Markus Siebold 1969-2026
We have just learned that Markus Siebold — musician, SID composer, and remixer — has recently passed away at the age of 57. He is best known for creating music for the game Turrican II: The Final Fight on the C64, alongside numerous other SID tunes throughout the late 80s and early 90s. Over the years, he shared his own remakes of that iconic soundtrack here on Remix64, along with several other remixes. We are deeply saddened by his loss and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family, to his friends, and to everyone touched by his life and his music.

Matt Gray: Green Beret Main Theme (R5 Version)
Another track from Matt Gray's Reformation 5 dropped today:
Matt Gray: This time it's one of the remakes for the main R5 album and an all time favourite C64 tune Green Beret Title/Main Theme by the maestro Martin Galway. I must have re started on this track half a dozen times over the last couple of years and I finally found a blend of SID elements and new parts that I really like.
I can still remember the Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1986 that I bought this game and rushed home to load it up and check out what Mr G had conjured up. The loading music was excellent but this title theme blew me away at the time.
Hopefully you all feel much the same when you hear this new version.

by FTC
FTC is one of my favourite remixers, and I'm proud to present the first Album in Progress
at C64Audio.com. This is the starting point for FTC's album. The headline tracks will be re-recorded and remixed over time by me, and you'll have access to them automatically (at no extra charge) when they appear. Although some of FTC's work is chaotic, at its best, it evokes the spirit of late-night coding, and sometimes even a sinister Richard Carpenter vibe: at other times, it takes a portion of a SID and skews it so far that it turns into a beautiful piece of art. These are remixes in the true sense of the word. And: the most important thing: FTC has his own sound, and his own style. Even more impressive, his original stuff is as good as his SID covers. And sometimes better 😊 Keep following this one: buy into it now, download the many pieces on the CD and the bonuses (FTC produced many tracks that didn't get to RKO), and enjoy!

Hardcore Power (We Believe In Goa - Remix)
Arranged by Dafunk
If you like those categories you might like Dafunk's 'we believe in goa' remix of 'Hardcore Power'.
The remix is nicely mixed and build up. The style reminds me a bit of Capella and Scooter.
It starts very slow and athmospheric, building up the mood, much like Scooter does in 'Cosmos'.
The beat kicks in at 1:08, but even though this sounds like a long time to wait I wasn't at all bored with the intro.
Unlike many remixes, its produced very well. At around 2:54 we get a rest, making you want to hear more, instead of falling into repetition like some remixes do.
And we do get more. At 6:57 it's a long remix, and even though I dislike long mixes I loved every second of it.
Technically it's well mixed. Artistically it's not just a clone with different instruments, it's well though out and creatively done.
For nostalgia factor… Well, until just now I hadn't heard the SID yet. Part of the melody does sound familiar to me so I might have had an. mod remix on my Amiga.
