AROK 2010 SID Remix compo Demo, GFX and music competitions traditionally belong to 8-bit parties, and AROK party #12 is no exception. Usually, remixes are out of the game but for a while there is a C64 based (!) MP3 player, so the competition is extended for SID remixes, too! If you wish to participate, spin up your music engines and send your remix to: balazs.oszvald@gmail.comValid entry audio format: MP3 128KBPs, non-VBR Deadline: 15th of July, 12:00 AM Demos, C64 GFX and SID music files are also welcome. The party will be held on 16th, 17th and 18th of July at Ajkarendek, near from lake Balaton. For further info, please check the AROK #12 Party homapage. If you have any questions, check the Remix64 forum thread. Last but not least, there also will be a SIDremix scene related event on the second day: a live gig by SID tribute band SIDrip Alliance.

 Great Giana Sisters
Arranged by machinae supremacy My hat off for this remix indeed! They've kept the spirit of the song so perfectly intact, wrapped in all of those lovely grungy guitarsolos... Me love! One of the few to succesfully mix both modern style music along with the original soundtrack. And the intro is a chapter for itself, I definatly agree. Congrats!

Tetris part 1
Arranged by Kraku First off, this is a terribly difficult piece to do any sort of remix .. Other than a transcription with enhancements.. It's also one of my favorite C64 pieces. Overall an excellent job. I'd definitely not be afraid to go overboard with the percussion in part two, think NIN's Piggy.. I did feel that the bass sound that comes in at 3:00 should have been more like a distorted rhythm guitar..

Syntax Era - Remix64 Volume 3by Remix64 TeamPure Geek-cheek! Take famous 80s tracks such as 19, Two Tribes, Too Shy, Billy Jean, Broken Wings and I Feel Love, painstakingly recreate the sound, and inject that into classic C64 music such as BMX Kidz, Comic Bakery, Sanxion, Arkanoid and Ghouls and Ghosts. Remixes come from amazing talent: Romeo Knight, LMan, Makke, Tom Detert, Tron, Moog, Binster, Ziphoid, Boz, Sonic Wanderer, Tonka, Skitz, Trace, Slaygon, iFadeo and even (gasp) a guest appearances here and there from Chris Abbott. You'll wonder how we could get away with such a cheeky tribute to the 80s: well, no samples from the original tracks were used, and the musical content has been replaced by the C64 tune covered. The CD also features some really great songs in their own right, which result from a perfect match between C64 melodies and hooks, the sound of SID, and classic 80s instrumentation, such as Ace II, Jethro Walrus, Aspar Grand Prix, and Dominator. The CD was the baby of Markus "LMan" Klein, who acted as Co-ordinator, remixer, artist and layout, and even made his own tea, ably assisted by Tom Detert who did much of the mastering. CD is in now shipping! Tracks are available in high quality VBR MP3 and FLAC (all non-DRM).
