Episode #216 – Best Compo Tracks from 20 years of Evoke Two decades of Evoke... Oh boy, that means countless hours of great compo music and the birth of many genius and creative talents. Artists who know how to deliver a great listening experience or who successfully experimented in a silly and funny way. Long before KEVIN we heard about a fountain called Jockel. We learned that Paniq doesn't need any instruments for making music. Enjoying phat beats from glxblt, Bitch or dq was as awesome as hearing the comeback of legendary BitArts. Also don't forget Crome, who can do the chip-style as good as heavy metal music. These all are moments we'd like to share with you again in this episode, featuring the best compo tracks from 20 years of Evoke! Mixed by Vincenzo, logo by Oni, compiled by Bobic

Episode #208 – The MegaSong The Megasong Project is a demoscene music project initiated by Fabian Del Priore aka Rapture to bring together talented demoscene musicians and trackers from all over the world, combining their forces in one big music piece, which they bring together in collaboration; each participant is working on a part of the song (each one working on a few patterns or so), before it's the turn of the next participant and the tune is handed to him. The end result is a massive coop tune, but sounding as homogeneous and consistent as possible. The first Megasong is made in Spacesynth (think Laserdance/Koto) style, but thinkable for the future are all kinds of styles with all kinds of different musicians, a different song length, different software to work with and so on and on, so the whole project is flexible to the max! Special thank you to KF for BitJam banner graphics.

Episode #203 – Dualism Wiki says: Dualism (from the Latin word duo meaning "two")[1] denotes the state of two parts. The term 'dualism' was originally coined to denote co-eternal binary opposition, a meaning that is preserved in metaphysical and philosophical duality discourse but has been more generalized in other usages to indicate a system which contains two essential parts. Yes. We are back. Mixed by Vincenzo, logo by KF, compiled by The BitFather

Episode #202 – Insert Disk 2 Special - Instant Remedy (in collaboration with 010101 Music) Swedish remixing legend Martin Noriander Instant Remedy is finally back with a brand-new album - "Insert Disk 2" celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Amiga brand with a fine selection of arranged game and demoscene tracks from the 16-bit era. Episode #202 features tracks from this new album, its predecessor, as well as original game music composed by Instant Remedy. Says Martin: "When the internet was still young, me and a few classmates discovered the HVSC and SIDPLay. All of a sudden it was possible to listen to all those great tunes - without the hassle of setting up a real C64 to load the games! However, I wanted to add something to the SID music to make it sound fuller and suitable for listening on a stereo system. So I started adding some drums, bass and other stuff, just for fun. At first, I played these tracks for friends only. Remixing game music was not as common back then as it is today. They really liked what I had done, so I decided to submit MP3s to some sites... and so my remixes started to spread."

Episode #198 - Softsteppin' Softstep is like dubstep, but without this aggressive punch in your face. Some people name it minimal dubstep. We say, it's dubstep for pussys. Guess what?

Episode #195 - Manifesto - Dane's Mix From X2014 There's a small town in Germany with about 12.000 inhabitants, where two boys used to meet each other with their first own cars next to their favourite gas station. The windows have been pulled down and the volume of the cassette player was turned up. Bitfellas' Bobic and his friend listened to great SID tunes from Hubbard, Gray, Huelsbeck and others and spread the mighty sounds into the air of her home town. That was 22 years ago. Now, in 2014, not much has changed. Both friends still meet at the same place from time to time. They still listen to SID music while having a beer together, but the music comes from their cars' MP3 player, while their children are playing next to them. They still feel the magic of SID sounds, such as the ones which were presented at X 2014 demo party, the C64 mega event. Modern SID magicians such as Dane, Fanta and many others are the ones which blow their notes into the air now. So tune in and let's have a (virtual) beer together while listening to Manifesto, mixed, compiled and presented by the master himself: Dane! BitFellas - Where Bleeps and Beeps feel like coming home. Mixing by Stellan 'Dane' Andersson, logo by KF

Episode #183 - U.S.States Music Department Some years ago our Bitfathers brought forth, on this music continent, a new radio, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all demoscene musicians are created equal. It's nearly the same what US president Abraham Lincoln said in his famous speech "The Gettysburg Address". Now it is for us the living, rather, to honor the music which was made for the land of Abraham Lincoln's sons and daughters, the USA and its states. This nation, under God, got a new birth of freedom with music by 4-mat, Lapin, Jogeir, Xerxes, Maytz and others. BitFellas - we're travelling through the USA this evening.
