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! Here is a show that promise you one thing, it's by humans for humans. No more AI tunes ever. Keep calm and listen to one hour of the greatest music and we're starting this hour up with CS 127 and Endless Facility.
DJ Daemon welcomes you to the show and promises there will be no more AI songs.
Cs127 - Endless facility

Flashback, tracks from the past with your host
Hboloid - Tropical pirates
Milkeyheart - Colour connoisseur
DJ Daemon talks about improvements on ericade.radio/stats/
This week I have added some new cool statistics on the webpage. If you go to ericade.radio.com you can find out the latest songs to come onto the station. You can note what are the most popular and most hated songs of the station and where people are listening. That's the new statistics. Which country is the most popular one when it comes to listening ship? Well, it would be Germany, but I'm not telling you what's on second place. You have to figure that one out yourself.We are going on with Ether audio and ambient attach.
Ether audio - Ambient attack
DJ Daemon talks about Modarchive slowness that has happened recently.
If you go to ModArchive every now and then you probably noticed it's bit slow sometimes. It seems to be sporadic, but I noticed it on Friday and it seems to be pretty slow today as I'm testing it out. I asked the Orgus on Discord, their Discord server, and the response coming back was that yeah, it's AI scrapers. You know, those bots that get data for the language learning modules that power the AIs.They put a heavy load on the servers and that's kinda the problem we're seeing. Really nasty. Well, I hope you have some patience next time you go to the site. We're going on with a Ley Malpas and Iceheaven.
Leigh Malpas - Ice heaven
DJ Daemon talks about the AI song and the response.
Last week and in latest episode of flashback I started a show with an AI song. A song composed by an AI. It was a bubble bubble if you remember. And there was a lot of commentary on Discord and on the YouTube channel and a lot of other things. And generally what do the people thatscene like AI and answer is not much at all. They hated the song and I got a lot of people wondering are you gonna continue playing this now? And the answer is no. But it's interesting to see just how little AI is making an impact on the development of track music. We like humans and we like human made music. Thank you very much. So we're continuing with Just Orb, a human artist with My Moronic Life.
JustOrb - My moronic life
DJ Daemon talks about Retro.gg's "12 days of christmas".
Now on Friday, which would be the 12th of December 2025, it's time again. For what you might ask? Well, let me clue you in. It's our friends over at Retro.gg. They have something they call the 12 days of Christmas 2025. That would be one new game per day that they talk about retro games from the old times. You really want to go there. Retro.gg.And we are going on with crisps and a T6 dash 3.
Crisps - t6-3
DJ Daemon talks about the next song.
This is Flashback, tracks from the past and I'm DJ Gimon. So we got another song by Lay Malpas, a new artist on this station. And the one we are going to play right now is Flute Lux. He kinda likes his electric guitars and why not? They are awesome.
Leigh Malpas - Flute lux
DJ Daemon teases about the upcoming christmas episodes.
So DidiDemon, tell us, are we getting another Christmas episode? Well, the answer is you get two. The first one is gonna be a normal one with a lot of track music that happens to be Christmassy. Really nice. And the second one is gonna be me, Curious and hopefully the Baron of Dubstep talking about Christmas and retro memories. More speech, less music, but they have been...really popular as well. So enjoy flashback and well while you are waiting you get some more music. It's Ether audio and telepathic.
Ether audio - Telepathic
DJ Daemon notes that we're at the half time of the show.
In the middle of the whole show giving you the nice tunes that are tracked and from the demo scene and other sources. Yeah, well, you're welcome and I hope you stay on for the next half an hour. We are going on with Saga Musics and eating your heart. This time he doesn't seem to have help from his friend Bacter, but it's working anyway.
Saga musix - Eating your heart
DJ Daemon talks about the "christmassy" feeling of the next song.
Christmas isn't here yet, but still, next up is a song that sounds like it fits in a Christmas environment so to speak. That would be the Platonist and Omni Vision. He entered this station a few weeks ago, you know about this. And here's another one of his great tunes.
Platonist - Omnivision
DJ Daemon talks about Revision 2026.
Revision 2026 should be coming around any day now. We're still waiting for the official launch of the party, but it has not failed so far. So me and Koreas, are going to cover Revision 2026 in the next year live. That's true. We're gonna broadcast live from Saarbrücken in Germany. So that's something to enjoy.But for the time being we are covering whatever demo parties we can find and going on with another of Saga Music's songs. This one is called The Cave of Time.
Saga musix - The cave of time
DJ Daemon mentions our Discord-channel.

Even if you don't like it, we always want to hear your opinions and maybe get some nice ideas to new songs and stuff we can play. Go to ericade.radio slash discord and join us. We're going on with Lunari again. Yes, he's a popular one here. Entirely overcast.
Lunari - Entirely overcast
DJ Daemon hopes for Edison 2026.
I am hoping for Edison 2026, the biggest demo party in Sweden. It runs here in Stockholm, but it hasn't been announced yet, so we have to wait a little bit until we can talk more about it. But if it happens, and I think it's gonna happen personally, then me and Koreas, we're gonna be at on location, so to speak, and we're gonna talk and we're gonna broadcast and we're gonna interview and we are going to play the best music. So we're hoping for that. I will come back later on that.We are going on with substance and light in the dark corner.
Substance - Light in the dark corner
DJ Daemon thanks for listening and leading you into that good night.
And this would be the end of a nice hour of track music. Nothing more, nothing less. A little bit of stories maybe, perhaps. And we are going on. Hopefully this will now be a weekly show again. I don't know. We'll see. This is DJ Daemon signing off and leading you into that great night or good night that would be wow 25 and healthy. See you back in a week, I hope.

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.
- 84.4 MB
- 88 504 721 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.
- 1:01:09
- 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.
- 1.8 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.
- −1.8 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
- 10.9 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.
- −17.0 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.
- 0.02 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.
- −9.0 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.
