🎙 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.

91. Forndata Summer 2022

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.

51. God help me, it's Jumalauta 2021!
Jumalauta 2021 is over and brought 15 contestants to the tracked music demo scene. All parties have their style and Jumalauta had a rather informal feel to the music. Some is seriously crafted with nice chords and heavy beats, whereas others are just joking around. The winner really took some liberties with the concept of jazz and one entry featured a tire pump. So, it’s not like any demo party. But it is jumalauta!
-
49. Between Arok and a hard place
Arok Party 2021 is over and the autumn season is now inaugurated. A strong line up with 15 awesome remixes and 5 great C64 tracked tunes, coming directly from the compos. This has been great and DJ Daemon goes through the list that contains a weird Thriller-esque remix, someone trying to start his car and some real sweet soft tracks.
-
43. Edison party 2021, a bright idea indeed

36. Forndata 2021 gets medieval on your arse
Forndata 2021 Summer is over and brought a lot of joy to the demoworld from Visby in Sweden. It was off course online only, but presented demo-, C64- and tracked music compos as you’d expect from a true demo party. The start was on time and there were few problems until the OctaMed-tune from heck just would play and was disqualified. The line up was good and the tunes were all up to the standard you’d expect from them. The interviews were quite unique with Swedish minister of digitilization, Anders Ygeman and legendary Commodore techs Bil Herd and Dave Haynie. We also got a really nice live interview with Chris Huelsbeck, the tracked music god of sorts.

34. Liberty, equality and tracker music
From France comes the Shadow party 2021 and between 2021-05-21 and 2021-05-23 the virtual doors opened for a brand new demo party.

But we know now:The winners:1) TDTTDHAD – The Demo Track That Didn’t Have A Demo – CS-Jay / Desire ^ Persuasive Music & Slide / Polka Brothers2) Evolution / Ma2e and Aceman3) Brightstar – Mystra / Brainstorm & Nectarine (Amiga 4-channels)
