Amiga on the big stage: Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding at the BRIT Awards
Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has been one of the driving forces in the world of electronic music for years. Back in 2017, the Scottish DJ revealed his enthusiasm for the Amiga and the music production of his albums on an Amiga 1200 (amiga-news.de reported). Now he brought his Amiga 1200, freshly upgraded by English Amiga specialist RetroPassion, live to the big stage: At this year's legendary BRIT Awards, which are comparable to the US Grammy Awards, Harris performed together with pop icon Ellie Goulding. His Amiga 1200 with OctaMED SoundStudio made for an unmistakable sound. A recording of the performance can be seen on YouTube and a "Behind the Scenes" clip on Instagram. (nba)

Retro Computer Festival 2024 to be held on 13 and 14 April in Paderborn
The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum in Paderborn is the largest computer museum worldwide and a vibrant venue for events. The 6,000 square metre exhibition space presents 5,000 years of the history, present and future of information technology, from the emergence of numbers and writing in 3,000 BC to the computer age of the 21st century.
On 13 and 14 April, the Retro Computer Festival 2024 will take place at the HNF, jointly organised by the HNF and the Dortmund Retro Computer Treffen. Retro computers spanning from the C64 and Ataris to the Amiga and many other long-forgotten hardware and software can be experienced live on this day. Over 50 exhibitors are expected, who will not only present their treasures, but will also be happy to exchange ideas with visitors and give tips on repairs. The main theme of this RCF is the graphical user interface, which was first available 50 years ago on the Xerox Alto. In addition to the exhibition, lectures and workshops will also be offered. Admission to the entire HNF is free on Saturday and Sunday. (nba)
