"Amiga Rocks" Release Party Concert Video

03/11/2024

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!

31/10/2024

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.

Listening Recommendation

 Boulder Dash (Jamrock Dash)

Arranged by Makke

The vocals are just - wow. The idea of making this into a reggae is just - wow. But something feels a bit off with this remix. The harmonic interaction between the organ sounds and the stabby chords sounds weird at times. It's not dissonant, but something is off, can't quite put my finger on it. But overall, that's just a minor complaint, completely overtaken by the sheer creativity of this remix.

 Spellbound (Remiximus)

Arranged by deVilhoOD

Wow… I didn't like the original SID and must say you totally blew me away with this remix. The original tune is there, even the original feel, but you just do so much with the instruments and the mix!

The introduction is… perfect! A great way to start this piece, and moving it from a typical 4/4 drum beat into the march feel was very well done! The only thing about the intro I would have liked a little more was a slighty long cymbal draw, it feels to… rushed. The addition of the thunder was… well done.

Sometimes there is a instrument or two which seem to have just "popped" out of nowhere feeling like it is a "mistake". A perfect example if what sounds like a flute off the left channel, which happens to pop up. 29seconds, . 40seconds, and 1. 39secds - and a few times through out the piece.

The only other thing I would have probably added to the introduction to just add something more to the overall impressive feel would have been a little more to the strings - just playing the chords left it slighty empty where it is begging for some high pitch strings to bring you into the piece. A few 7ths and sust2nds would have helped in my opinion.

Overall this piece shows a lot of really great work, and bar the few areas where our "technical" differences appear, this is a piece of work that really honors and improves upon the original.

 Paperboy

Arranged by Luode

First of all, I think it's completely inappropriate to criticize a newcomer for his very first remix in this way, especially since the AI ​​accusations don't seem to be true at all. People can have different opinions about music styles and tastes, but someone has made the effort to remix a song, so this should be recognized and appreciated in the first place! I find your remix quite interesting and in a way it suits my taste too. Although I wouldn't have immediately recognized it as a Paperboy remix if it hadn't been named that! 😉 The quality of the mixing and mastering could be improved. I think the arrangement is pretty good. You're on the right track. I definitely think there's enough potential here for more exciting and good sounding remixes and I would like to encourage you to keep at it and make more remixes for us to enjoy!
