Summer vacation for the jurors

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:11:00 +0000

The submission systems for both Remix.Kwed.Org and AmigaRemix.com have now been switched off until the 24th of August to give the jurors the possibility to rest from their duties and recharge the batteries for the rest of the year.

If you still want to showcase your tracks until the submission is reactivated, feel free to post your tracks on the forum, since there most certainly will be people around to enjoy them during the summer. It could of course also be a good thing even for the remixers to leave the keys for a bit and enjoy the summer. ;)

Ziphoid new head of Remix64.com

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:16:00 +0000

Dear Remix64 visitors,

since Tas & me founded Remix64 8 years ago, I've been (co-) managing the site using my best endeavours. During the last year however, I have been barely able to keep track of the happenings in the scene, and I really feel it's time I take a step back and put Ziphoid at the helm. He's at the nerve of the scene and a great guy, I know he'll do a great job.

I will not be totally gone though, I'll still take care of the conceptual and technical aspects of the site, and I'll try to do a remix or two. After all, that's what this scene is all about.

Thanks for all your support over the past years - this community is special!
