26/01/2010Last saturday was the big night of the Remixer Of The Year 2009 award show. Presented by the SceneSat Radio staff, it was being broadcast by SceneSat Radio, SLAY Radio, Radio6581, BitJam and Nectarine Demoscene Radio simultaneously. The hosts were joined by a live crowd consisting of many surprise guests, among them former years ROTY winners and other scene VIPs, pushing Ziphoid's apartment space to its limits! The most entertaining 4 hour show did not only trace the musical highlights of 2009 and present the winners: with the joint broadcast it also opened up perspectives between the remixing community and the demo scene, both which are cloesly related, but have often been ignorant of the other in the past.

The Results

Mordi won 2009's big price, being the new Remixer Of The Year. Firestorm massively scored #1 in the categories "Most Innovative Mix" and "Best c64 Mix" with his version of "Commando", which was a surprise release in december. XxDUSTYxX won "Best Amiga Mix", while daXX managed to place a whopping 9 of his remixes in that category. Reyn Ouwehand managed to win "Best Veteran" for the third time in a row, followed up by Hazel. The award for "Best Newcomer" went to Heartek. In a surprise coup, the Lifetime Achievement Award 2009 was awarded to yours truly, LMan.

Congratulations to all winners and follow-ups, everyone, you've deserved it. As always: the ROTY lists contain only winners.

19/12/2009Some of you may already be aware of the excellent site http://bitworld.bitfellas.org/. It contains a large comprehensive database of Amiga demos, but with a somewhat limited search facility.
To remedy this we have created an alternative search interface to the collection at ExoticA - Amiga Scene Demo Database (Beta). Like the Modland and HVSC Search it includes a variety of ways to browse and search through the information. We only display a small subset of the data at Bitworld, but provide a link to their site for further information. Please give it a try and give us any feedback on the ExoticA Forum. It is marked as beta for now, as there might be bugs, and new features are likely forthcoming. Many thanks to zeg, Asle, Curt Cool and Menace (and the rest of the Bitworld team) for their help and co-operation.

A new official C64 remix album from C64Audio.com? Did you think we'd given up? Well, NecroPolo has worked like a dog to produce a real quality Prog-rock album packed with great guitar work, 70s synth loveliness, and even some SID. It's a real labour of love!

10/11/2009On Sunday, 8th November, the father of the Great Giana Sisters died of a heart attack. Beginning his carreer as a game designer for Rainbow Arts and Blue Byte as early as 1984, he went on to found Spellbound Entertainment AG in 1994 together with Jean-Marc Haessig (Airline Tycoon, Desperados, Arcania: A Gothic Tale).

23/10/2009The weekend of October 23rd-25th, SceneSat Radio will broadcast a lot of live shows from the Alternative Party  in Helsinki, Finland. One cool and odd feature is that the broadcasts also will be available on FM103.1MHz over the Helsinki area, so if you are anywhere nearby, feel free to tune in, otherwise you can always listen to the stream via http://scenesat.com.

Amongst the treats you will get this weekend, there'll be interviews with a lot of demoscene people as well as Jeri Ellsworth - who gave us the C64 in a joystick - the DTV. Don't miss it!
