Platypus Reclayed
Platypus Reclayed is a follow-up to the original Platypus game published in 2002 and it is now available on several platforms. At this point you might ask, what does this have to do with Commodore remixes? Well, because the entire soundtrack of the game consists of nothing but C64 remixes, licensed mostly from the "Back In Time 2" (1999) album!
BIT Live 2025 Remix Compo
Together with the FastLoaders and SLAY Radio we're very happy announce the BIT Live 2025 Remix Compo! This year the theme of the compo celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Amiga, but C64 remixes are also very welcome as long as they conform to the compo rules. As usual, the compo will be anonymous. Deadline for the entries is November 16, 2025. For details, check out the compo's page. Can't wait to hear what you come up with!
C64Audio Re-releases on Bandcamp
Chris Abbott has started to upload the entire back catalog of C64Audio.com to Bandcamp. Fifteen albums are already available there, no doubt with more to come. Follow C64Audio on Bandcamp to be notified when more albums are made available there: c64audio.bandcamp.com/music
In addition, FastLoaders have made their albums available on their own Bandcamp page, too, check it out at fastloaders.bandcamp.com.
Additional FastLoaders concerts
If you can't wait until late November to see the FastLoaders in concert at BIT Live, you'll have two additional opportunities in the coming months to rock with them.
First, the FastLoaders will be on stage at Setpatch 2.0 - The Official Pre-Party for Amiga40 on Friday, October 17th, 2025 in Mönchengladbach. See the party's Facebook page for more details and for tickets.
Second, they will also be performing live at the 2Funky Complex in Leicester, UK on Saturday, November 8, 2025. For more info and for tickets to that concert, head over to the event's Facebook page.
Back in Time LIVE! 2025 Tickets Now Available
As announced late last year, the FastLoaders will yet again organize a BIT LIVE! party in 2025, this time as part of the Play! Festival
in Bergen, Norway. It will be hosted in the city's most prestigious venue, Grieghallen, in the heart of the city.
The full program is yet to be announced, but there will be live performances, remix competition, SID Dj's, and SLAY Radio will be there, too. The FastLoaders themselves will also perform on stage with a set of old and new renditions from their massive discography.
Tickets to the event are now available at Ticketmaster. For more updates and questions, follow the event at www.facebook.com/BackInTimeLive.
Remix64 v2 - Into Eternity
by Various Artists
The original Remix64
title referred more to the community embracing the remixers than the content of the CD. And so it was that Remix64 - Into Eternity turned into a symphonic epic not a million miles away from the popular Merregnon series of CDs: there certainly is a teutonic air to much of the album. Highlights of the CD include Markus Holler's spine-tingling reworking of Fist 2
with flute and ethereal vocals, and Thomas Detert's Spellbound
which gives life to Rob Hubbard's own dark vision for the piece. Belying the computery artwork of the cover, this CD is a powerful piece of fantasy soundtrack more than it is a remix CD. Enjoy it at that level, and be blown away.
NOTE: Altough the CD album is now out of print, most of the tracks of the album have been uploaded to RKO, and they are available there for free:
Sigh of The Eye (Analog Dust)Arranged by ifadeo
so delving into mr dunn (ooer) i realise he obviously liked this tune so much he put it into platoon (or lifted it out and did a better sounding version) either way ifadeo has done something rather beautiful with it.
Its a very easy going sound that he has created, I can hear the usual trademark synths being used too good effect as ifadeo does, the tune was pleasent and very beautiful in the 1st place and this is pure lounge business.
The only gripe i really have is with the hi-hats in the background of the beat they sound a little too dirty but thats just a minor thing when the rest of the tune is as good as it is.
Not an essential download, you dont need this to have the definitive c64 collection but if you like good music and love easy going melodies then this would be for you.
As i said before a sociably acceptable remix that pleases my ear personally and i recommend downloading it, and for those that have never heard of the tune heed the words above it is platoon sid2 aswell as sigh of the eye so if u like that essential if you dont then trying things new never hurt anybody… except novice sword swallowers of course.
