BIT Live 2026 Schedule
The schedule for the Commodore remix event of the year better known as BIT Live 2026 has been posted, and it's quite a doozy! There will be performances by Double Score Dungeon, NecroPolo, Jeroen Tel, Linus Åkesson (lft), and, of course, by FastLoaders! Ziona will also play a DJ set, there will be a C64 Café with SID music, and in-between SLAY Radio will be playing remixes on-site (they also plan to stream the entire event online). If you are still on the fence about attending, this lineup should convince you to buy your tickets now!

Galway Remixed
by Reyn Ouwehand
The ideal partner to Project Galway to celebrate the genius of Mr Galway himself, this CD is a slice of accomplished, hard-edged synth with a contemporary edge not blunted since its release. Highlights include a great dancey Wizball
reminiscent of Wizball 2000 but with its own flavour (and a reverse attack that sends shivers down the spine), a Miami Vice that you can lose your consciousness in, and a full length Parallax that really conveys the thrill of the melodic ending of the piece.
Arranged by Thomas Detert
But let me explain first that I kind of missed this when it was first released. Recently, I put together a MiniDisc for my car audio and decided to add this tune. And boy am I glad I did.
Thomas' powerful arrangements and his touch for spherical soundscapes have been put to good use in this masterpiece. It's a little Enigma, some Vangelis and a sprinkle of X-Files come together in a powerful synth ballad-theme that makes the hair on my neck' jump a meter. Beyond doubt, this is Thomas best piece yet, topped marginally, but only marginally, by his version of Shades on the Remix64 Vol2. CD.
Excellent choir sections, gigantic synths, hypnotically driving percussion and top sound quality. The tune itself is amazingly simple yet there's a big hookability rating here.
I bow in respect Mr. Detert.

Giana Sisters (Keep Da Scene Alive)
Arranged by DHS
It's perhaps inevitable that this track won't appeal to those people that eschew dance music, although it's worth pointing out that the odd sublime moment is in evidence, providing a counterpoint to the relentless beat and Giania-originated hooks (notably the strings/vocals prior to the 'list'). Makke's aping of the Scooter vocalist brings the whole thing together, and even if the list of names gets a little tedious at times, one has to marvel at the sheer audacity of the overall track - at the very least, it should bring a smile to your face.
