Erik Zalitis 00:00.056

Time for flashback. Tracks from the past. With your host, DJ Daemon. Welcome to the first out of two episodes about the Christmas. We have a music list to play for you. That is something special. It was Kurios that assembled it and put it together. Thank you very much. We're starting with Mick Rippon and belated the Christmas.

Erik Zalitis 03:17.934

What a nice intro. Christmas music it is, but not just super Christmasy. Something in between is allowed as well. We are going on with Jacko and Micho and excess denied.

Erik Zalitis 04:34.734

This is Flashback, tracks from the past, and we are going on with Eagle from Norway, an artist from Norway, with a song called Harmony.

Erik Zalitis 06:51.512

A few weeks ago Slash of ATD came to our Discord forum and he gave us a number of his songs. But here is another one that Kurios has dug up from SlashATD. It's called Farby. Brand new here.

Erik Zalitis 09:40.172

Next up is a song we haven't played for a year. It's Jogail Liljardalen, the masterpiece that's called Christmas. I actually had to ask Siona from Slay Radio what it was. I recognized the song, but couldn't place it. It's called A Child is Born.

Erik Zalitis 12:36.974

The shiling question is course Jesus. We are going on with a mistra and the nostalgia rides high. Indeed it does because we are in retro land right now.

Erik Zalitis 15:02.74

seek our music archive. You can go to Ericade.radio and click the link called Music in the menu on the top of the display. We are going on with Elwood and Sweet Dreams. No, it's not a cover of the Eurythmics song, we can't play that.

Erik Zalitis 17:57.742

I wonder if Kurius is trying to fit as many Norwegian artists as possible because here is another one, it's Circus with Melodyne. No, I don't think he's doing that. There are a lot of really good Norwegian artists in the trackers scene, but you should know that. Think about Joggeir Lilljadal we just heard.

Erik Zalitis 23:24.6

Nice and sweet, really nice tune that one. Well, this is episode 1 out of 2, so the next Saturday you will hear the rest of Korea's 31 songs that he selected and put into office.

Erik Zalitis 26:55.202

Yeah, yeah, I know, I should have told you the name of the song. That was Kurandia and replay Carkus. We are going on with Mr. Man of Absence with Backfire.

Erik Zalitis 29:40.296

halfway down the list and we are going on with projects and Michael of nuisance and this is a really good Christmas dance mixErik Zalitis

halfway down the list and we are going on with projects and Michael of nuisance and this is a really good Christmas dance mixErik Zalitis 32:41.534

It's time for a remix now. You probably know about the OCC Sangen song. Here is Nick Schor's version of it.

Erik Zalitis 37:04.408

Very good remix and we only have a few of those. Most of the station is actually mod, that's the original pro tracker format or noise tracker or whatever. We have XM, that's fast tracker and we have IT, that would be impulse tracker and some scream tracker as well. Next up is DJ Ale and 20th anniversary.

Erik Zalitis 41:11.118

We've gone from nothing from Mick Rippon to actually featuring some of the best tunes he ever made. And we're going on with another one from him, Mick Rippon and the final mod. Yeah, it is an Amiga mod.

Erik Zalitis 47:31.63

And the Choreos is digging up some really classic Amiga tune here. It's 8PM, the Polish artist with System Override. You're tuned to Flashback, tracks from the past.

Erik Zalitis 49:49.742

Huge thanks to Koreos for compiling this masterful top list. Alright, last two songs leading you into that good night that would be Ross and Lappa Valley Express and Format and Format's Madness. I'm DJ Demon, this is Flashback Tracks from the past.

Erik Zalitis 53:24.59

The Ericade Radio Network wishes all its listeners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
