The phrase Stranger Things SID is making noise in the Commodore 64 music community this November. Hokuto Force, a well-known group in the C64 world, has just released their take on the popular Stranger Things theme. Fans of both the show and the computer get something unique: a fusion of modern synth nostalgia and retro SID chip flavor.
New Energy for a Modern Classic
On November 18, 2025, Hokuto Force dropped their Stranger Things SID remix. They call it “Stranger SIDs,” but you will recognize the tune from the opening moments. DJ Space, known from both Angels and Hokuto Force, brings the soundtrack to life with his signature SID work. Majikeyric handles the code, while DJ Space also contributes the visuals, giving the package both polish and personality.
What Makes This Remix Stand Out
This is not a simple conversion. The Stranger Things SID remix takes advantage of the C64’s strengths. The graphics are fresh, with pixel art nods to the iconic show. The code makes playback smooth, and the music arrangement keeps the energy high. Fans get more than a basic cover—they get a complete experience designed for hardware from the eighties, yet relevant in 2025.
Where to Find the Release
The Stranger Things SID remix is available now through the CSDb release page. Anyone with a C64 or emulator can try it, share it, and even tinker with it, thanks to the group’s open spirit. If you enjoy clever musical reinterpretations and creative coding, this one is well worth a listen.
