"Amiga 40" by Allister Brimble
Hi all, I'm very excited to release my new album which is a tribute to 40 years of the Amiga, an extraordinary machine that shaped so much of my creative life.
It also honours Martyn Brown, whose encouragement opened the door to game music for me. His work with Team17 defined an era, and I owe much of my path to his belief in what I could do.
One track, ST-01, is something I’ve wanted to create for decades: a full remake of the original SoundTracker instruments. I’ve gone back to the source samples, reworking and restoring them with care, trying to capture not just the sound, but the feeling of those early days.
This album is for anyone who remembers the thrill of booting up Workbench, the joy of discovering new mods, and the magic of making music on a machine that felt like it truly understood you.
I hope it brings back some of that wonder.
(Allister Brimble)

A Musical Tribute to Peter Clarke
Remix64, RKO, AmigaRemix, and SLAY Radio presents A Musical Tribute to Peter Clarke
, featuring a medley of remixes of his tunes and remixes made by him. Rest in peace, Pete.
Goodbye Pete with ziona and Slaygon
SLAY Radio dedicated a special show to honour our friend, the musician, the remixer, the beloved mentor to many, Peter Clarke
who passed away last week. You can watch it in its entirety at the YouTube link below.
Peter Clarke 1958-2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Clarke - beloved SID musician, prolific remixer, and cherished friend - who left us today at the age of 66 after a long illness. Pete created many memorably tunes on the Commodore 64 back in the 1980s, both at Ocean Software and later as a freelancer. For the past 15 years he has been an active, passionate, and generous contributor of the Commodore remix scene, releasing several highly acclaimed remixes and albums. But above all, Pete was a good friend to many. His music and jovial spirit delighted us for decades, and his legacy will never be forgotten. We extend our deepest condolences to his partner, Rowena, and to his entire family. We at Remix64, and the entire Commodore retro and remix community will miss him dearly. Rest in peace, Pete, and may you delight the heavens with your harmonies.
Upcoming security maintenance
We're trying out some new security mechanisms, so beware of some unexpected behaviour on the website during the next few days.
SIDnificant - A C64 Demoscene Remix Album
Looking for something new and a bit different? Looking for some remix variety? Well then, this might be an album for you!
This is a new remix album featuring a select set of Commodore 64 demoscene tunes.
However, you won't find any game music remixes or commercial music covers in here, nor will you find music by any famous composers and/or famous C64 demosceners since this remix album is dedicated to the lesser known
and focuses strictly on non-commercial original SID tunes which (as far as I know, and at the time this album was put together) haven't been remixed before.
There's so much talent and so much cool SID music out there! 😃
Same as with the original tunes, the style, tempo, and mood of the remixes vary - which is why the tracklist conveniently lists them from lighter to darker sounding, although this album stays within the electronic music genre since there are no orchestral or acoustic type remixes, and while certain creative liberties were taken during the remixing process in order to beef up the sound and produce a track that's at least 3 minutes long, melodic additions and other noodlings were deliberately kept to a minimum since I didn't want to dilute the original tunes too much.
And yes, this is a totally free digital album!
It can easily be downloaded from either Bandcamp or my Google Drive.
Enjoy the music!

Arranged by Tim Forsyth
What I dislike—or rather, what I miss—is the lack of originality and a personal signature from Tim. I know he's capable of that, because we can hear it after minute 3:12! This SID offers the best foundation, incredible potential, and virtually infinite versatility. Yet this rendition feels
onlylike an effortless direct translation of the original arrangement, and Tim misses the chance to make it truly his own. That’s what makes my heart bleed!
In its current form, it’s more of a crowd-pleaser than a piece of art with its own soul or identity. Nevertheless, it’s still a very good rendition—just not exceptional in my eyes (or ears).
