Remix64: Summer vacation for the jurors
[ Remix64 ] Summer vacation for the jurors
The submission systems for both Remix.Kwed.Org and AmigaRemix.com have now been switched off until the 24th of August to give the jurors the possibility to rest from their duties and recharge the batteries for the rest of the year. If you still want to showcase your tracks until the submission is reactivated, feel free to post your tracks on the forum, since there most certainly will be people around to enjoy them during the summer. It could of course also be a good thing even for the remixers to leave the keys for a bit and enjoy the summer.

Evoke: Barbecue Area
[ Evoke 2009 ] Barbecue Area
For all your nutritional needs we will be providing you with two enterprise-ready, always-on, five-nines-uptime barbecues in our new outdoor area. The barbecues will hopefully be always on and have some coal, lighter and some barbecue-silverware right next to them so you can slam a steak on them whenever you like. If weather allows we will most likely have some PA outside as well and everything will turn into a nice outdoor party. So, bring your meat (or vegetables, if you swing that way (not that there is anything wrong with that))!

BitJam Episode #71 - ST-01 Tunes
Let's go back, way back, back into time... Along with the revolutionary Soundtracker released by Karsten Obarski back in 1987 came with it the now legendary ST-01 sample disk. Packed with classic sounds these short samples gave the talented musicians of that time the ability to create some of the most instantly recognizable masterpieces in module format. Join us as we celebrate these sounds and musicians with a selection of the very best ST-01 tunes. Compiled and mixed by SoDa7, jingle also by SoDa7, logo #71 by H2O.
Next Week:
BitJam #72 - Diskmag Tunes
This podcast was specifically crafted to present you songs you normally don't hear - because everyone just turns off music for diskmags. A collection of songs, created to augment your reading experience when you lean back in your armchair and turn the pages of the screen.

Brief Sommarhack summary
[ DHS.NU ] Brief Sommarhack summary
Sommarhack 2009 have been going on over the past weekend. It was a small Atari-oriented party we decided to arrange when other classic Swedish parties have all gone one way or the other. The weather gods were with us, the entire weekend being a long hot scorcher. Temperatures of 28-30C in the shade and a river to dip into just meters from the party. So far so good. Then add a bunch of cool Atari guys and it's a perfect recepie - thanks everyone for visiting! Unlike our previous parties, we decided to have a small compo for music, graphics and demos. A few releases were made and you can download them all at our download page (see link below). Extra thanks to everyone who participated. Photos and perhaps a party report will follow later on, thanks again all Sommarhack visitors, for us it was a great weekend and we hope to make this happen again next year!

SOYT!NBG - "War is coming" (metal-industrial/gothic/elecro)
In 2000 we published the album as an independent release.
Now, after almost 10 years, I put it on the Web. Why the hell not. http://soytnbg.i-demo.pl/
The stuff is actually made by ZX Spectrum group HOOY-PROGRAM (Mr Hangman changed here his nick into PZB). But the music has nothing to do with ZX Spectrum.
It's goth-metal-industrial/electro-metal/rock-industrial/tanz-metal/darkwave/EBM or whatever You call it. For fans of bands like Rammstein, Die Krupps, Oomph!, Kmfdm, Ministry, Pitch Shifter, DeathStars, Blood, Static X, Nine Inch Nails, Unheilig and others.
Entire stuff has been made throughout years 1996 - 2002, on Pentium 100Mhz, AWE32 sound card and the AKORD tracker with 16 channels, written by Mr Hangman (in some parts based on ScreamTracker3). ENJOY. Yerzmyey/H-PRG^AY_R

[ Remix64 ] Ziphoid new head of Remix64.com
Dear Remix64 visitors,
since Tas & me founded Remix64 8 years ago, I've been managing the site using my best endeavours. During the last year however, I have been barely able to keep track of the happenings in the scene, and I really feel it's time I take a step back and put Ziphoid at the helm. He's at the nerve of the scene and a great guy, I know he'll do a great job. I will not be totally gone though, I'll still take care of the conceptual and technical aspects of the site, and I'll try to do a remix or two. After all, that's what this scene is all about. Thanks for all your support over the past years - this community is special! - LMan

Pubmeet @ Bleep '09 (chipmusic gig/mini-festival)
London, Sat 11th July 09. With gwEm, syphus, nullsleep, minusbaby, failotron [et al]
NULLSLEEP, STARSCREAM, DIE MODERNE WELT, MINUSBABY, FAILOTRON, SYPHUS, STEVE, GWEM & COUNTER RESET, JELLICA, KEZZIEBEAT, CALMDOWNKIDDER all playing live at Bleep London '09.
Since it's taking place on a nice summer Saturday in London, in a nice multi-room venue/bar, it seems sensible to use it as an excuse for a pubmeet too. Anyone who's in the area at the time - come on down! The credit-crunch-beating entry fee of £5 makes it a cheap Saturday night out in London by anyone's standards (anyone who doesn't live under a bridge drinking cans of Special Brew, at least), so it should be a good 'un.
Come along to hear the best in live Amiga, Atari, Gameboy, NES and soforth courtesy of the UK, US and Hungary's finest, or just to get criminally and blazingly drunk with #ukscene louts and any other sceners within grabbing distance.
