many more.
SIDRIP Alliance: "Re:ReLive" - A Re:Review
A few months ago SIDRIP Alliance surprised us all by unveiling their second album at Árok Party titled Re:ReLive
. Recently I took some time to jot down a few of my thoughts about the album that have been swirling in my head ever since I first heard it. Read my short review at the link below.

M1x3d Up
by Instant Remedy
The album is more of an extended EP
and not a full album since it only has 8 tracks. Some of the tracks are old remixes which never made it to commercial platforms but by working out the copyright stuff and remastering them now have found a way to your favorite streaming service. 4 of the tracks are original compositions I made some years ago which I remixed/remastered to make them fit your ears better. Although the styles of the tracks are a bit m1x3d (hence the album name), the primary direction of the sound is a classic 90’s dance style with SID sounds and crispy arp chords – the classic IR sound. This is what I think most fans will appreciate.

but this is not a 1:1 cover of the original!True, but it's still bloody amazing! The rock-style arrangement is spot-on, the instrumentation was obviously carefully chosen, the guitars are played craftily, and the result is a powerful piece of music that also happens to be a mind-blowing SID remix.

It's more fun to computeKraftwerk piece. The cover itself also contains some Kraftwerk references: the opening seconds remind me of Autobahn, the more or less simplistic arrangement also smells of Kraftwerk. Unfortunately, most of the sounds selected for this cover are of the
modernKraftwerk variety and I am not too fond of them in this context. A neat idea that needs to be worked on more.
