Rebels - the band of badboys give you an almanach: memories of a decade, our finest ingredients. After 20 years of rebelling, making demoscene productions, being one of the oldest scenegroups, we are still here. We give you a little piece of our history in chronological order. Rebels - We Make All Days Partydays!

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!

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. This is a nice summary, because the hungarian demoscene is small (around ~250ppl nowadays). This podcast will guide you trough the entries in "Viva chartshow style", starting from the last placed song to the first. Have fun! Mixed by Vincenzo, logo #15 by Zoom

Switzerland isn't just the known for cheese-holes, gold-bullions, watches and chocolate, but also for being the origin country of the demoscene group Brainstorm. Now being a completely international team, Brainstorm doesn't always take itself too seriously and relentlessly keeps injecting some humour into the scene. In this podcast Bitjam is taking a journey through parts of the group's archives, ranging from ZINE to Chillosophy, Cui-Zine, Rhino Discharge, Fairytale and more. This podcast also features an exclusive brand new track by Scott.

Episode #19 - Drum and bass part 2 Once again we present some tracked drum'n'bass music from the 1990s - and this time it's about two trackinggroups: Theralite from Hungary and Rebound from Finland. Both hosted some big artists, in terms of demoscene credit as well as later "reallife" d'n'b status. So here we go with some big tunes - speed up and headbang with us again in the second Drum and Bass podcast episode! Mixing and jingle by Vincenzo, compiled by Dipswitch, logo #19 by KF

Episode #20 - 20 years of scenemusic This episode is a homage to the last 20 years of demoscene music - one tune from each year from 1987 until 2007. Please note that the year of the demo was used rather than the year the tune was made, for example Physical Presence was made in 1993 but FLT^VD - Love was released in 1994. Also as this is episode #20 we would like to thank all who have supported us with their own podcasts and given us ideas and feedback. Thanks to Alecs^BRS for his help!

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

Bitfellas proudly presents: Merregnon! Merregnon is a soundtrack CD project for which renowned composers from the game industry contribute brand-new titles. By writing orchestral music the artists tell a story taking place in a newly created fantasy-universe.

They, and a number of many more music veterans, have signed on to work on this album trilogy, whose atmosphere will additionally be nourished with impressions and pictures from the richly decorated booklets.

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. Selection and mixing by 505, logo #37 by H2O and Brainbox

Episode #38 - Fighting tunes Martial Arts has been a fascination for many composers working within the demoscene, as well as the subject of many classic game soundtracks. It seemed only fitting then, that we should dedicate an episode of the podcast to these tunes - some with an oriental feel, some that just kicks your ass. Enjoy! Mixing by Vincenzo, logo #38 by KF

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 #43 - SIDs You Thought They Were Not - Multispeed tunes This is a "downloadable only" podcast episode. No radio, no airing on sunday...

We collected and mixed some high quality multispeed sids for this episode, enjoy listening and have fun! Mixing and jingle by Vincenzo, logo #43 by Sander

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
