Summer is here! To celebrate I turned off the A/C, closed all the windows and sat down to bring you yet another electic mix of C64 remixes and chiptunes. Apologies in advance for the sound quality on my speaking parts. I was forced to relocate to a different part of the house, and that turned out to be less than ideal. Stream this episode: Download…

On the final day of the 8-Bit Symphony Pro kickstarter, at 83% funded with little under 5 hours left on the clock, I posted a message on twitter saying: “If the 8-Bit Symphony Pro kickstarter funds, I solemnly vow to create at least two episodes of the #C64 Take-away before 2019 comes to an end. Think of it as crowdfunding the podcasts with all the…

Introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 1982, and available to the public in August of 1982 – it’s everyone’s favourite computer: The C64. To coincide with the “C64 Month” campaign (Twitter + Facebook), here’s my contribution in the form of a new episode of the C64 Take-away. As usual the mix consists of a set of great chiptunes and …

Ho-ho-ho! Christmas comes a few days early this year. After passing my project manager exam on December 13th, I cleared the mountain of books and papers off my desk and started preparing this episode. In honour of this being the 50th show(!) here’s almost an hours worth of sonic delight – five remixes and five chiptunes, carefully selected for your…

Greetings programmes! After another massive delay caused by too much going on at work, causing me to relax (among other things) in front of the Xbox rather than sit down in front of the microphone every month or two, here’s the first episode of 2011(!). Hopefully making up for the radio silence with nine carefully selected tunes – including not one…

In return for your patience with my completely erratic publishing schedule here is a little something for your Christmas stocking. Sadly, the (huge) delay is partly caused by the podcast going back to its single-host roots, as Makke has had to cancel his co-host gig. That being said, here’s eight carefully selected tunes that should put a smile on …

Just in time for Christmas, Makke and Jan skip an obvious opportunity to pour themselves a generous helping of glühwein. Instead they get all serious (well, not really), and cook up a delicious Commodore 64 styled music burger for you: Two Christmas tunes make up the bun, a solitary SID chiptune provides the dressing, and between it a solid slab of…

Just when you thought the C64 Take-away was back on a regular schedule, Makke and Jan go and mess it up again – this time blaming it on being extremely busy at work. To make things better, the lads provide you with the longest show so far, clocking in at just over an hours worth of C64 SIDs, remixes, and a couple of off-topic memories – including o…

Holy rapid release schedule, Batman! Another C64 Take-away already? Makke and Jan are back to entertain you with even more carefully selected C64 SIDs and remixes – including an 8-bit tribute to the man who came up with the moonwalk, and a trip back to the early days of remixing. Also, we talk about the BBC tuning into the chiptune/remix scene, and…

Makke is back for another co-hosted episode, coming at you from cloudy Malmö, Sweden.

Okay, so you’ve waited patiently for a new episode to come out before. But never this long. Tune in to hear what could possibly distract me from producing an episode for over four months (hint: it involves lots of people, a church, and saying "I do!"). Plus news, feedback, and the usual funky fry up of SIDs and remixes. Stream this episode: Downloa…

Just when you thought it was safe to unsubscribe, the C64 Take-away is back to serve you another nutritious audio fry up.

Told you the C64 Take-away would be back in February, didn’t I? The first show for 2008 features a bit of catch-up on what’s been happening in the world of C64 related music – including two new album releases, a hardware gizmo that will let you musician types use that sweet SID sound in your work, and a couple of upcoming live concerts. Plus of cou…

Time for another irregularly scheduled dose of the best remixes out there.

On the afternoon of March 4th 2007, veteran composer Richard Joseph passed away, after a short battle with lung cancer.
