Remix News, November 2025
The Remix News covering November 2025 is now available for your viewing - and listening - pleasure, guided by the soothing voice of Scarlett o'Interfacé. Sugar, there's enough music here to wallpaper a moon - whatever the f---k that means!
I promise, this will all become clear once you start watching this episode (maybe). Bottom line is, with 38 (!) releases on RKO and AmigaRemix in November there are plenty of new remixes to listen to!
Remixer of the Year (ROTY) 2025 Voting Closes Jan 18th
This is a friendly reminder that voting for the Remixer of the Year (ROTY) 2025 awards closes on Sunday, January 18, 2026. If you haven't done so, yet, you have until then to vote for your favorite remixes and remixers.
And if you can't remember all the wonderful remixes that were released in 2025, listen to snippets from each of them in the Remix News episodes that were released monthly. (November and December episodes are coming shortly, too.) That's roughly 3+ hours of music to get through, but much less than listening to all the releases in their entirety.
Remember to enter a vote for each of the remixes and remixers you want to nominate in a given category, not just one! Every single nomination will count towards the final totals.
Have fun voting!

Back In Time 4 - Sidventure
by Chris Abbott
Welcome to Back in Time 4: Sidventure, part of the 8-Bit Symphony series of projects. It’s a series of symphonic tales, told with passion.
I planned Back in Time 4, 5 and 6 two decades ago to take over from where Back in Time 3 left off. It was always planned that they’d be largely symphonic, but it took a while (and many twists and turns) for reality to catch up.
This series of CDs contains computer-based performances of arrangements from the 8-Bit Symphony project. I used mostly VSTs from Orchestral Tools with additional libraries from Spitfire Audio, 8Dio, Impact Soundworks and Embertone. These were all integrated into Sibelius, and the scores were then marked up for realism (this is where the art comes in!). After that, they were output into Cubase where they were timing-corrected, enhanced with light reverb, mixed, and then rendered. The CD was co-produced by Kenneth Slaygon
Mutka who worked closely on this project since its inception, and without whom it wouldn’t exist. Many of the production ideas are his.
Arrangements were created by myself, Rob Hubbard, Gari Biasillo, Alisdair J. Pickering, Ben Daglish, Paul Norman, Peter Connelly, Julian Breeze, Alistair Boz
Bowness, Marcel Donné. They were orchestrated by Rob, Alisdair and 8-Bit Symphony conductor Robin Tate.
Big thanks to Back in Time Symphonic Collection
Kickstarter backers for their patience!
This project is of course dedicated to the memories of Ben Daglish and Richard Joseph. They would have got a kick out of all this.
The Last Ninja - The Wilderness
Arranged by Johan Andersson
There’s an admirable amount of restraint here that keeps the whole track a consistent and enjoyable, letting you weave in your signature style while keeping the vibe of the original intact.
I also think the mix on this track is one of your best, there’s a lot more instrumentation and it compliments the brass and guitar.
How you manage to keep pushing out so many quality, well played remixes I have no idea. Good stuff!
