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. I know, I know, this is a monthly show. So you're supposed to be waiting for December's edition. But I felt like I want to make another episode just today at Monday. So you're getting one hour of the best from ModArchive. The things that have been spotlight. We're starting up with Ether audio and Soft Eyes Planet.
DJ Daemon welcomes you to another "unexpected" show.
Ether audio - Soft Ice Planet
DJ Daemon the first medley of today.
Sweet song really, isn't it? I think it is. This is Flashback, tracks from the past and I'm Didier Demond. Time for today's first medley. Well, what do we have for you, Wigget? You may not do that and Black Coffee Cat. C512W with My Birthday and finally Hyper Unknown and Goat Fiction.
Youmaynotdothat - Black Coffee Cat
C512w - My Birthday!
Hyperunknown - Goat fiction
DJ Daemon notes that you get another medley in a few minutes.
Colidace - The Red Alliance
DJ Daemon talks about the upcoming christmas show.
This podcast is now a monthly one. That means you have to wait until December until the next episode. And I got some good news for you. I spoke into Coreus and he wants to create another of those Christmas episodes. We did one last year and it was me, Coreus and the Baron of Dubstep talking about all kinds of retro game history and playing some good music. We're gonna do that again. So yeah, stand by and you get it. Anyway.Time for some more music, it's Platonist and Enchanter.Well, seem to like the Platonist so much that the next one is gonna be him as well. It's gonna be blinding light, but first a short story. I spoke to a senior a few days ago and she told me that a lot of the most famous sites on the scene have been historically hacked. Latest number of attacks I heard about was against Bitjam and I hope they come back one day, but they are shut down right now as a result of it. Really sad.It goes to tell that you have to be very careful when connecting anything you built yourself into the internet. And even if you didn't build it yourself, you had to patch it and keep it secure. So I have spent the last two to three weeks on Ericad.radio and the backend, trying to tighten it up, fixing all kinds of vulnerabilities. I would recommend a site called Sneak. S-N-Y-K. You can go there and for free if you're a private entity, or sorry, a...known commercial entity, you can use their service to scan your github repository and find vulnerabilities in the code. Really useful. Anyway, back to the show. We are as I said going on with Platonist and Blinding Light.
Platonist - Enchanter
DJ Daemon speaks about hacked demo scene sites including Bitjam.
Platonist - Blinding light
DJ Daemon about sourcing new songs from the demo scene.
A few days ago I went to a Discord server and asked people there to suggest good songs or good track music that has been created and released on any demo party in 2025. I'm still waiting for some good suggestions but I'm gonna have to come back on that. Anyway, we are going on with some music. It's Platinist again and final day.
Platonist - Final day
DJ Daemon presents another Platonist tune.
This is Flashback, tracks from the past and I'm DJ Daemon. Going on with Platonist and Main Tune 6.
Platonist - Maintune6
DJ Daemon Presents the second medley of today.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the second medley of today. That's three songs that are short enough to fit together just great. We are going on with Carlos Del Alamo and Ego Wings Menyo. T, H, W, Y and Aftertest. And finally, it's Hyper Unknown and Goat Hurting.
Carlos "Estrayk" del Alamo - Ego wings menu
Thwy - After test
Hyperunknown - Goatherding
DJ Daemon presents the next song.
That's a nice medley you got right there. We are going on with the next song and that would be Bit Bear and I Feel You.
Bitbear - I Feel You
DJ Daemon talks about Hyperunknown and his "goatsongs".
Just a short note about Hyper Unknown of Noise, a singer who loves to put goats in his titles. Very many of his songs, if not all of them, have some kind of goat name. The last one was Goat Hurling. And there's always a nice coverage there of great chip tunes, really. He is awesome. If you want to listen to more of him, go to ericade.radio and search for Hyper Unknown and you shall be given nice tunes.going on with hyper based and orb spoofing.
Hyperbased - Arpspoofing
DJ Daemon thanks you for listning and leading you into that good night is the next song.
This is Flashback, tracks from the past, and I am per usual DJ Daemon. It's time to say goodbye, and leading you into that great night, or good night, is, well, next song that would be Anders Hamre and the wrath of Aphrodite. EroKaded.Radio is your source for good track music. Just go there when we're not broadcasting and listen 24-7, the greatest tunes from the track scene.

🎙 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.
📡 Podcast details
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.
- 87.5 MB
- 91 725 962 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.
- 1:03:23
- 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.
- 193 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.
- −14.4 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.
- 2.3 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.
- 0.4 dBTP
- close to the ceiling - may distort on some players
- 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 12
- 11.6 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.
- −16.6 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.
- −16.6 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.
- 0.00 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.
- −16.7 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.
