The year is 2017. The place, a small village in North-West Slovakia. The event, a long-running 8 bit only demoparty that goes by the name of Forever. It took place last weekend and all the ZX Spectrum/C64/Atari 8bit/PMD 85/ZX 81/Thomson/Sam Coupé/GameBoy releases and results are now available.
Familiar beeps and blops were heard in Berlin last weekend as C64-focused party BCC was taking place. A fair amount of activity was observed and all subsequent releases are available right here.
Held in 1996 and organized by Gaffer^PRoMETHEUS this online compo was all about the classic fire effect. Even if the effect evolved since then in terms of size and quality some of the releases are quite nice - and only some clicks away. So check them out :)

The organizers behind the C64 party Zoo just launched a brandnew website for their upcoming 2017 edition in september! Go check it out, start polishing your entries, and book some flights to Finland :)
Last weekend saw a venerable demoparty rise from its grave and shine again in Bratislava, Slovakia. The previous edition of Demobit goes indeed all the way back to 2001. Attendance and activity seem to have been really nice, so hopefully we won't have to wait 16 years for the next occurrence! The results are now known but we're still eagerly awaiting for most of the releases. Investigating. [Edit: releases are in now]
We're always happy to see demoscene activity in North America and last weekend delivered with Synchrony II being held in Montréal, Canada. The results are now available and just a click away (see below). Productions are trickling in, but we're hoping for their official release soon.
edit: Releases are on scene.org now!
