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!

"Amiga 40" by Allister Brimble
Hi all, I'm very excited to release my new album which is a tribute to 40 years of the Amiga, an extraordinary machine that shaped so much of my creative life.
It also honours Martyn Brown, whose encouragement opened the door to game music for me. His work with Team17 defined an era, and I owe much of my path to his belief in what I could do.
One track, ST-01, is something I’ve wanted to create for decades: a full remake of the original SoundTracker instruments. I’ve gone back to the source samples, reworking and restoring them with care, trying to capture not just the sound, but the feeling of those early days.
This album is for anyone who remembers the thrill of booting up Workbench, the joy of discovering new mods, and the magic of making music on a machine that felt like it truly understood you.
I hope it brings back some of that wonder.
(Allister Brimble)

Arranged by Makke
Drum is great too, chords sound are a bit disapointed however compared the overall sound. We expected a sort of Jupiter-8 pad instead.
Congratz!
