🎙 Flashback, tracks from the past

Artwork for the Flashback, tracks from the past podcast

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.

    35. Dial a pirate

    Today we talk about the pirates! Not the Errol Flynn type, but rather the community of Warez Doodz and crackers are under scrutiny here. DJ Daemon delves into this from a Swedish perspective.I know I may seem negative to the warez community, but that's mostly the warez BBSes which used to have a mentality of superiority that struck me as rather unappealing. I'm kinda amazed by the tecnhological prowess of the cracker groups. But personally I walked away from downloading piracy copied games when I got my modem, as I didn't like the community. For me the demo scene and the normal BBS:es was the thing I loved and respected. When I got a steady salary, buying software was the way I eventually went. Sure, I used Napster as well. But that for a later show, I guess.

    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. We jumped at the chance to broadcast the tunes the same day they competed, so we did not know who had won. 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)

    33. Tracks from the past

    The ERICADE Radio Network is now officially a true tracker music broadcaster and not limited to just Amiga modules. With this change, it's time to look back at what tracker music is and delve into its rich history. From Karsten Obarski and the Ultimate Soundtracker on the Amiga and to today's Fast Tracker multi channel magic – it's been quite a ride. Like Emmet Brown in back to the future, we ask ourselves “My god, has it been this long?”. Yes! Yes it has.… and we've got a really nice set of songs from Swedish artist Slaze as well, so that's the latter half of the show. It's also up on the station now. Both some of his old stuff and a number of much newer tunes. Enjoy!

    32. Tomorrow never knows

    The future of the station? Is it so bright we have to wear shades. Maybe not, but there are a number of interesting things going on:The door is open for ALL kind of tracker music, ever if it's strictly not said Amiga. Impulsetracker modules with 64 channels will not run on the Amiga, but it's still a tracker tune. We're venerating the Amiga in spirit. Still, the large majority of all tunes on this station is still Amiga.More features to the web site coming.More jingles in the near future.A little know clip on our YouTube-channel got a life of its own.More interviews!

    31. Epic fail

    So, it was not meant to be… Most that compete, fail. That's the rule of most games. Jack Tramiel named his company “Commodore” (a navy rank) as he throught the computer business was a war. Today we commemorate the failures, because they weren't often not bad, just unsuccessful. From the ilfated Amiga 600 to the Texas Instruments TI 99/4A. DJ Daemon remembers the days of infighting between hordes of different computers that were by and large incompatible with each other.

    30. Don't lose that retro feeling

    “Retro feeling” is what I call everything that feels retro without being just that and the “Retro spirit” is keeping the retrostuff alive as in new Amiga demos and tracker mods.

    28. Too pooped to party

    The whole Saturday was one big fight against compressors, limiters, scripts, virtual machines and all the other “tech gods” out there. But the station sounds better than ever and I'm too tired to create a big show. Instead you get some banter and the newest music to enter the station. A really super mix of the smoothest and the coolest beats the Amiga mod scene can muster.The Revision Demo scene episode tracker competition episode is postponed until next week, but it will be done!

    27. A pox on all your Amigas

    Viruses are no fun, but we have had to contend with them since the 70s. The Amiga had its share of them like SCA, Bytebandit, Saddam Hussein, Lamer exterminator and some others. Some just wrote cute messages, whereas others deliberately or by mistake destroyed your data. Let DJ Daemon take you back to the 80s and guide you through the less popular parts of Amiga history.

    26. Raiders of the lost show

    Two months before Amiga Flashback came to be, this show went on the air and due to technical problems it was lost for the ages. Like a digital Indiana Jones, DJ Daemon went into the dangerous ruins of the old server and dug the treasures out of the maw of oblivion. The show that went on the air 2020-10-12 at 6 pm is now back, restored and the broken elements carefully repaired. This is the inaugural show that celebrated Dr Awesome's arrival on the station as an artist.

    25. Station update!

    Last year, we had a weekly station update. Not anymore. So here is a nice summarization of all that's going on. And… Some soft and nice Amiga music for your pleasure. We even try three artists' take on the song “Jamboree”, all pretty different… And very cool…
