A few months ago SIDRIP Alliance surprised us all by unveiling their second album at Árok Party titled Re:ReLive. Recently I took some time to jot down a few of my thoughts about the album that have been swirling in my head ever since I first heard it. Read my short review at the link below.

Catching up, catching up… The 2024 August edition of the Remix News allows you to catch up on any new releases you may have missed that month, courtesy Lea and Mordi. Head over to the YouTube link below to get a tasty bite of all of them, plus listen to the Spotlight track in its entirery. Enjoy!

Finished a bit belatedly, but the 2024 July edition of Remix News is now here! It contains not only all the RKO and AmigaRemix releases of that month, but as an added bonus you can also sing along to the Spotlight track of the month with synchronized on-screen lyrics! Which remix is that, you ask? Well, I guess you'll just have to find that out yourself by watching the Remix News!

Last weekend the gaming-centered Moderskeppet (Mothership) event took place on a cruise ship around Stockholm. Tony Fluke73 Wirén was there playing game music during the cruise. The ship sailed for a total of 20 hours, and Tony played game music for 10 hours of that! Watch the link below for a short excerpt from his set.

64 days (!) from now the online demo party Transmission64 will open its virtual doors. On Saturday, Nov 23, 2024 at 22:30 (CET) the party will feature the world premiere of PRESS PLAY ON TAPE's live recording from last year's Back in Time Live event. Newly mixed, mastered and edited! See its teaser trailer below.

After last year's success another Zzap! Live event was put on by the organizers which was held just last weekend, on Saturday, Aug 17, 2024 in Kenilworth, England. Of special interest to Commodore music fans this year was the music focused Q&A panel which featured Barry Leitch, Jason Whitely, Mike Clarke and Rob Hubbard, and the MC was none other than Peter Clarke. Good times were had by everybody and it was not only an entertaining session, but informative, too. Fortunately, the entire thing was recorded on video, too - check it out at the link below!

The Israeli duo known as Kleiner'82 (Alex Goldblat and Jud) has released a new remix album! Titled simply C64 & Amiga Remixes it consists mainly of SID remixes, but it also has a couple of Amiga remixes and two additional bonus tracks on it. The album is available now on Bandcamp on a name-your-own-price basis. Check it out at the links below!

Although its exact birthday is lost in the fog of time, SLAY Radio turns 25 years old this year, and to celebrate the occasion Slaygon invited people to a 25th anniversary Gathering in Gothenburg, Sweden this past weekend. Fortunately, Fluke73 was also there to capture this momentous event on video. Fluke73: Thanks for an awesome Gathering! Thanks for the great hospitality, Slaygon and Ziona ! It was awesome to meet you all in Gothenburg at Kville Biljard! Enjoy my summary of the party!!! (See YouTube link below.)

Another month is in the books, so here's your Remix News with Lea summarizing all the RKO and AmigaRemix releases in June. There were only 14 releases in this month, so it's a relatively short one this time, but there are still plenty of gems to be found inside. Check it out!

From Fluke73: Today I got my Special Achievement Award in the mail! Watch tonight's show and see me unbox the award - Friday, July 19 at 2200 CEST.
