End of an Era: C64Audio.com is Closing Down

15/05/2025

Sadly, Chris Abbott has recently announced that C64Audio.com is closing down on June 30th, 2025. The site has been up and running since 1997 (!) - its importance in getting the Commodore (and general 8-bit) remix scene off the ground simply cannot be overstated.

 

Until then their online store is having a closing down sale with heavily discounted pricing. Most content of the site will also be slowly transitioning to its new page on Bandcamp in the coming years, so many of the albums produced by C64audio over the decades that had so much love and effort poured into them will eventually be available there.

Your efforts were much appreciated, and we'll do our best to carry on the fine tradition you've started and now handed over to us. Thank you, Mordi and Lea! ❤️
