Kent 'Trace' Wallden's mixes of Way Of The Exploding Fist has gone down extremely well throughout the scene. A talented Guy who creates some wonderful remixes. His latest piece of work 'Armagedon', can be found at R:K:O. Why not send him some feedback on this.

Bart ten Brinke has so far made only one c64 remix. His version of Myth is very good indeed with superb use of stereo sound. He is looking towards doing mixes of Maniac Mansion and Outrun (Splash Wave).

LMan has showed that he can compete with the best. His IK (Hiyyyah! Remix) proves this beyond doubt, winning him acclaim from many sections. He has also composed some non commercial c64 sid tunes that can be found on the HVSC under the name LMan, they are equally impressive. Not only this he works on the remix64 site and has provided content, graphics, and web design alongside colleague Slim.

Jogier is another person who has contributed to the Back In Time album. His most popular cover is the Galway Is God mix, Which even he describes as his personal favourite. This mix mergers both Rambo and Green Beret with some class. It's an excellent cover, and it can be found on BIT 1 CD.

Dhs's has always impressed me with his arrangements. They are proffesional. They keep in-touch with the original, yet add extra dance-a-bility. Not only this. He also belongs to the group Soundwavers which are equally as impressive as a collective

What can you say about Rob Hubbard. Well where would we be now if it wasn't for him. Rob inspired countless composers and arrangers. He turned the modest sid chip into a orchestra, like which was never heard before. Rob now works on the Back In Time CD's. You'll be able to hear his WAR on the BIT 3 album. Also coming on a future Bit album is a re-work of a tune that no-one has heard before. Exciting! you bet!

I like the quote from Chris Abbott when he said Martin could make the sid chip sing. His unqiue style and sounds made him one of the most respected musicians of that period. His work includes: Parallax, Wizball, and the famous ocean loader just to name a tiny selection.

Oj Oscillation designs his many of his Remixes to the Dance/Techno style, with occaisonal slant's towards something different. Many of his mixes are heavilly mixed, to the point that the original can hardly be distinguished. It's always nice to hear something a little different and with Oj's arrangements you have just that

by Neil Carr

Che has covered many sids, many are Martin Galway covers. One of his latest tune was Short Circuit. This can be found on R:K:O. Downloading is recommended.

by Neil Carr

Ben needs little introduction. As a pioneer of C64 music, his feel good anthems made him a household name on the c64. His most popular music includes: Trap, Deflektor, Krakout, Bulldog and Foft (ST/Amiga). We asked Ben about his time on the c64 and what he thinks about the current C64 remix scene. Here is what he had to say…

by Neil Carr

Puffy is an arranger that has brought something a bit different into the world of Remixing C64 sids. His use of the Guitar is extra-ordinary winning him a call-up to Chris Abbott's Back In Time 3 CD, where he worked on the cover of Armalyte.

by Neil Carr

DJ Tobi is 15 years of age - showing that the great sounds of the C64 can still attract a good following even beyond it's years. This also shows that the scene has a longer life span than most would have thought.

by Neil Carr

Darren was responsable for Scarabaeus and Driller on the Back In Time 2 CD. A talented guy who likes to keep in touch with the original sid he is covering. So we asked him about this and many other aspects regarding the C64 remix scene.

by Neil Carr

Peter has arranged just a few tunes to date. His latest arrangement was Big Deal. Previously he arranged mixes of Sanxion and Enigma Force. These were about 4 years ago.

by Neil Carr

Marcel Donne has produced some of the most complete covers that can be found on the Internet. He has bravely attempted some of the most complex pieces from the C64 and has come out of it with much credit.

by Neil Carr

R:K:O (remix.kwed.org) has established itself as one of most important sites on the Web for arrangers. It was a great idea, and a much needed site for arrangers to post their remixes, so that they could become available for all to hear. So we spoke to Jan and asked him to express his views on R:K:O. I must say he gave a lengthy and detailed interview.

by Neil Carr

Boz's C64 music covers have been well recieved here at remix64. Most of his remixes have received over 80% in the reviews section of the magazine. Boz has had vital input in the production of the forthcoming Back In Time III album. As a remixer of c64 music, his styles vary, but the synth style is very prominent in his work. Here is what he had to say…

by Neil Carr

Chris Abbott has become one of the most respected arrangers of C64 mixes. His work with the Back In Time cd's and the upcomming Back In Time Live has proved beyond doubt that this man is very ambitious. He has worked with most of the top c64 musicians, including Rob Hubbard. Chris Abbott was our primary target for our first interview. We was delighted when he accepted. Not only did he accept our invitation, he also gave us an honest and open interview. So without further ado, here is what he had to say…

by Neil Carr

Fabian's works include remixes of The Last V8 and Armalyte (Bit3), Main Composer of the Merregnon CD, and a multitude of game soundtracks. His remix of the Last V8 gained an impressive 10 rating right here at remix64. This interview was done live.
