RKO maybe down or not - the amount of remixes that are released is BY FAR less than one or two years ago!

and the radioshows being more popular than ever,
how do you define "popular"? how many people listen to this radio show? according to the "Top Ten heard tracks on the rotational list" it's around 130. so the average number of listeners must be around 80?

Maybe people tend to prioritize other things more from time to time. I know I do.
me too! but doesn't priorizing other things mean that the former "main interest" is less interesting now?

you mean in the c64 remix scene? nope, i still produce the same amount of remixes as always

are they? i keep hearing that sentence for months (if not for years) and nothing seems to happen.

Just because there boards are less active than a few years ago it doesn't mean the scene is dead. It's just changed a bit.
that's an argument i can accept. btw, my claim that the c64 remix scene is dead was, like i said, a provocation, an exaggeration to initiate this discussion. so, please, don't take that literally!
this whole radio-thing may passed by on me and chatting is not my cup of tea.

does that mean you agree that this scene is stalling?
@neil: did you delete your first post? it was completely different! in that, you wrote that there are not many cds because less people are interested! why did you delete that? i think that's a very important point! you, the remixers, of course are still interested in the scene. but are the listeners, the consumers? or are they fed up? are they fed up because every famous tune was already remixed? did their interest decrease because no interesting cds are released?
