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.
Cinematic 64
by Slaygon
Slaygon: An attempt to create a cinematic soundscape that I would enjoy hearing on a somewhat dark type of movie. Perhaps that would tickle your ears too.
The title of the songs tells it, or rather wants you to imagine it, while the songs themselves explain the feeling in that part of the story I felt while imagining it. In short, this is the story I had in my head while making these:
ARRIVAL (Driller) - The arrival of them seemed grandiose and somewhat of a hopeful idea at first, but very soon there were doubts.
THE FIGHT (Rambo) - The obviously good things they claimed they came offering started cracking under any sort of scrutiny, but we are gullible people. The call for a fight against this tyranny begins here. Call to arms as it were. We have a few encounters with the Arrivals, most of which end badly. We are still united and will not stand for this.
AFTERMATH (Deliverance) - The first major attempts at rising up against the Arrivals has failed, and we have massive losses on a planetary scale. It all went so quick. No communication with other parts of the world. At most, your locals that have HAM radios. We thought they were here to save us, embraced them. How could we have let this happen? Our children are dead in the streets now. The pain screams through the night, while our haunted minds recall our loved ones.
THE DARK DAYS (Aztec Challenge) - We see how The Arrivals have devastated everything. We organize. We find pockets of resistance. We will fight with everything we have. We find our strength in the dark recesses of our minds. We organize and attack everything we can, as long as it makes them pay for our losses. Sometimes chaotic, every so often organized and devastating.
THE LOSS (Opus II) - We organized and attacked. We failed. We had everything going for us, yet were out manned, outgunned and then overrun. We lost so many. All now seems pointless and a lost cause. But because we are humans, we do not lose hope. We strive for hope. We fight. Forever. Even in the face of total devastation, our world falling apart, we go forward.
THE MANTRA (Mutants) - We have stopped imagining ourselves as anything other than entities taking revenge. We now live and breathe the mantra that is easily conveyed by simple ostinato's that translates to I will kill you
and I will take revenge
and variations thereof. There is a re-ignition of fighting spirit among the remaining populous after a horrendous act by the opposition.
THE CHASE (Knucklebusters) - The tables have now turned. WE FOUND YOU BASTARDS. We are coming for you with all we got. We throw everything in there, all be damned. We have had enough of all of this! We have now retaken control in most places! We are now at your tail, we will throw everything we have at you to make you go away!
