103. The last enthusiasts from up north
Svenska Commodoreklubben (SCK) held a great retro-event in Täby in northern Stockholm in Sweden between the 26 - 28th of August 2022. It held a fantastic museum, a repair shop, a quiz held by Frida Katarina, the online meeting "Sen kväll med Commodoreklubben" and ericade.radio did a live broadcast.Huge thanks to Hravnkel, Björn A, Bjonte, PataG, Hedgewizard, Per G, Frida Katarina and all the other people making the retro-scene the place to be!We did a live broadcast during the most of the Friday, but had to cut it short on Saturday due health-issues on my part. But still, we got a lot of stuff to talk about. And the music is a fresh addition to the station and mostly very soft and mellow as it feels right. Enjoy!The link: commodore.se/about-us/ (Mostly in Swedish)ErrataI said that the Amiga 500 came out in 1997. I misspoke. It was in 1987. My bad.

What a computer! The legendary C64. In August of 2022, it celebrates 40 years of being the one computer we all remember fondly. That’s right, Commodore launched it in August of 1982. The same year as the war in the Falklands and Michael Jackson’s thriller.DJ Daemon talks about the C64. The music is mostly fantastic remakes of old C64 game tunes.

Episode 100! From December 2020 until today, it's been quite a ride. But no need to get all misty eyed about it. DJ Daemon instead spends this hour exploring two tracker music oddities: the AHX and HVL formats.So expect more chiptunes today, as both those formats were born to excel in that way.

Shadow party 2022 ended last Sunday and brings a rather meager list of tunes. But we get three great streamed ones and two tracked that, alas, are not up to standard for this station.

91. Forndata Summer 2022
Forndata Summer 2022 started at 6 pm and went on until midnight. It was scaled back due to few people wanting to attend in person. But it went live on Twitch instead and was everything we come to expect from it. DJ Daemon plays the two contestant song and then talks about the interviews and the future for Forndata.This show was broadcast before the demoparty ended and thus we cannot talk about every part of it.We now have the toplist places:1. 106 pts Mirakelkur – krdn / defiance2. 73 pts st-svarup jedi 2 – adkd / artstateNote: I wrongly say that ADKD is part of Defiance. That’s incorrect, he is part of Artstate.

90. Modarchive, hit me one more time!
Modarchive.org has a small, but active community that makes sure tracked music is saved for posterity.

89. In loving memory of Vangelis
Vangelis. The man behind Chariots of fire, Conquest of Paradise and the music in Bladerunner has left us. On the 17th of May, he concluded his work leaving it to posterity. DJ Daemon celebrates the man by simply playing songs from tracked music artists that clearly must have been inspired by him.An apologyThis podcast differs from the original broadcast in that the tune "Syndrom land" by MAF has been removed. Some listeners took offence as it was out of place in a remembrance program. I apologize for this lapse in judgement and this part of the program has now been remade.

GERP 2022 was held in Skövde in Sweden and presented most of what you want of from a demoparty when it comes to music. You got chiptunes and modtunes off course.

Great music, with many fit for platform games that never were.DJ Daemon wryly talks about the different tunes and what he thinks about them.

80. An evening with an electric DJ Daemon
Tired due to a heavy work weekend and in a need for some silly fun! So, that’s what’s up for dinner on this show. We only eat the dessert today.

"Just one more turn" has been the bane of students, people with work in the morning and anyone looking for some sleep.
