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.

Arranged by Chris Abbott Dramatically underrated classic synth remix of a classic SID tune. Don't be fooled by the upload date, this is a piece of c64 remixing history from pre remix.kwed.org times. Apart from a careful arrangement and instrument selection, this remix features a pure reverence for Hubbard's masterpiece, but at the same time isn't afraid to enhance even further. Nearly a decade old, this still competes with the best. It's beautiful.

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..

Back in Time 2by Various ArtistsBack in Time 1 broke a lot of ground, so the sequel aimed to raise the bar. The second album used some extraordinary talent such as Peter Connelly, Jogeir Liljedahl, Tonka and Danko to provide a much more varied soundscape than the first. Highlights include the beautiful orchestral version of "Forbidden Forest", the ultimate feel-good remix "Wizball 2000" and the spine-tingling "Galway is God" Rambo/Green Beret medley, as well as featuring a remastering of the first ever C64 Remix: Rob Hubbard's own "Thalamusik" from Zzap!64 issue 26. Round that off with an extended club mix of Comic Bakery and Fred Gray's own funky interpretation of his own Batman theme, and you've got a CD which still stands the test of time today.
