Maniac of Crux - Crux-mas

Two medleys today and it's time for the first one. That would be a medley with five songs in a row. Really nice. We're starting up with Mildewy and Shiptune Bells, then it's Jeroen Tel and Christmas Groo, and it's Jushan with Merry Merry Christmas, and it's Waymaker of TNI with Adeste Fidelis, and finally it's Jula and Aimo.

DJ Daemon talks the upcoming talk show with Coreus and the Baron of Dubstep.
As I'm recording this, tomorrow will be a special day. It's gonna be me, Coreus and the Baron of Dubstep meeting up over the internet and recording our annual Christmas show. It's gonna be an episode of Flashback Tracks from the past where we play some music and talk a lot about retro gaming on C64, Amiga, Sega, Nintendo, whatever, what have you. I hope you're gonna enjoy it and this episode comes out in a week from now.But for today it's Christmas show and Christmas music only. We are going on with the prime time of TRSI Records and Awakening Day.
Prime time of Trsi records - Awakening day
DJ Daemon tells you like it is: Die hard is a christmas movie.
I'm gonna say it loudly and proudly. Die Hard is a Christmas movie. That's my opinion. Change my mind. Well, we're talking about the movie that has a very famous Christmas song. It's called Let It Snow and we're gonna play it. Who exactly made this version, this track music version? I don't know. It's an unknown tracker artist, but it's really nice.
Trackerartist - Let it snow
DJ Daemon presents the next song.
cheerful song if you ask me. We are going to play a number of nice Christmas songs and maybe it will be some sort of jingle bell overload because sometimes there are different remixes from different artists. I hope that's okay with you. We are going on with Nemesis of Zenon and Christmas Joy.
Nemesis of Zenon - Christmas joy
DJ Daemon tells you he doesn't speak over the songs (thanks!).
I used to be a community broadcaster Broadcasting on a very small radio station here in Stockholm And we always spoke on the music that is the music started and we spoke until artists started singing And it wasn't like that back in the day I kind of like to go back to the 60s and 70s over broadcasting as you know I don't speak on the intros very much. I let the music talk for themselves, so please enjoyhaving music that is well not really poisoned by lot of DJs like me then talking when really there is no reason for it. We are going on with MadGod and 2t2m and Christmas song.
Mad god - 2T2M-Xmas-Song
DJ Daemon teases an Inercia demo party episode coming up.
News from the demo scene folks. A few days ago, Inertia, a demo party in Portugal, it concluded. And there seems to be a little batch of nice track tunes that were released on the competition that ran on the demo party. We're gonna sort them through and see what's what. In a few weeks from now, I'm gonna sort it out and make sure that you get a demo scene coverage episode with Inertia and other demo parties that we haven't missed.But while you're waiting for that, we're going on with nothing more, nothing less than Joe Muck 2015 and the Hall of Fame.
JoeMuc2015 - the hall of fame
DJ Daemon talks about the newly updated site (ericade.radio).
This just in, Ericade. Radio, the website has been upgraded, updated or whatever you want to call it. It's our principal designer, Coreus, that has released a new update. And what's going on there? Look at it and you will see that the podcast list is much easier to read, looks better and it's well, updated I guess. So more updates coming in near future, but for the time being, go to Ericade. Radio and enjoy.Next up is Jalek W The Lombax and Holiday.
Yalek W the Lombax - Holidai
DJ Daemon talks about another upcoming "only Amiga" episode..
A little bit of heads up, I got some plans for an upcoming episode in the near future. It's gonna be another of those only Amiga stuff where we play only Amiga songs. They have been very popular actually. Normally we play everything from impulse tracker, fast tracker, scream tracker, what have you tracker. But this is gonna be a Amiga modules like pre-tracker, pro-tracker and stuff, noise tracker. Well, it's the same thing basically.So, well, I hope you're looking forward to that. Onwards, it's time for Arcturus and an Arcturus Christmas.
Arcturus - An arcturus christmas
DJ Daemon presents the next song.
U-Tune 2? Well, that's kind of an anachronistic term, isn't it? You are listening to Flashback, Tracks from the Past with me, DJ Daemon, and we are playing all the nicest little tracked Christmas tunes that I could find. We are going on with Necros and December, it's true, it is December.
Necros - December
DJ Daemon presents the second medley of today.
We have come to that part of the show where it's time for the second medley of today. You get three tunes in a row and it starts with Boomer and Jingle Bells, the Santa sucks edition. Well, that's his name of it and I did not invent that. Santa is awesome really. He looks like my father. Really interesting. Going on with Mr. Jerome and Jingle Bells mix. Yes, another of those and then it's Dan...PhD Night and Silent Night.
B00mer - Jingle bells (Santa sucks)
Mr. Jarom - Jingle bells remix
DanPHTMNight - Silent night
Gammis of Lemonride - Lonely chrismas
DJ Daemon tries to talk Spanish. It doesn't work as you probably could guess.
Spanish is really rusty as in I don't know I don't speak even a single word of it I can say cerveza which I know means beer Yeah, that's the whole thing So we're going on with LHS and Feliz Navidad remix and I believe Feliz Navidad simply means Merry Christmas in Spanish. I hope I'm right
LHS - Feliz navidad remix
DJ Daemon thanks you for listening and leads you into that good night...
As fun as this has been, it's time to say goodbye for this episode of Flashback, Tracks from the past with me DJ Daemon. Leading you into that good night would be nothing more and nothing less than Lodacchi and Christmas intro and final song would be Yuchan, Swedish artist Yuchan with Snowflakes. No, not the one we have on the station, this is a special remix that only exists in this show. Enjoy!
Lolodachi - Xmas intro

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.
- 83.6 MB
- 87 658 037 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.
- 1:00:37
- 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.
- 2.0 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 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.
- −17.2 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.
- −17.2 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.
- 0.01 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.
- −11.5 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.
