An Encore for Pete - The Journey of Encore500 v2 - Part 1
Over the past 15 months I’ve had the privilege of watching the Encore500 Volume 2 album take shape from the inside - witnessing musicians pour sweat and heart into every sound and every note. When the project began, none of us imagined that Pete wouldn’t be here to see the finished work…
My two-part article traces the album’s journey, with all its highs and lows, and includes conversations with the talented musicians who brought it to life. Part 1 is out now, and Part 2 will be published soon.

Matt Gray: The Last Ninja (Reformation 5)
The first disc
of the Reformation 5 campaign is now available at Bandcamp in which Matt Gray created brand new fresh remixes of all 11 tunes of The Last Ninja soundtrack. It has been a long and difficult road since Matt launched his Reformation 5 Kickstarter exactly 4 years ago, almost to the day, but I think we can all agree the wait was well worth it. Those who have backed the project should've already received their private download links. The original campaign promised a total of 3 albums, so more is yet to come from Matt!

New Remix Album: Nepawaganza
There's a new remix album available by a Finnish duo called Nepawaganza. Their eponymous CD album is now available for order at their website. They also released a 5-track digital maxi of the album on Bandcamp where fans can preview what the full 11-track album is about.
Nepawaganza consists of Greippi on electric cello and Arttu Raami on electric bass. Their debut album also features German trumpeter Sobrasson on several tracks. Nepawaganza has been around for 6 years now, they've played at about 20 gigs, including demoscene events such as Zoo and Jumalauta. This is their first C64 remix album - check it out, and if you like what you hear, order their CD (and soon: cassette tape!) at their website.
Mastertronic C64 Remixes - Part 4
The 4th and last part in the article series about Mastertronic C64 remixes is now available. In it Waz takes a look at tracks from commercially released albums that remixed tunes from games that were re-released by Mastertronic. If that all sounds a bit complicated, that's probably my fault - just go read the article (in which Waz also provided handy links where you can listen to the remixes he mentions), and it'll all be clear.
"Amiga Rocks Harder" Now Available on Bandcamp
The latest album of FastLoaders Amiga Rocks Harder
is now available for purchase on Bandcamp, too.
It's Binary, Baby!
by Marcus (Makke) Nilsson (feat. Andreas Wallström & Boz)
Contemporary retro pop that uplifts and amazes. A stunningly original CD in which Makke's personality shines through in every track! Highlights include the happy hardcore but so much more
Glider Rider, the inspired hard-edged electro-synth and robotic vocals of Cauldron 2-005
, and the Bonus tracks include Depeche Mode's
Personal Jesus and Apoptygma Berzerk's
Bitch, as well as Makke's witty and acclaimed covers of Madballs and Artura, with Makke's Irish accent all but wiping your memory of his Swedish origins!
NOTE: Even though the CD album is out of print, Makke has remastered, then uploaded all of the SID remixes from that album to RKO. You can find them here:
remix.kwed.org/search/makke (Look for the remixes he uploaded in 2021.)
