The deadline for the BIT Live 2022 Remix Compo is quickly approaching! You have until October 16 to submit your entry. Go to the compo's website to learn about the rules and to submit your entry. Good luck!

The biggest event of the remix scene, BIT Live 2022 is less than a month away! If you haven't, yet, get your tickets now. Also don't forget to submit a remix to the event's compo. (Deadline for entries: October 16, 2022.) See you there soon!

The Commodore Retro eXpo, the annual gathering of US Commodore enthusiasts will be held on Sept 23-25, 2022. The event will be virtual this year, but - more interestingly for remix fans - it will also host a musical event called Bit-Scape which will feature acts like FastLoaders, and the 8-Bit Symphony, among others. More details about this free (!) event at their website.

What? It's August already? That must mean that it's time for the Remix News from... erm... June... A little late again, but it was still a busy month with lots of great new remix releases. Your Remix News is courtesy of Lea, Mordi and SLAY Radio.

The 8-Bit Symphony Pro: Second Half album was just released in digital format for those who backed the Kickstarter project. Check your inboxes for the download links.

In case you've been living under a rock, the 8-Bit Symphony project arranged many of our favorite C64 SID tunes for an orchestra, which were then performed by an actual orchestra (Czech Studio Orchestra) recorded at Smecky Studios in Prague. And now the second set of those recordings have been released as a two-disc digital album, available in MP3, FLAC, surround sound and Blu-Ray formats.

To quote Chris Abbott: Together, we made this impossible project happen - actually, over 50 tracks of symphonic C64, all playable by real orchestra, a load of which were actually orchestrated by Rob fucking Hubbard. Go back even 20 years and tell yourself this would happen and you'd laugh at yourself.

In case you missed the Kickstarter, you can also pre-order the physical CD (with instant digital download) or Blu-Ray disc of the album at the link below.

The BIT Live event is back in 2022 and once again it will feature a remix compo! This year your remix will need to combine two tracks from the VIPs who will attend the live event into one awesome remix. All remixes will be played at the BIT Live event in Bergen in October in front of a live audience including the original composers, and the event will be streamed by SLAY Radio.

Everyone can submit a remix. The winner(s) will gain honor and glory in the C64 and Amiga remix community, as well as prizes which will be announced later!

The compo is now accepting submissions. Deadline for entries: October 16, 2022.

Kwed's C64 Take-away podcast is back after a nearly 3 year hiatus! Who couldn't do with a bit of C64 remixes and SID chiptunes to take our minds off these troubled times? I know I could.
