The always highly anticipated annual Remixer of the Year (ROTY) awards show was yet again hosted by SLAY Radio with Ziona, Slaygon and Boz behind the mikes on Saturday, February 22, 2025. As is traditional now, the month-by-month highlights were intermixed with the announcements of the winners in the various categories:

• The Best Newcomer award went to 7DD9, only the second time the award has been won by a Greek!
• The remixer who got the most votes for Best Veteran was Dr Future, edging out second place Jogeir Liljedahl and third place Tim Forsyth.
• The Best Amiga Remix by far was Supremacy (Encore64 V2) by Peter Clarke as voted on by the fans.
• The Best C64 Remix award went to Artillery (Encore64 V2), unbelievably the first time ever Jogeir won any kind of ROTY award! Second place went to the fantastic 27+ minute long remix of Tetris (Mariko's Tale) by Barry Leitch. while third place went to Compleeto (featuring Romeo Knight) (Encore64 V2) by LMan.
• Peter Clarke also received a much deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. Peter Clarke has already been well-known for being the in-house musician at Ocean back in the 1980s, and for producing memorable SID tunes like Ocean Loader 3, but this award went to him mostly for his tireless support of the remix scene in recent times, for being the driving force behind 3 album releases, and for helping out so many remixers on the scene with his knowledge and expertise.
• Finally, the coveted Remixer of the Year (ROTY) 2024 award went to Eivind Sommersten!

Congrats to all the winners, to all the nominees, to all the remixes - and to all the listeners who took the time to vote for their favorites! This scene wouldn't be the same without all of you!
