**Jeroen Tel**
Jeroen Tel, one of the true legends of the Commodore 64 era, finally returns to Back In Time Live! As a founding member of Maniacs of Noise, he created some of the most memorable game soundtracks of the 80s and early 90s, including Cybernoid, Myth, Supremacy and Robocop 3.
His signature mix of melody, rhythm and technical wizardry pushed the SID chip to its limits and defined what game music could be. Today he continues to perform, remix and inspire new generations of retro and chiptune artists worldwide.
**Fastloaders**
The amazing C64/Amiga tribute band from Bergen, Norway, whose mission is to deliver stunning rock remakes of classic computer game music! Known for their powerful stage presence and authentic renditions, Fastloaders are the beating heart of Back In Time events.
**Fluke73 aka RetroGamingMusic**
Tony “Fluke73” Wirén is a live video-game music performer and long-time Amiga enthusiast. Since the late ’80s he has been deeply involved with Commodore music and the demoscene, performing at events such as Pågadata 2025 (Sweden), Moderskeppet Cruise 2024 (Sweden–Finland), and previous Back In Time events — including Bergen 2023.
Through his RetroGamingMusic YouTube channel, Tony has streamed over 300 live shows and released more than 100 remixes, earning recognition from Remix64 with awards such as Best Newcomer (3rd place, 2022) and Achievement of the Year (2023).
**Karstein Djupdal**
We are proud to welcome Karstein Djupdal, a pianist, composer and music teacher living in Bodø, Northern Norway. He grew up with the Commodore 64 as a home computer and game machine.
Karstein:
"I abandoned the computer interest and embarked on an education in classical piano and composition in Kristiansand, Oslo and the Netherlands. But the interest in the C64 didn't disappear.
A big part of what made those games great was the music. When I arranged and played some of the C64 music as classical piano pieces, I discovered how well some of that music transferred to the piano."

DJ jor-el got his first Commodore 64 at age 12 and has been part of the retro community for over 36 years. A few years later he moved on to the Amiga, creating MIDI and tracker music, and he still believes games were better back in the day, even though he now develops modern ones professionally.
Active in Syntax Error and the demoscene for around a decade, his most notable performances include Moderskeppet 2, 3 and Moderskeppet Gaming, as well as streamed shows for Revision and Lovebyte. He has also performed at Tech Noir Svart Lucia, Subkult Promo Party at Kollektivet Livet, numerous Syntax Error events and several Halloween parties.
