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. <br><br>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.

Ep. 21
Hackers are mythical creatures that just get in everywhere. Hacking is alas used as ersatz magic in many games and Hollywood movies. DJ Daemon tires of this and tries to find some games and movies that does this in a reasonly correct way. He uses a very generous definition of “correct”. But the suspence of disbelief is a strong force of nature. So let's just accept this as a proper hacker story.
Ep. 20
It's almost Valentines day and love may be in the air. DJ Daemon doesn't care too much about that and instead plays everloving Amiga-tunes and remembers when he fell in love with C64 basic (perhaps not something he wants to admit…), the demo scene and everything else around Commodore geekdom.He also overuses the word “Love” in a way that even the Beatles would have found a bit too much.
Ep. 19
Nerds and geeks are peaceful right? Nope! We battle as much as anyone else, but seldom in a fisticuffs fight. You know, it's all about words and feeling superior because we have an HP 48 calculator, an Amiga instead of an Atari or because our favorite demo group just won in the great demo party. DJ Daemon dives into why we need to form groups or “cliques” where we feel elevated and enlighted as opposed of those other “troglodytes” of the competition.
Ep. 18
Time to dish out some random stuff over the virtual airwaves. DJ Daemon has picked up a slew of songs of high quality never heard before on this station and struggles to pronounce the French and German names. Don't laugh! Try to do it better, yourself. :)
Ep. 17
The 80s ended more than 30 years ago, but it was an interesting time in the eye of an impressionable youth such as me. I was 5 when it started and 15 when it was over. In between we had the closing chapter in the cold war, a battle between home computers, a combat where silence met the truth of an incident in a village near Kiev and off course the monumental clash between east and west as the borders fell. Most of this is presented through the eyes of the child I was back then.
Ep. 16
Another doin' nothin' show. I did one a month ago, and I'm not done with that yet. New music (for this station) is promised and delivered as you expect. I also read a bad poem with so much horrible grammar it makes it all worth listening by itself.Some notes:About the intro: I don't know what DAE means either. Maybe some weird connection with area 51, so dae.I know how l33t-speak work. I just act if I didn't to make it look just as silly as it really is. It does in fact NOT r0xx0rz my s0xx0rz.Cats are nice. Don't pull them by the tail.
Ep. 15
Chiptunes are back in style in the retro scene. On of the people keeping this classic 80s and 90s computer music alive is Tekmann, who does his music on two Gameboys. He avoids doing to much post-work on the tunes he composes and instead prefers letting the real hardware doing the heavy lifting. It's as real as it gets! Today we meet him in an interview where he talks about his creative approach, his “lone wolf” musician hobby and exactly how much he likes touring… That is when can, as the Corona puts quite a damper on it. You will also get to know why a Dead Mau5 looking super hero outfit is his prefered outfit when performing.
Ep. 14
20 minutes before the show would “Air”, I knew it could be done. My plan was to record it later. But as my previous engagements fell throutgh, I sprung into action and got all things good from Amiga Modules Archive with a rating of 9 out of 10. Hence the cheezy reference to the old sci-fi turkey created by Ed Wood. Then I voice tracked at a warp 10 speed and barely got it out in time.
Ep. 13
Storytelling is key in some games but pretty optional in others. IF it needs a story it often ends up making or breaking the whole game itself. DJ Daemon sorts out four major storytelling mechanisms that are commonly found in the business.
Ep. 12
Being wrong is no fun, but it's soo easy. This episode jokes around about the incorrect stuff I said during the fall of 2020 and even puts the very idea of calling it “Errata” on a podcast in question. So it's time to question our correctness and sanity. Maybe being wrong is ok, but what if you let a crazy mad scientist style cryptographer doing it on a IT-security podcast? Daemon shudders when he remembers.Errata:– You just read it… I will explain it in the podcast.– And… Geez… This will have no end. The Mix tape guy is actually from Luxembourg, not Germany.
Ep. 11
Mixing it up by combining the New years eve and New years day broadcasts in a totally seamless podcast. DJ Daemon goes through the Amiga year of 2020 without mentioning the war (which war?), the American election OR too much about the Corona.Relax and enjoy music never heard on the station from the Amiga module-scene and a few stories about:Ibrowse 2.5.3.Vampire V4 stand aloneThe war between Cloanto (Amiga Corporation) and everyone elseThe end of TerribleFire's involvement with the Amiga communityAmikitApolloOS (the artist formerly known as AROS)Hyperion giving up on gobbling up the Boing ball and letting Cloanto have it..Not to forget about Southcentral BBS. Available with telnet on southcentral.se at port 1023, it enables you to experience a slice of Amiga history.Also noting that Taco spelt backwards means something when you buy it too cheap…
Ep. 10
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?
