A Quick Q&A with the German Remix Group
The German Remix Group (GRG) has recently announced that on April 22nd, 2026 they will launch a Kickstarter campaign for the creation of a physical album dedicated to Jochen Hippel's soundtrack of the Amiga game 'Wings of Death'. Although this group has been publishing remix albums since 2012 - all of which have been available for free on their website - not everybody may be familiar with them, so I thought I would make them sit down and answer a few questions to introduce themselves and their new campaign to the readers of Remix64.com. You can read my interview with them at the link below.

An Encore for Pete - The Journey of Encore500 v2 - Part 2
The second and final part of my article about the making of Encore500 Volume 2 , including interviews I've conducted with the musicians featured on the album is now online.
An Encore for Pete - The Journey of Encore500 v2 - Part 1
Over the past 15 months I’ve had the privilege of watching the Encore500 Volume 2 album take shape from the inside - witnessing musicians pour sweat and heart into every sound and every note. When the project began, none of us imagined that Pete wouldn’t be here to see the finished work…
My two-part article traces the album’s journey, with all its highs and lows, and includes conversations with the talented musicians who brought it to life. Part 1 is out now, and Part 2 will be published soon.
Matt Gray: The Last Ninja (Reformation 5)
The first disc
of the Reformation 5 campaign is now available at Bandcamp in which Matt Gray created brand new fresh remixes of all 11 tunes of The Last Ninja soundtrack. It has been a long and difficult road since Matt launched his Reformation 5 Kickstarter exactly 4 years ago, almost to the day, but I think we can all agree the wait was well worth it. Those who have backed the project should've already received their private download links. The original campaign promised a total of 3 albums, so more is yet to come from Matt!
Encore500 Volume 2 Now Out!
The latest remix album titled Encore500 Volume 2
is now out! This is the 4th album in the Encore series and their second album containing nothing but Amiga remixes. All 16 tracks of the album are available for free on AmigaRemix.com, featuring remixes from Bass Cadet, Barry Leitch, Jogeir Liljedahl, LMan, Firefox, Tim Forsyth, Turbo Knight, Romeo Knight, Mattias Brian, Xiny6581 (DeeS), Martin Wall, and ziona.
