The Toilet + Goto80 – Machines don’t picnic remix
Fuk the borders Bangface edition contains The Toilet’s fabulizimous rework of Machines don’t cry. It seems like a pretty great compilation with artists such as Hexadeci, Melt unit, Baseck, Fat frumos, Toecutter, Captain raveman and many others.
New ASCII stuff
I released a new ASCII colly at Revision (the biggest demo party around) and it came in 2nd place in the ASCII/ANSI/PETSCII compo. Watch on asciiarena.se.
Commodore Grooves videos
Data Airlines has just re-issued Commodore Grooves, and that made me think about videos and demos. Here’s a few of them that includes music from the album.
This Triad demo uses Raymond, and was released in 2001.
This video was made by Entter using the cassette-based video camera PXL-2000.
The Fantasy-video was released in 2004, in ye ancient times before video streaming and Youtube was a thing. Entter hosted the video on their servers, but didn’t really anticipate that it would become so popular. It was downloaded about 20,000 times I think, which created so much traffic that they had to pay a huge fee to the providers. In the end it worked out well, though. Funny how the cost of video has changed over the years..
Ull8 was used in one of the parts of the C64-demo 10 Strong Years. It was released to celebrate 10 years of Hack n’ Trade (the demogroup I founded) but it was delayed a few years. Besides, it later turned out that HT was not formed in 1993 as I always thought, but actually in 1994. Anyway.
At that time I worked a lot with Hollowman, first with his Triad-demos and then his demos for Fairlight. Pretending To See The Light uses Slobban.
Finally, this bad boy was featured as a video on the data part of the CD. It was made by Jens Nirme, who I lived with at the time.
Commodore Grooves anniversary edition
My debut album Commodore Grooves is now 18 years old! To celebrate, Data Airlines has made a limited edition anniversary cassette. There are still a few CDs available if you’re after a more modern format. ^__^

Skybox nominated for Meteoriks
Skybox, the C64-demo in PETSCII that Extend made with my music, has been nominated in the Meteoriks 2023. That’s the yearly awards for all things demoscene. I don’t think I’ve ever worked on something that was nominated, so that’s cool. It’s good that some stuff a bit off the beaten path can get some attention as well, hehe.
Riparian by Hack n’ Trade
V/A: 20y20k (20kbps rec)
20y20k is a 20 year celebration of 20kbps rec, a steadfast point to return to while online music continues to deteriorate. Their website is exactly the same today as it was back then, and that works just fine.
Anyway, this compilation features classic 20kbps artists such as Jimmy Slaughter, Starpause, The Hardliner, Overthruster, Atarix, Origami Repetika, Sascha Müller, me and many more.
Old releases popping up
If you are following me on Bandcamp, you’ve seen that I’m re-publishing a lot of old releases there. Just now I did Wet Pulse, for example.
