ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon

DJ Daemon Time for flashback. Tracks from the past. With your host, DJ Daemon. It's a complex world we're living in and sometimes you just want vacation. Not thinking about everything that's going on, what you hear on the radio and the TV and the newspapers. So let's have a nice vacation. We're starting off with a grabby of avoid and waste with surface moments.

DJ Daemon introduces the vacation episode with a splashy song.

Grabbie of Avoid, Waste - Surface movements

DJ Daemon talks about the first medley.

DJ Daemon Out of the water and onto the beach, into a nice blanket so to speak. Well, we are going on with the first medley of today, you get two you know. At first we have Acroset and Wishful Thinking, Wayfinder and Funky and directly after that it's Spliff and Knultur and that's all the three you're getting for this medley.

Acrouzet - Wishful Thinking

Wayfinder - Funky

Zpiff - Knulfur

DJ Daemon presents the next song.

DJ Daemon Wow, that is a medley for the ages. We are going on with BKH and NHP with Oz. This is Flashback, tracks from the past. And I'm DJ Daemon.

Bkh and Nhp - Oz

DJ Daemon calls 25 degrees "melting point" in Sweden. Us Scandinavians are light weights when it comes to handle hot weather.

DJ Daemon We are close to melting point here in Stockholm, Sweden. Okay, 25 degrees above doesn't seem to be too much for people that are from southern Europe. But for us, it's wow, this is really something. And we are going on with something nice, a new song which is A-Lin and Radio-Trition.

A-lin - Radiotrition

DJ Daemon presents the next song.

DJ Daemon We are doing some really nice summer radio right now and we will continue doing that. Less speak, more music. And we're going on with Raptor of NSF and RVL with emotions within.

Raptor of NSF, RVL - Emotions Within

DJ Daemon calls the previous tune "bombastic" and goes on with the next.

DJ Daemon Bombastic and nice. Let's go on with a little bit more ship tunish joy, because we need that as well. It's where acts are a day with friends.

Viraxor - A day with friends

DJ Daemon speaks about "Sommar i P1", a classic radio show for vacation times.

DJ Daemon So, what are your vacation plans? For me it's simple, I'm just gonna sit around here listening to radio. We have a show here in Sweden called Sommar i Piet, where someone talks about their lives and plays some music. It's a tradition, everybody likes it, even if they don't listen to radio otherwise. But we are going on here with Rui Okki and Aiso, a little bit of summery coolness.

Ryo-Ohki - Iso

DJ Daemon mentions JosSs as the next artist.

DJ Daemon We're ready to go on here with the next tune. It's a Spanish artist whose real name is Jose Manuel Perez, but you know him as Joss and the song is called

JosSs - Khriminal

DJ Daemon about improvements of the website coming up.

DJ Daemon July is almost here, and during July I will work with a homepage, the radio site so to speak, improving a lot of functions and features there. It is called Ericade.radio and you can search for songs, podcasts and stuff, but we can do it better and make it work better. Going on with a nobody of wild light, and it's called Monument, part one. This one is really cinematic.

Nobody of Wild Light - Monument - Part I

DJ Daemon wonders which movie the last song would fit.

DJ Daemon wonder what kind of movie this would fit. Maybe some sort of really bombastic big movie format. A, whatever you call it. You know, the big things. Maybe Star Wars, the next Star Wars can have a theme like this. It would be nice. We are going on with Mikex and Sauron with Sorcerers of the Reims.

Mikex and Zauron - Sorcerer of dreams

DJ Daemon presents the second medley.

DJ Daemon It's time for a super duper medley, the second one today. We're going on with Rymdkraft, internet race machine. Joss again with super funkers. Beat Hawk with OK. I'm gonna try this. Hasa Syodin-Vilja. And finally Wayfinder of KFMF, ultramarine.

Rymdkraft - Internet Race Machine

JosSs - SupahFunkers

Beathawk - Hassuakosyonviilia!

Wayfinder of Kfmf - Ultramarine

DJ Daemon thanks a Discord-user for the song Internet Race Machine.

DJ Daemon The first song you heard in this medley, Rymdkraft Internet Racer Machine, was given to me kindly by Rellis, a user in our Discord channel so to speak. I'm DJ Daemon and we are ready to sign off soon. Leading you into that good night is Cirrus of Analog with Jalibin and also Kastan Kosh, The Blue Valley, KK.

Sirrus of Analogue, Indicator - Jelly bean

Mp3 file details

Waveform of episode 123, Vacation for reason, left channel above, right channel below: level in dB against time, 1:05:32 long. Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
Waveform A picture of the whole recording from start to end. The taller the shape, the louder that moment; the left channel is on top and the right channel below it. The scale up the side is the level in dB, the one along the bottom is the time. Select the picture to open it at full size.
Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
OK
measured from the file itself
Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
92.0 MB
96 501 534 bytes
File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
1:05:32
hours : minutes : seconds
Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
196 kbit/s
good quality
Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
44.1 kHz
44 100 measurements a second
Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
Stereo
2 channels
Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
MP3
Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
−14.3 LUFS
typical for streaming and podcasts
Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
2.1 LU
very even
True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
−1.7 dBTP
safely below the ceiling
Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
DR 11
10.7 dB · moderately dynamic
Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
−16.8 dBFS
average (RMS) over the whole file
Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
−16.8 dBFS
average (RMS) over the whole file
Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
0.02 dB
balanced
Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
−10.4 dB
ordinary stereo
Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
Yes

ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.

album The album or collection the file says it belongs to. Stations and encoders sometimes use this field for notes of their own.

artist Who made or performs the recording, as it is written inside the file.

comment A free note somebody left inside the file.
