New Remix Album: Nepawaganza
There's a new remix album available by a Finnish duo called Nepawaganza. Their eponymous CD album is now available for order at their website. They also released a 5-track digital maxi of the album on Bandcamp where fans can preview what the full 11-track album is about.
Nepawaganza consists of Greippi on electric cello and Arttu Raami on electric bass. Their debut album also features German trumpeter Sobrasson on several tracks. Nepawaganza has been around for 6 years now, they've played at about 20 gigs, including demoscene events such as Zoo and Jumalauta. This is their first C64 remix album - check it out, and if you like what you hear, order their CD (and soon: cassette tape!) at their website.
Mastertronic C64 Remixes - Part 4
The 4th and last part in the article series about Mastertronic C64 remixes is now available. In it Waz takes a look at tracks from commercially released albums that remixed tunes from games that were re-released by Mastertronic. If that all sounds a bit complicated, that's probably my fault - just go read the article (in which Waz also provided handy links where you can listen to the remixes he mentions), and it'll all be clear.
"Amiga Rocks Harder" Now Available on Bandcamp
The latest album of FastLoaders Amiga Rocks Harder
is now available for purchase on Bandcamp, too.
New Fastloaders Album: Amiga Rocks Harder
Today the FastLoaders have released their much anticipated second crowd-funded Amiga remix album, appropriately titled Amiga Rocks Harder
. If you have backed their Kickstarter campaign check your inbox for the download links of the digital album.
The album contains well over 2 hours of brand new Amiga remixes spread over 3 discs and 39 tracks. Watch this space for release announcements on digital streaming services, including on Bandcamp - as soon as they are available, we'll let you know!

BIT Live is Back in 2026 - With a Surprise Date!
The FastLoaders have announced that Back In Time Live will be held again in 2026 in Bergen, Norway, and this time with a - <checks his notes again> - summer date!?! Yes, that's right, folks, for the first time ever, BIT Live will be held as a two-day event smack in the middle of SUMMER on July 31- August 1! Rumors were abound last year that Norway does actually have a summer season, so this might be a good opportunity to fact-check that in person. The event will be at a new venue, too, at the Ole Bull Scene, still in Bergen's city centre, not far from where all the other Norwegian BIT Live events were held in recent years. Tickets are already available for the event at the link below.

Ballblazer (feat. Beastie Boys)
Arranged by Romeo Knight
Marvellous!
Love the track, love all the samples and the composition of the tune.
One of the better technical remixes for quite a while.
I'd definitely like to see one of the classics remixed by these guys, something like the last ninja or rtype, because of the technical brilliance of this track.

JimPower - Theme + Level 1 - ToxicRmx
Arranged by Zzr
It seems to me that Zzr put a LOT of work into this tune. There are quite a lot of variations and diffrent parts. This leads to what I like:
I like:
-There's quite a lot of variety, the tune stays interesting
-also an interesting remix style, quite unusual
-I like the chosen sounds and instruments, they fit to each other
-The two covered songs are well combined into this remix
I don't like:
-the interpretation of the melody from 0:31 to 0:51 is not my cup of tea, it's a little too weird for me, would have been better to have it done like the part starting at 1:23
- the part from 3:40 to 5:10 is the weakest part of the remix. It's too long. Although there are variations of the beat within, the rythm melody stays almost the same for over a minute.
Technical impression: The diffrent parts are combined very well. Breaks fit where they are. When it comes to mixing I'm no expert. But for me it sounds well and very dynamic.
Artistic impression: Zzr knows his buisness. Well chosen sounds and much variety. Normally I don't like break beats, but for this tune I do.
A slight minus for the part from 3:40 to 5:10.
Nostalgic impression: Hmm, thats difficult. The themes from the covered tunes are recognizeable. But this remix doesn't stay true much to the originals. Therefore the nostalgic value is quite low.
But good new ideas are not a bad thing for sure. So the nostalgic impression is not very important in this case.
Overall I think this is a good, well done remix although a bit unusual
but that makes it interesting. I like to listen to it, and thats the main point to me. It's worth listening. Give it a try.
Just download it and judge yourself.
