10 years of Remix.Kwed.Org
Happy 10th anniversary, Remix.Kwed.Org!!!
On the 23rd November in the year 2000, a new website revolutionised the then young c64 remixing community: Remix.Kwed.Org, lovingly named RKO by its users, went officially online. Offering vast webspace and free bandwidth, and employing latest web technologies, its founder Jan Lund Thomsen finally enabled artists to submit their remixes into a free, central, automatic music repository. This system compelled by its minimal design and ease-of-use, quickly superseding or complementing the conglomerate of websites that existed before (Triad's mp3 site being the most popular), which were loosely organised via the c64rmx yahoogroup.
The success of RKO lay the groundwork for many of the scene websites that came after, including Remix64.com.
Thanks Jan for 10 years of ceaseless service to the scene!
