Back In Time Live & Remix64 25th Anniversary Compo
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!

"Wings of Death" Kickstarter Fully Funded!
The crowdfunding campaign of Wings of Death - Reworked Anthology
, a project by the German Remix Group (GRG) has just ended - and we're glad to report it got fully funded! In fact, it far surpassed its original goal of €6,500, which means that there will be bonus remixes on the album by Tronimal, Nordischsound, Fabian Del Priore, Chris Hülsbeck, Barry Leitch, and Matt Gray, too! The support from the retro community has been fantastic, and the GRG is really grateful for it. Well done, fans, and congrats to the German Remix Group for the highly successful campaign!
Note: if for some reason you missed this campaign, you can still order digital downloads from the project.
25 Years Ago: The First "Back In Time Live!"
It was exactly 25 years ago on May 16, 2001 when the first Back In Time Live! event was held in a club in Birmingham. Back then many of us thought this might be our only chance to meet our heroes, the C64 musicians who enriched our lives in the 1980s, so we flocked to the place from all around the world. It was a euphoric event whose success luckily spawned many more meet-ups. So, let's get a bit teary eyed as we remember that milestone event…

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!

Review by ulfepulf
Arranged by Larsec
I do appreciate music most definetely, though, but as an inductor of emotions and memories. I often react strongly emotionally to tunes because of what they bring forward in me. Its kind of like a surge of goosebumps that rushes my body. (I have heard Christians refer to it as the Holy Spirit 😊 lol)
Hmm, I'd better get to the point. I signed up as a member on the site just to be able to write this, and it's all because of you Larsec! I don't have any terms to describe any of the technical diddeleyidoo, that you fuss around with, but let me congratulate you anyway with the a purely emotional judgement I can humbly give. I love it Larsec. It gave me that surge of energy when the solo begins at 6.31 and a strong sensation of sadness and beauty followed and giving the fact that I just fell in love (another story, but you know that one, hehe 😉) it speaks even more to me.
Keep up the spirit and life will bring you to the forefront of music, my friend. At least that is my wish for you.
