ABC80 INVITRO
A new spankin’ fresh Datastorm invitro was just released for the ABC80-computer. Made by Shadow and Mermaid of Genesis Project, it won the other platform compo at Gubbdata 2017 down in Swedish Texas. Yeah, so ABC80 was a Swedish computer that was launched in 1978, and as you can see this 39 year old bad girl is still delivering the goods!
BRAND NEW BBS DOCUMENTARY

The producers of a BBS-documentary will be at DATASTORM to shoot some new material. Take this opportunity to shine and set the records straight! It’s a professional project that will be shown at national Swedish television SVT, among other places. So if you have spectacular or crazy stories to share, please get in touch with Simon Klose (s at klo dot se). Previously Simon has made documentaries about food hacking for VICE, dat famous Pirate Bay-documentary, among many other things.
ZABUTOM LIVE

One of the scene’s most versatile, playful and skilled composers will grace us with a fresh live set at DATASTORM! Zabutom has published countless compo winners, demoscene soundtracks and records over the years. But few people know that his work folders are more crowded than South East Asia. And his recent excursions with vintage synthesizers and modern samplers, are pretty mindblowing. Maybe we’ll get to hear some of that at DATASTORM? Only one way to find out…
THE LEGENDARY BARON
He is one of earliest and most influential Amiga sceners in Sweden and in the world, but few people have heard about his countless adventures. It’s time to change that! The Baron/Defjam will talk about the very early years of Amiga hacking, BBS culture, and was it something about hacking a satellite to get PD-programs??? Big welcome to The Baron!
THE PARTY ARCHIVES
All the old sites are resurrected from the dead, complete with releases, galleries, news and forums.

OP-ERATION FAR EAST

Hot on the heels of Demotronic, an Up Rough techno megamix and last years afterhours disco sensation, Optiroc of 1.000.000 BOYS arrives at DATASTORM with a crate of obscure music from the FM-chip equipped home computers of Japan. Expect a meandering journey through the sounds of X1, MSX, PC-98, FM Towns and X68000 – the Spectrum, C64 and Amiga equivalents in the land of the rising sun.
GGS DATA
Like every year, Gunne from GGS-Data will be present selling hot gear for your Amiga and your C64!
Bring a big pile of cash!
Visit his onlinestore here!
FUCK WINTER

It has come to our attention that a clarification is in order…
There will be no more winter edition of DATASTORM.
It’s strictly a summer fling from now on.
WE GOT S-VIDEO!
Pipe will be present with his S-Video kits as usual.
Either you buy one off him or you slide him some more cash and let him solder it in place.
