An interview with dafunk

Volker 'Dr Future' Buckow has been busy again, this time interviewing one of our brightest shining stars on the remixing heaven, Dejan dafunk Subotin...

An Interview with daXX

daXX has been THE Amiga-remixer of the last years. Not only did he do a lot – and I really mean A LOT – remixes, according to that the quality of the remixes is outstanding in most cases. daXX won the Remixer Of The Year-award for Best Amiga Remix in 2007 and 2008, and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if he’d win it in 2009 again. Here’s the little interview we did recently:

An Interview with Press Play On Tape @ Back in Time Live 2004

by Andrew Fisher

Andrew Fisher tried to get an interview with the band after their performance at St Luke's.

Sadly there wasn't time to ask many questions, so the guys agreed to do an e-mail interview after the event for RETRO GAMER... only for the interview to be dropped due to lack of space. Here it is in full for the first time anywhere...

An Interview with Maindrian

by Volker Buckow

1981? A mere strapling when the C64 first came out, Maindrian has been a guitar-driven force in the remix scene over recently. Here's his reactions to the world in general, and the C64 remix scene in particular, expertly coaxed by the inimitable Dr. Future.

An Interview with ifadeo, formerly known as 2Klang

An Interview with Larsec

by Volker Buckow

Larsec burst upon the scene like a rocket. Or a bat out of hell, depending on your preference. A taste for the dramatic and the atmospheric made him a natural choice for Remix 64 - Into Eternity.

An Interview with Infamous

An Interview with Martin Galway by Claudio Sánchez

by Claudio Sánchez

Hello, I'm Claudio Sánchez, member of the forum of Lemon64¹, a site dedicated to the Commodore 64, one of the most known computers in Europe and USA in the eighties. Also, webmaster of The C64 Inventory², a site with the goal of having an inventory of all existing C64s around the world. In both places you will find me as "Tokafondo".

Here we have an interview with a C64 music legend, Martin Galway. He is one of the most known music composers for that machine. His work is seen in many games for that machine, and today in modern PC games like some titles of the Wing Commander series. Today he is working for "Digital Anvil", a company that has a deal with Microsoft for producing games under that company's seal. After reading a lot of them available in many sites, and seeing that most of them have the same questions, I tried to have a different approach to the life and work of this man, whose name is one of the first that arises when people talk about C64 music.

An Interview with Dr. Future

by Neil Carr

It had to happen, either now or sometime in the future didn't it? A BITLIVE experience outside of the UK. Thanks to Dr. Future, the organiser it will happen, but this interview barely mentions bitlive Germany, instead we talk about the c64, music and remixing, oh and a little on bitlive Germany.

An Interview with Bastian (Interview by Bart Ten Brinke)

by Bart Ten Brinke

Whilst I was looking at ever bigger getting interviews section of Remix64, it struck me that nobody had yet interviewed my favourite SID artist: Bastian. And since Bastian is one of the few artists who is actually making Commodore-ish songs that apear in the hitparades, I decided it was definately time to do an interview with him! And after a lot of e-mails back and forth, this is the result

An Interview with Steve Turner

by Neil Carr

Originally Steve did the music for Graftgold, but alas he couldn't find the time to continue with the music part of the games industry. Not surprising really since he was also the owner of Graftgold.

An Interview with Tim Forsyth

An Interview with Max Hall

Max is signed to no-less than four record labels as a producer/remixer. He's also licensing some of his work in Japan. But a musician who hasn't forgot where it all started with a unique remix of Future Shock, which can be downloaded at RKO.

An Interview with Machinae Supremacy

by Neil Carr

Machinae Supremacy broke into the scene with the superbly reworked rock version of Gianna Sisters, which instantly took pride of place at the top of the Remix64 charts and still there to this very day. They also won "Remix Of The year" at Remix64 which was voted for by our visitors, and there's more to come.

An Interview with Søren "Jeff" Lund

by LMan

Jeff mastered the SID chip like few others. The early 90s, a time when many people abandoned the c64, Jeff just kicked off. He released impressive SID works for various demos and groups. The best thing about it: he is still very active in the c64 scene: making music, and even coding his own SID editor.

An Interview with Jeroen Breebaart

by Neil Carr

Jeroen, better known for his excellent dance remixes will be looking to change direction when it comes to remixing. As with his latest remix "Thrust" the Jazz/Funk style will be more evident in the future.

Keith worked for Odin/Thor before later joining Ocean creating works like Hypaball, Scary Monsters, and CABAL. Keith introduced a sound that was very uniquely his. As with Fred Gray Keith brought a different approach to c64 music composing that was refreshing and addictive.
