Top 50 Tracker Mods — 2023 to 2026
The finest tracked music from the demoscene — demoparty compo winners, standouts & essential releases

Tracked music — MOD, XM, IT, S3M — has never gone away. Between 2023 and 2026 the scene has produced some of its finest work in decades. We have trawled through three years of results files from Revision, Assembly, Breakpoint, Function, Inércia, and others, plus releases from ModArchive, SceneSat, and pouet.net. Links go to scene.org, ModArchive, demozoo, pouet, or the artist’s Bandcamp wherever available.
Formats: MOD = Amiga ProTracker/NoiseTracker • XM = FastTracker II • IT = Impulse Tracker • S3M = ScreamTracker 3

DOT-STAR.EXE
— MASTER BOOT RECORD
XM • 1st place, 482pts • Revision 2026
Master Boot Record’s second consecutive Revision tracked music win (following E1M777 in 2025) demonstrates quite how dominant this act has become at demoparties.

Download: scene.org/revision26 • Stream: Revision 2026 tracked music compo on YouTube.
02
Everything’s Computer!

XM • 2nd place, 479pts • Revision 2026
A mere 3 points behind the winner. Romeo Knight is one of the most respected names in the tracked music scene — melodic, technically immaculate, and consistently charming. This second-place finish at Revision 2026 is another landmark entry in a long career. scene.org.

— MASTER BOOT RECORD & Dubmood / Razor 1911
XM • 1st place, 668pts • Revision 2025
The collaboration between MASTER BOOT RECORD’s DOS-metal machine-music and Dubmood’s chiptune-adjacent precision won Revision 2025 comfortably with 668 points — a margin that speaks for itself. The E1M naming (a DOOM level reference) fits perfectly with MBR’s digital-warfare aesthetic. A landmark tracked music moment. scene.org • MBR announcement.

09
Surveillance
— Hoffman & Daytripper
XM • 1st place, 762pts • Revision 2024
762 points — one of the highest-scoring tracked music entries at Revision in recent history. H0ffman (of Andromeda Software Development / ASD) is one of the most celebrated composers in the entire demoscene, and this collaboration with Daytripper is every bit as accomplished as his legendary back catalogue. Cinematic, emotionally resonant, pristine mixing. scene.org.
10
Track Tracking
— zabutom & dubmood / Razor 1911
XM • 2nd place, 707pts • Revision 2024
The same duo that would return to win Revision 2025 together. A masterclass in collaborative tracked music — zabutom’s chiptune precision and dubmood’s acid-inflected game music aesthetic merge seamlessly. scene.org.

13
Return
— Bacter & Saga Musix
IT • 4th place, 666pts • Revision 2024
Joint 4th (exactly 666 points, same as Space is the Place). This bacter/Saga Musix collaboration — which prefigures their 2025 Sunny Sight — is a tightly emotional IT track that rewards careful listening. scene.org.
14
Yoru no Koe
— AceMan / Resistance^Dreamweb^Agenda
XM • 6th place, 646pts • Revision 2024
Yoru no Koe (Night Voice) is a Japanese-influenced atmospheric XM with beautiful melodic phrasing and restrained, emotional arrangement. AceMan is a reliable top-10 Revision competitor and this is among his finest entries. scene.org.
15
Can Your AI Do This

19
Keep It Tight

A collaboration between Amiga legend Jogeir Liljedahl and scene newcomer-turned-prolific-composer Turbo Knight. Mixed by WEVPON, mastered by Van Derand.

24
Rise Of The Chipman (2025 Rework)
— Turbo Knight
XM • 2025
Turbo Knight revisits one of his most beloved tracks with a full rework. If you only know Turbo Knight from the Revision results, his Bandcamp (turboknight.bandcamp.com) is a treasure trove of chiptune-adjacent electronic music delivered in XM format. Highly recommended.

IT • 5th place, 531pts • Revision 2025

28
Vita De Novo
— Jogeir Liljedahl
XM • Sound of SceneSat Vol. 7 • 2023
Track 1 on the Sound of SceneSat Volume 7 (released September 2023). Jogeir’s presence opening the compilation is entirely earned. Vita De Novo is a study in melodic efficiency — warm, alive, and timeless. Buy the album: SceneSat Bandcamp.
29
Samsara
— W.O.T.W.
XM • 7th place, 516pts • Revision 2025

MOD • 8th place, 501pts • Revision 2025
Subi’s third top-10 Revision finish across three years. Another Amiga MOD from a musician who has made the platform’s musical constraints feel like a creative advantage rather than a limitation. scene.org.
31
Bingo Nights
— Altiga

32
the flow
— teo

33
Coffee at Morning
— SoDa7
XM • 14th place, 564pts • Revision 2024
Do not be fooled by 14th place — at Revision 2024 that still means 564 points. SoDa7’s track is a morning-light acoustic-tinged XM that feels like exactly what the title promises. A quiet gem in the full results. scene.org.
34
Snowflake
— Mark Vera
XM • 3rd place • Instanssi 2026
Mark Vera’s Instanssi 2026 entry placed 3rd, behind only DarkGroove (pumpuli/ivory, 1st) and Apex (Van Derand x Turbo Knight x Wevpon, 2nd). A characteristic blend of warm synth pads and intricate melody. Listen/buy: Bandcamp.
35
Fireworks
— Alex Menchi
XM • 13th place, 580pts • Revision 2024
Alex Menchi is an Italian scene musician known for cinematic, wide-screen XM productions. Fireworks at 580pts for 13th place is another reminder of how deep the Revision 2024 field ran. scene.org.

41
saint lager
— laamaa
XM • 12th place, 591pts • Revision 2024

Home Brew Releases since 2018-2026
|
Future Retro Fusion Update • May 2026
Amiga Homebrew / PD-Style Games Since 2018
A Future Retro Fusion-built master list — not a database mirror
|
This is our own Future Retro Fusion working index of modern Amiga homebrew, freeware, pay-what-you-want, fan-port, preserved, jam, demo and public-domain-style releases from 2018 onward. It is built for the Amiga sphere: OCS/ECS, AGA, CD32-adjacent builds, WHDLoad-friendly community releases, itch.io projects, Aminet-style drops, Scorpion Engine games, RedPill/AMOS/Blitz projects and recovered scene releases. The goal is not to send people to a single database, but to give readers a directly useful discovery page with source/developer links beside each game.
Scope: 102 entries, 2018–2026. Commercial-only titles are flagged where they appear as scene reference points; the core list favours free, NYOP, demo, fan-port and PD-style releases.
Source style: matched to the Future Retro Fusion article palette: dark brown header, red left rail, gold year bars, parchment body, blue links.
Source approach: IndieRetroNews, itch.io developer pages/collections, GenerationAmiga, Aminet-style community release trails, EAB/project pages and direct developer sites. This version uses direct developer/source links wherever possible, rather than sending readers back to one database.

IndieRetroNews,
LemonAmiga,
GenerationAmiga,
English Amiga Board, and
Aminet
to bring you fifty of the most significant. Every release is free or pay-what-you-want unless marked ◆ COMMERCIAL. Please support the developers — the Amiga scene runs entirely on passion.
Ordered roughly by community impact and quality, not release date. Year in brackets. All links verified May 2026.
