Right now, two-thirds of Paula is playing some music for us – tune in on the stream, or get inside if you're here!
A late welcome to Black Valley weekend!
Most people are checked in, and our stream is up, courtesy of our friends at @scenesat!
You can technically also watch on Twitch, but hey – Scenesat. They rule. Watch it there. https://scenesat.com/video/1
We're busy building the event, and we can't wait to welcome the hordes later! We open the hall just before 1600 hours, but you can always arrive earlier and hang out on the grass or put up your tents. Let's go!
We are having a Demoscene Village at Why 2025 in the Netherlands! https://wiki.why2025.org/Village:Demoscene
We don't have a tent yet but we have an offer for a 5x5 tent for 650 euros. If you are going to why and would like help towards the cost of the tent could you get in touch with @zeno4ever <3
Next week, we open the doors for Black Valley 2025.
We'll play you beautiful tunes, show you wonderous sights, make you smile, make you excited and the one little, tiny thing you need to do is get a ticket.
Don't have a ticket yet? We can give you one! In exchange for money.
Kode24 har skrevet litt om hva @kusma, @menacespb, @susencrusen, @Dozer og jeg driver med andre helga i juli hvert år.

Black Valley is made by a small group of people, all lending their time and expertise to putting together our lovely gathering.
We ask that you are patient with us during the event, so we can best put our efforts into making everything awesome. And so that none of you get eaten.
Hack the planet or get eaten trying...
@hackeriet has prepared a CTF for you guys at Black Valley! Real hacking, beginner-friendly challenges - your braaaains will be required. Whether you're new to CTFs or deep in the game, there might be one or more flags with your name on it!
faRk used to record music from Amiga games on a cassette player as a kid and quickly discovered Protracker and eventually Fasttracker 2 on PC - all which inspired his style of music.
He released an album https://fark.bandcamp.com/album/utelat a few years back as a result — and also made an animated short movie, ALSO inspired by said music and demoscene, Amiga memories, Pikselhjerte

These days, he dabbles in modern Daws and the trusty M8 Tracker from Dirtywave for composing sweet chiptunes.
At Black Valley, he will DJ a varied blend of both old melodic demoscene classics mixed with modern tunes and remixes of old games, filling our lounge area with sweet nostalgia. Welcome!
We were told in no uncertain terms that @lug00ber was playing, as is tradition. Mildly intimidated, we could do nothing but bow our heads and comply. All hail lug00ber, breaker of beats.
We repeatedly told Henning and Hans, "det holder!" but they just won't listen.
So, by unpopular demand – they're back! But – on Friday night, they won't be in the back, but rather up front!
Expect silly kicks, stupid samples, pointless breaks, and preposterous mixing. If you are not convinced yet, listen to https://soundcloud.com/phobium/henning-hans-spiller-opp-til-dans-pa-blaker-samfunnshus-1 and you'll understand what we mean – DET HOLDER!
Henning & Hans spiller opp til dans!

Just one day left of the earlybird price, so if you want to be part of the zombie resistance, but at a discount — don't wait!
Price goes up from 500 to 800, so there's quite a savings.
The Walking Dead-line is naow! https://fienta.com/black-valley-2025
The Sound of the Undead Chips: Paula – Live! Amiga music like you've never heard it before.
Paula resurrects iconic Amiga game and cracktro tracks with explosive live covers. Featuring Slumgud, Greippi, and Teddy Slacks, this trio channels pure retro firepower.
Expect legendary riffs, the debut of Amiga Lives!, and maybe even a rare physical release… if you survive the night.
This isn’t just nostalgia – it’s a love letter to the machine that won’t stay buried.
The Compos Rules have been overhauled! Your best weapon to defend against the zombies and avoid losing! Same fierce competitions as last year, but we’ve dropped the fantasy console challenge.
Ready to fight for your place? Check the rules and gear up!
Rules are now live
Camp Back Alley is over… but the threat is still lurking out there.
We came. We tested. We survived. Barely!
Now we finish securing the valley – the last safe zone. In a few weeks, the undead will rise. And when they do… you'd better be inside the gates.
Tickets are still available. Find your way to the Valley - before they get you!
The dead won’t stay dead! Only one thing stands between you and the swarm!
Two weeks left to join the final shipment of this year’s party shirts. Early-bird prices? Also disappearing into the mist...
Secure your gear now!
He is back for the groove! Crawling straight outta the crypt and into your eardrums... Phobium rises once again in the Black Valley Lounge! Between demos and dead air, he’ll be spinning from chillaxing to bone-chilling beats to keep your spirit wandering. Lurking in the lounge all weekend - when there’s no program, there’s Phobium!
Get your tickets now… before they vanish into the mist.

Preparations are in full swing. The party hall and stage got a fresh coat of paint, new lights, and so much more. We can't wait to fill the hall with all of you!
So go and get your tickets and t-shirts before it's too late!
Come join me in July to celebrate digital creativity in its fullest at @demoparty_no!
If you wonder what a demoparty or the demoscene is, the following talk by @Lambdacore from @revisionparty this year will get you up to speed!
Hope to see you there!
