🎙 Flashback, tracks from the past
We have covered the demo scene since 2020, and play all the great chip tune music as well. Join us to hear tracked music combined with commentary from the geek-of-all-trades: DJ Daemon. He was once known as Daemon in the Amigaworld, and brings you stories about Amiga, retrocomputing, C64, demos, the demo scene and all things nerdy in the retro world.
We play tracker music composed on Protracker, Screamtracker, Fasttracker and Impulsetracker. It's music composed on Amiga and the retro-PC. Genres such as Chiptune, Synthwave and Retro electro.

10. The doctor's in and remixed
Dr Awesome is a staple here, but today’s podcast plays the remixes that you don’t get to hear on the station otherwise. For one hour we reimagine his old Amiga modules with modern synthesizers and the effects to match. Not much to say, but a lot to experience. Best heard on high volume or with a decent set of head phones at a comfortable level (don’t damage your hearing!!).The remixes are by the good doctor himself, because who would be better to improve already stellar songs?

8. The XMAS 2020 special, special, speciality. Hour 3/3.
Xmas time! This is the three hour long show that we’ve been waiting for. Broadcast during the Forndata-event, it features some commentaries from me finally losing the battle to Whamming, the cool weirdness that was the demos released and a lot of discussions about the CDTV and the CD32. Those two ultimately failing Commodore projects with vastly different starting points. Why did they fail and what was different and what was exactly the same?The first hour deals with the Forndata event and stuff like that.The second hour is all about the CDTV and it’s weird journey.The third hour gives you the CD32 – Commodore’s last hurrah.Errata: I claimed that if I gotta Whammed, I would cut the power to the whole building. When that unexpectedly DID happen, I failed to live up to my threat. Very sorry, but I don’t want to have a call from my landlord. It’s bad for my “having a home”-situation.In hour two, PlayIt live deleted two voicetracks. I was able to fix it live, but ended up not knowing what I had said that was not deleted and therefore name some hardware facts twice. Sorry about that.

7. JUST TAKING IT CHILL
Today we’re just lounging and remember the first times. It was magical the first time you felt her in your hand. … What are you thinking about?? I mean the Amiga and the C64! DJ Daemon speaks about the first time seeing a module played on Noisetracker and when he directed Seagreen BBS users to his BBS. And then, the question is how you shouldn’t really wear a mask in Corona times. Obviously it’s just a thing we have to get used to. Random thoughts and some really nice tunes.

You fought the good fight! The baddies are dead and blown to smithereens and the fair maiden is by your side throwing ever loving glances at you. And then? “Conga-rats a winner is you. The princess is in another castell”. The message drives you to the wall. “I fought 30 hours for this!!! WTF!!!!”.”

1. A prequel better than the Phantom Menace
The “pilot” or pre-sequel-whatever. The show that started the wild idea of having another podcast. Because we need one… Or do we?I did not know it would really become a podcast later, so it had no name really. Just felt like making a voicetracked show for no apparent reason . Coreus from Retro Spirit suggested I started a Podcast, so I did… All later episodes correctly bear the name “Amiga Flashback”.
