Platypus Reclayed
Platypus Reclayed is a follow-up to the original Platypus game published in 2002 and it is now available on several platforms. At this point you might ask, what does this have to do with Commodore remixes? Well, because the entire soundtrack of the game consists of nothing but C64 remixes, licensed mostly from the "Back In Time 2" (1999) album!
BIT Live 2025 Remix Compo
Together with the FastLoaders and SLAY Radio we're very happy announce the BIT Live 2025 Remix Compo! This year the theme of the compo celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Amiga, but C64 remixes are also very welcome as long as they conform to the compo rules. As usual, the compo will be anonymous. Deadline for the entries is November 16, 2025. For details, check out the compo's page. Can't wait to hear what you come up with!

The Way of the Exploding Fist OST version
Arranged by Tollis
This is the second review I am posting about this remix. In the first one I wrote that I had a nagging suspicion that this remix was created with heavy AI assistance.
I also wrote that if I am proven wrong on this, I would be the first to happily admit that I am wrong.
Well, I was wrong.
Tollis contacted me privately about my first review, and after a few email exchanges he has given me enough assurances that that this remix was NOT created with heavy AI assistance
.
Which I was actually relieved to learn, because this is a very good remix! I don't know if anybody else is familiar with the Twelve Girls Band
, a Chinese ensemble that infused traditional Chinese tunes with a modern flair. The style of this remix totally reminds me of their tunes: it's energetic, it sounds big, and it is decorated with that unmistakable Far Eastern style.
In fact, I wish this remix featured at least some authentic Chinese or Japanese instruments, that would've been the cherry on top. Another gripe I have with this remix: there are just way too many instruments placed in the middle, making the final mix sort of washed out (which was actually one of the reasons I originally thought that many of its instruments were AI generated).
But technicalities aside, the end result is hugely enjoyable, and that's what's most important.
