"Wings of Death - Reworked Anthology" Kickstarter Now Live
The Kickstarter campaign of Wings of Death - Reworked Anthology
by the German Remix Group is live as of today and is accepting pledges, with €1287 of the original €6500 goal already pledged with 29 days still to go. As a reminder, the finished product will be available not only as a digital download, but also on physical media: as a double CD, and as a limited-edition Best of
vinyl record, with additional stretch goals also available. The project is also approved and supported by the original author himself, Jochen Hippel. Check out the campaign's page below for more details!
Matt Gray: Central Park Main Theme (LN2) (R5 Version)
The second album from Matt Gray's Reformation 5
project is most definitely in the works as evidenced by another track he posted from the upcoming Last Ninja 2
album. Earlier this year we got a single featuring the main theme from The Sewers level, and today we got a single with Central Park Main Theme.
A Quick Q&A with the German Remix Group
The German Remix Group (GRG) has recently announced that on April 22nd, 2026 they will launch a Kickstarter campaign for the creation of a physical album dedicated to Jochen Hippel's soundtrack of the Amiga game 'Wings of Death'. Although this group has been publishing remix albums since 2012 - all of which have been available for free on their website - not everybody may be familiar with them, so I thought I would make them sit down and answer a few questions to introduce themselves and their new campaign to the readers of Remix64.com. You can read my interview with them at the link below.

An Encore for Pete - The Journey of Encore500 v2 - Part 2
The second and final part of my article about the making of Encore500 Volume 2 , including interviews I've conducted with the musicians featured on the album is now online.
An Encore for Pete - The Journey of Encore500 v2 - Part 1
Over the past 15 months I’ve had the privilege of watching the Encore500 Volume 2 album take shape from the inside - witnessing musicians pour sweat and heart into every sound and every note. When the project began, none of us imagined that Pete wouldn’t be here to see the finished work…
My two-part article traces the album’s journey, with all its highs and lows, and includes conversations with the talented musicians who brought it to life. Part 1 is out now, and Part 2 will be published soon.
SIDnificant
by Vandahlia
Looking for something new and a bit different?
Looking for some remix variety?
Well then, this might be an album for you!
This is a remix album featuring a select set of Commodore 64 demoscene tunes.
However, you won't find any game music remixes or commercial music covers in here, nor will you find music by any famous composers and/or famous C64 demosceners since this remix album is dedicated to the lesser known
and focuses strictly on non-commercial original SID tunes which (as far as I know, and at the time this album was put together) haven't been remixed before.
There's so much talent and so much cool SID music out there! ?
Same as with the original tunes, the style, tempo, and mood of the remixes vary - which is why the tracklist conveniently lists them from lighter to darker sounding, although this album stays within the electronic music genre since there are no orchestral or acoustic type remixes, and while certain creative liberties were taken during the remixing process in order to beef up the sound and produce a track that's at least 3 minutes long, melodic additions and other noodlings were deliberately kept to a minimum since I didn't want to dilute the original tunes too much.
And yes, this is a totally free digital album!
It can easily be downloaded from either Bandcamp or my Google Drive.
Enjoy the music!

THIS IS A TOTALLY FREE DOWNLOAD (AS LONG AS THE FREEBIE SLOTS LAST - BANDCAMP'S LIMITATIONS, NOT MINE).
IF THE SLOTS HAVE RUN OUT, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS ALBUM FROM HERE: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GL3Kokw2v6Q-0mW903SnVtoXGJoXyV_6?usp=sharing
