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 #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.

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.

Episode #166 - HVSC Top 20 - C64 love About HVSC: The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) is a freeware hobby project which organises Commodore 64 music (also known as SID music) into an archive for both musicians and fans alike. The work on the collection is done completely in the Team and contributors' spare time and is proudly one of the largest and most accurate computer music collections known. About the Top 100 list: For years, veteran SID fans have debated what are the 'best' SIDs. It now has come time to settle this issue once and for all. It wouldn't be enough, though, to just haphazardly throw together a list of the Top 100. This project had to be done fairly as well as include multiple voters in order to ensure a true average. These are SIDs that we are talking about after all, and they certainly deserve such respect. Putting this list together also serves as a nice introduction to SID music for those new to the SID world. Mixing by Vincenzo, logo #166 by Grass, compiled by HVSC and all the C64 lovin' people.

Episode #162 - Vincenzo the Funktastic Being an oldschool chiptunes lover he started composing on C64 in 1992 and later switched to PC. In 2004 he formed a rock band and played the Hammond organ with one hand and the Rhodes piano with the other. 2007 was the year when he enhanced the BitFellas inner circle and became the good soul who runs the BitJam Radio and BitJam Podcast. The music company www.strayboom.com which is about music composing and sound design and was launched by him in 2010. In the demoscene macrocosm people know Vincenzo from various Conspiracy, Hardread, Rebels, fresh!mindworkz and BitFellas demoscene productions as a musician from 8 to 32 bits. In the BitFellania microcosm Vinci is the humble giant of a friend who got the natural talent and dedication it takes. Check his stuff at http://soundcloud.com/strayboom Thank you Vinci, it's an honor for us to dedicate an episode to you. For those who dig the funk...

With music by Chris Hülsbeck himself, Fabian del Priore and the metal guys from Machinae Supremacy plus awesome graphics where you can switch fluently between the beautiful landscapes and dark places this download title captured our hearts by storm. Now we want to celebrate the 25th birthday of the Giana Sisters together with the creators and you!

Episode #158 - Tribute to Psygnosis, Part 2: Racing on top of the PSone Hello and welcome to part 2 of our journey through the beautiful sound universe of Psygnosis games. We're moving on and crossing the timeline when the boys and girls from Liverpool switched from Amiga to console gaming, especially the PlayStation. For example, they created WipEout, the first new media sensation which made video games interesting to a broader audience. This episode includes tunes from games which brought Psygnosis fame after their Amiga era has ended and before they lost their name to become Sony Studio Liverpool. Information about the unreleased music included here: Assault Rigs 2: "I did write some music for the sequel but the game eventually was dropped." (Stuart Duffield) Damij - Shoki: "The track 'Shoki' was from a 3D fighting game called 'Damij' (it was almost completed, but was dropped and ended up not being released). The track has some background noise - it was recorded using 8-track tape and hasn't been remastered at all." (Stuart Duffield) Drakan: "Here are some unused tunes from Drakan and Drakan 2 which I got kicked off a few months into it..." (Barry Leitch) BitFellas - there's some owlsome music in the air. Mixing by Vincenzo, logo #158 by KF, compiled by Bobic We say thank you to the following musicians, who made this episode possible: Tim Wright (CoLD SToRAGE), Barry Leitch, Stuart Duffield, Rik Ede and Mike Clarke.

Psygnosis, playing at the THEATRE OF DEATH now. This is the first podcast episode with music from Psygnosis games. The focus here is on music from their Amiga games, sometimes in their original MOD version, sometimes as remix. Some unreleased tunes are included, too.

Episode #151 - Turrican Special The classic "Turrican" games brought nonstop action to all gaming systems of the 80's and 90's (including the C64, Amiga, Atari ST and PC, as well as the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo). The beautiful synthesizer soundtracks for the series were created by Chris Huelsbeck, arguably one of today's most popular game music composers in the world. His music certainly played a major role in shaping "Turrican" into a digital legend over the years. Chris has recently announced plans to bring the cosmic warrior back from retirement, with the production of a "Soundtrack Anthology" - an epic limited edition box set of no less than four CDs, which will feature almost every melody from the saga in newly arranged and recorded versions! More information on this box set, which will only be available until June 3rd, 2012, can be found at www.turricansoundtrack.com. Almost two decades after the last "Turrican" title was released, BitJam pays tribute to these games and their wonderful music with a dedicated podcast episode. Featured tracks include remixes by Chris himself, as well as a selection of fan arrangements, handpicked by Huelsbeck and the co-producers of his "Turrican Soundtrack Anthology".

Episode #148 - Moby Special It's Sunday, the 29th! It's "Moby day" at BitFellas! Moby... Do we really have to explain who he is? In short: demoscene legend, famous videogame composer, true lover of hard guitar sounds. He recently published his second own album called Hijack with his band Plug-In, which delivers such an incredibly powerful and pleasant blast to the eardrums coupled with fine melodies that we just had to do an interview with him! We chatted with him not only about Hijack and video game music, but also asked him about his start in the demoscene, as well as chatted to him about some very special song experiments. That's not all for today, because we've prepared a nice podcast episode, a special "Moby special", for you, featuring some of the finest tracks, old and new, from Moby's demoscene history.

Episode #136 - The Immortal Podcast Immortal 4 enriches the world of computer game music, featuring remixes of the music from 35 Amiga games in newly arranged studio productions (German Report at .deMOSZENE). BitFellas pays tribute to the fantastic Immortal project and presents a selection of fine music from the Immortal CDs in BitJam Podcast #136, including a previously unreleased track. The acclaimed “Immortal” project started to take shape in the mind of Portuguese game music composer Ruben Monteiro in 1997. The idea behind this project was (and still is) to release the greatest soundtracks from games released for the Commodore Amiga computer on CD - newly arranged and recorded in the studio, but not necessarily in a chart-compatible way. Instead, the “Immortal” producers aim to work with the original artists whenever possible: Chris Hülsbeck, Allister Brimble, Bjorn Lynne, Barry Leitch, Jason Page, Tim Wright and many others contributed exclusive tracks in the past. As of April 2011, four volumes have been released in the “Immortal” series, featuring music from classic games such as Shadow of the Beast, Turrican, Speedball 2, Pinball Dreams, Wing Commander, Alien Breed, Lemmings, or Cannon Fodder.

Episode #112 - Atari 8 bit Music - Classics & Covers The soundchip of the Atari XL/XE computer wasn't necessarily regarded as its major strength. It got four channels, which made Atarians proud. Yet those four channels were of pretty little sound power. But this makes the classic tunes by Rob Hubbard, David Gilmore and others appear even more impressive. It is an amazing range of sound design, that those pioneers reached in the 80s already. But this was not the end of the story of the Atari 8-bit music. During the more recent years a lot of development has been made to reach a sound quality incomparable to what one would expect from the poor old Pokey - both from a composing and technically view: great compositions and covers, 8 channels stereo, filtering and more. Get an insight into the realm of Pokey with this compilation of Classics & Covers. Mixing, compiling and jingle by 505, logo #112 by KF

Episode #100 - Milestone - The Flow Flow theory: "… flow – the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it." (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, 1991) 100 is a cool number. Not as cool as 128 or 64, of course, but at least it looks like 64 in hex. Anyway. For most things, a 100th episode is a big step - a proof-of-concept, if you will. For us, it means that our podcast has been running for more than two years now on a weekly basis, and that people are still enjoying the noise they make when compiled into hourly blocks. Our hope is to do at least another 100 episodes, and that you all like it as much as you did the previous one - cheers! Oh, and we have a torrent including episode 51-100, cue files, banners, info, etc, etc... Mixing by Vincenzo, jingle by CONS, logo #100 by H2O, compiled by The BitFather

Episode #98 - Industrial and EBM Tracks Def.: Industrial Experimental music style, often including electronic music, that draws on transgressive and provocative themes. The premise behind creation of industrial music was to "pursue music in the context of the late industrial society, a dehumanized world increasingly alienated from nature" Def.: Electronic body music EBM or Industrial dance is a music genre that combines elements of industrial music and electronic dance music, characterized by hard and often sparse danceable electronic beats, clear undistorted vocals, shouts or growls with reverberation and echo effects, and repetitive sequencer lines. BitJam warning: Cold, hard and energetic sounds. NO softener included! (Definitions taken from wikipedia) Mixing by Vincenzo, jingle by CONS logo #98 by Ized

For long time, there have been rumours in print magazines about new machines coming up. Finally, in the autumn of 1992 new machines appeared on the horizon. Amiga 1200 and Atari Falcon 030 were their names. This was reason for so much joy, due to the new and faster 68020/68030 processor, unbelievable 16.7 million displayable colors and chrystal clear sound capabilities of 50khz. Virgin lands of state of the Art of technology waited to be explored. On the other side, some of us were in deep love with the good old and trusty Amiga 500 or Atari ST. And some of them were even a bit afraid, that the new machine may make everyone forget about their little brothers. Still, having both old and new at the same time induced a big push in creativity. Feel it again with this Podcast! Mixing by Vincenzo, jingle by Virgill, logo #91 by H2O, compiled by 505

An own creative and colorful world, nobody could disturb, with so much to discover on one single disk. The feelings back then are hard to describe, take this Podcast to get an idea what the taste of 1991 was about.

Episode #79 - Amiga Crack intro trax For too many of us, our first contact with what we later learned to be the demoscene, were the colorful little introductions that got tacked on the games we "found" for our first computers. We got used to the names in the logos, came to think of them as our friends, and found ourselves humming our favourite little tunes from the intros. This issue of the BitFellas podcast pays tribute to those pioneering, early steps in the demoscene evolution. So, close your eyes, take yourself back to that magical time, and... pop that imaginary cracked game disk in the floppy drive.

Episode #44 - Roland LAPC-I tunes The LAPC-I is an 8-bit ISA sound card for the IBM-PC, released by Roland in 1988. Containing the same technology of the Roland D-50, it allowed composers to create their own sounds at a much lower price. Being targetted towards home users, it was also supported in many MS-DOS games in the late 80s and early 90s. Unfortunately, most gamers couldn't afford one, so they missed out on superb music and were stuck with the cheaper Sound Blaster sound cards. This podcast has been put together to bring back the game music you once missed. Mixing by Vincenzo, jingle by Buzzer, logo #44 by KF, compiled by Sahkolihaa

Episode #41 - Barry's scene favourites Compiled by Barry Leitch, mixing by Vincenzo, logo #41 by KF Few people acknowledge how much the scene influenced the games of the era, and thus in turn the games influenced the scene. I've selected several pieces that over the years influenced me, pieces that I still have in my playlist and much to my wife and kids dissapointment play in the car. With such a wealth of material to pick from, a bank so much richer than the mainstream, please consider omissions merely due to my lack of space.

Episode #37 - Atari ST tunes During the period of 1989-1992, which one could call the peak of the classic Atari ST demoscene, a huge amount of ST-megademos were released. The were full of wobbling logos, flexible and entertaining scollers, dot effects, sprites, bobs, flat shaded 3d... and all that along with YM-chipmusic. The dominating musician back than was doubtlessly Mad Max beeing responsible for about 90% of the Atari demomusics in some way. Nevertheless quite an amount of other chipmusicians participated in the demproductions as well. Some of the heartpieces of all those musicians are compiled in this Podcast. For an Atari ST scener its likely a mix of very well known tunes and speaking personally, some of the tunes wake some really good old feelings in me still today. For other demosceners it might be a bit of a best-of-compile from those years - when three channels were an orchestra, 16 colors were enough for our oil-paintings and so many limits still had to be broken.

Episode #31 - Atari Falcon classics Back in 1992 the new Atari Falcon arrived. Its specifications like a Motorola 68030 CPU, True Color graphics, a DSP and high quality sound was a great new playground for demomakers.

This episode presents a selection of the music that came along with those colorful demowonders. Have a nice trip back into these lovely times. Mixing, compiling and jingles by 505, logo by H2O

Just For Fun, this was the motto of the long awaited online music competition, organized by www.scene.hu with Slyspy's leadership. The compo was a big success: 30 musicians entered.

Founded in 1999, Most Valuable Playaz (also knows as MVP or simply Mo'Playaz) was the cream of the crop when it came to drum'n'bass. Releasing mostly tracked modules, it has been a home for many nowadays big d'n'b names such as Muffler, Psidream, Krii aka Resound and Mad-E. When MVP went inactive in 2002, the scene lost one of the last quality tracking groups. Bitjam brings you a best-of Mo'Playaz special, exclusively mixed by labelhead tEiS and featuring the biggest MVP hits as well as unreleased material. Tune in, junglist!
