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. ;)

Remix64 Design History

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!

We're teaming up with Overclocked Remix AND Nokia to hook up the artist who can do the best job of remixing and interpreting the Reset Generation soundtrack! The Reset Generation soundtrack was composed using primarily a Commodore 64 and a Nintendo NES. There are 21 Tracks to remix and there are midi files available for each track!

Besides getting their ReMix posted to OCR as our first N-Gage mix, we have delivered an amazing phone hookup courtesy of Nokia. The grand prize... a brand new Nokia N81, a US$399 value, with 8GB of memory including Reset Generation installed!

You have from now until the middle of July to complete as many entries as you want. But once we hit 11:59PM EST on Friday, July 10th, 2009, we're done accepting contest entries! All contest entries need to be emailed to admin@ocremix.org, subject "Nokia & 8 Bit Weapon!" Be sure to mention who was involved & what songs are being ReMixed!

Good Luck!

-Seth & Michelle :]

Sold out way too quick in December last year, now it's back at a reduced price: Minimalist homecomputer sounds of popular C64 and Amiga game soundtracks turned into arrangements for 120 musicians of orchestra and choir - a complete symphonic concert dedicated to Chris Huelsbeck ("Giana Sisters", "Turrican" ...). The songs were rearranged by PC demoscene legend Jonne Valtonen (Purple Motion / Future Crew), director was Grammy-winning artist Arnold Roth.

Price: 17.95 Euro (instead of 22.00 Euro)
