Transcript
ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon
Time for flashback. Tracks from the past. With your host, DJ Daemon. Today it's all about the music we found recently. Good stuff that you really want to hear. And no down party music and no down party coverage at this time. That will come later. Anyway, we're going on with ChromeHag and Commodore Atari 500. I guess that's kind of a really nasty thing to call a computer. I'm just kidding. Anyway.
DJ Daemon introduces the show.
Chromag - Commodore atari 500
DJ Daemon presents the first medley
giving you the nicest mod tracker tunes that we can find. It's all about Amiga, it's all about Atari, it's all about PC. Whatever can create some kind of sound, it will be able to be considered here. But no C64, alas. We're going on with the first medley of today. It's Chromag with Dreams, Vyraxor with Happy Accidents, and Chromag with Lucky.
Chromag - Dreams
Viraxor - Happy accidents
Chromag - Lucky
DJ Daemon talks about the demoparty Edison 2025. It's back!
That's it and that's that. You're listening to Flashback, Treks from the past and I got some good news for you. Edison is coming back. That's right, the down-parter here in Stockholm runs for 2025 thanks to Wayland and his crews coming back to this whole project. We thought we'd seen the last of it when they shut it down in 2024, but no such thing. They're coming back and we are going to cover it. Promise you.More music, it's time for Kro-Mag and Nightlife.
Chromag - Nightlife
DJ Daemon mentions the new website, ericade.radio.
I don't know if you've seen our new page, our new webpage. Ericade.radio has a new overhaul design created by Quirius, our newest developer. And actually it's me and him that has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes. And now it's done and now you can go to this new webpage where you can see the podcasts, you can search for songs and you can also, if you want to, request songs. So go to Ericade.radio.And while you're doing that, we're going on with CS127 and the Satellite 2.
Cs127 - Satellite Two
Do you like requesting songs on Ericade. Radio, our homepage? Well, if you do, you know you have to wait 30 minutes until you can hear the song. But that's no longer true. We have upgraded the site, so now we will play well every 10 minutes. So that means that if you request a song, you will have to wait about 10 minutes and then you will hear it. So that's five different slots for different music.I hope you enjoy that. And go to ericade.radio and request your favorite song. Here comes something cool. It's River and Bunnyhop Batch.
DJ Daemon speaks about the new request-system. Now you can request five songs per hour.
River - Bunny Hop Back
DJ Daemon talks about demo parties.
So where has the coverage for the demo part is gone? That's a good question. We haven't had time to really do much about it. But we hope to be able to cover revision coming in a few weeks from now and other demo parts of course. And we are hoping that we can cover Pogadata last year. a nice little sample of the demos that they had and stuff like this.Well, anyway, we're going on with CS 127 and 16 bit.
cs127 - 16-bit
Vim! - Pot-boiled lunch.
DJ Daemon presents the second medley.
This is a flashback, tracks from the past. We're giving you all the nice tunes that you like to hear. And then some other things that you never heard before, but you know you're gonna like it. That's what is going on right here. We are going on with our second medley of today. And it will be Gaidora, Kronhjorten på flykt, Modworks, Socks with Sandals, and then Dennis McCarthy with Parker Lewis themes.
Ghidorah - Kronhjorten på flykt
MODworks - Socks with sandals
Dennis McCarthy - Parker Lewis Theme
DJ Daemon talks about a new feature: chapters on the website podcaster-player.
Mr. Lewis is not able to respond to this call because he's not here, but I'm here. DJ Daemon. Let's talk about the new webpage and a feature which is really cool. If you go to ericade.radio and select a podcast, you can now select different chapters. So you can skip my speech or just listen to the songs that you want to hear. Or well, can of course listen to my speech as well. Well, that's new and go to ericade.radio to check it out yourself.We're going on with LHS of DFS with the Blizzard.

Nice and soft tunes here on Flashback, tracks from the past with me, that's DJ Daemon. We're going on with IPI and Seats at Saunter.
Ipi - Seat-Sat Saunter
DJ Daemon asks people to set stars on our songs.
If you like the 24-7 stream of music that you can hear on RK.RADIO, please remember to set stars on different songs, because we really need to know what's hot and what's not. You can set everything between one star, which means you hate it, to five stars, which means you love it. Please go ahead and do that, because we really need to know, and that's true with the podcasts as well. Going on with Madrec and RIDE.
Madwreck - Ride
DJ Daemon mentions that the next song is a request from a listener.
Next up is a request from a user calling themselves Mildewy Mildewy and it's Vim with Funky Trousers. You're tuned to Flashback, tracks from the past.

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.
- 86.4 MB
- 90 596 948 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.
- 1:01:43
- 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.
- 2.0 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.
- −2.2 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
- 10.4 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.
- −16.7 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.
- −16.7 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.
- 0.03 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.
