Colophone:Simple joke. It's "in the air" and "on the air" that has deliberately been mixed up.
Transcript
ericade.radio - Time for another episode of Flashback - Tracks from the past
Time for flashback, tracks from the past. We are in March right now and we ready to give you the best music right now. And here is something new we're starting out with. It's NabilAmin179 and Pinkias Space Trip.
DJ Daemon speaks.
NabilAmin179 - Pinkia's Space Trip
DJ Daemon presents todays first medley
From the text of the comments you can read this from this tune. It's a Nabil Amin cartoon. It's Pinkia and her trip to outer space. Magical stories about a little pink furry creature who came from outer space. Coming soon! Yeah great, we're waiting for that then. But while we're waiting we can go on with something special, namely the first medley of today. We're starting with DJ Uranus and Fly Away. Alien and cool.
DJ Uranus - Fly away
A-lin - Cool
Look and Zalza - little computer boy
DJ Daemon says there will be another medley in this show.
And great news everyone, will get another medley in a few minutes here on Flashback, Tracks from the past, and I am DJ Daemon. We're going on with confused generation and laxity of vibrance. Now in springtime, I just looked out the window and it's 10 degrees above and no bloody snow.
Confuzed generation - Laxity of Vibrants
DJ Daemon speaks.
This is a Swedish show in English because otherwise you wouldn't understand what I'm saying and that would be too bad. If you want to see more of what we can do on this station, go to ericade.radio. That's the website and we can show you a list of music that we play. have 2300 different tunes that are the best of the best, so to speak. And talking about good music, let's go on with CS 127.
Cs127 - Stars (4ch. version)
DJ Daemon talks about the next tune.
next up is something that sounds really taken from something like Turrican. But it isn't. It's UN Owen remix. It's by 240-185. A really fantastic name of an artist, so to speak.
240-185 - UN Owen (REMIX)
DJ Daemon tells you the time (Pretty useless for a podcast :D)
We are almost half past the show and we are ready for another 32 minutes of great music. And talking about great music, let's go on with Cut Creator and his fantastic song, Glenspiration.
Cutcreator - Glenzpiration
DJ Daemon briefly talks about Assembly 2024.
Let's talk about the demo scene. And the assembly has just been done, so to speak. And we have no track music from them, I'm afraid. They have a lot of cool stuff they made, but not demo music, as in track music. So we have to wait for revision, which is in April this year. And it's gonna be really good. I'm super sure about that. We're going on with explosion timer and the song called radio.
ExplosionTimer - Raiu
DJ Daemon presents the second medley of the day.
It's time for our second medley of today and we're starting up with Delta X of Noise, Master of Orion, Mr. Gamer and 8-Bit Love and finally success with F.U.K.
Delta X of Noise - Master of Orion
MrGamer - 8-Bit Love
Xerxes - Fuk
DJ Daemon speaks about his second poddcast that is in Swedish.
This podcast is only one out of two that I am participating in. The other one is called Itt säkeres poddon or the IT security podcast. You can listen to it if you know exactly where to search. It's in any kind of podcast player basically. Itt säkeres poddon. But it's in Swedish so you need to understand the language. We are going on with Inak TV and point of no return.
Inactivee - Point of No Return
DJ Daemon speaks about the end of the Edison demoparty.
Good news everyone, Edison has been cancelled. Yeah, the demo party that runs every year in the summer here in Stockholm, Sweden. But it won't be running this year and not anymore. Because Weyland, who is the main organizer of the whole thing, has simply said they don't have time for it anymore. That's sad, but I hope someone might actually pick up this thing and start doing it again, because we really want Edison in world. We're going on with our Pegasus and feelings.
Pegasus - Feelings

🎙 People in this podcast episode
He got his Commodore 64 in 1989 and his first Amiga in 1990. A huge fan of tracker music and have had a long standing dream to create a radio show playing that kind of music. In 2020, that dream came true and in december Amiga Flashback started as a podcast. It was later renamed Flashback, tracks from the past and here we are.
He is also an orga for Swedish demo party Edison and a total retro nerd.

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- 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.
- 89.4 MB
- 93 734 666 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.
- 1:03:36
- 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.
- 197 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.
- 1.7 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.
- −2.4 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 10
- 10.0 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.
- −16.9 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.
- 0.08 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.
- −12.0 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.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
