ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon
Today we're doing one thing and one thing alone. We are playing the latest songs from 2026, just available on ModArchive. We are soon into March and we will talk about Edison, Revision and some other cool demo stuff. Starting this hour up with a really long song, a new one, from a few weeks ago. It's Sysfinnsson, the Auga Mooka song.
DJ Daemon welcomes you to an hour of the latest and greatest in chiptunes.
Sysfins - The aooga mooca song
DJ Daemon presents the first medley of today.
We got a set of new songs coming onto this station. They're also quite short, so that warrants a medley, the first one out of two. And it starts with Just Orb, Growing Old, which of course I know about. Then it's Beyond and Matrix, and it's Nikko, 42, 11 and Can Never Let Go of Hotaya. And finally it's Free CS, 7i73 with a broken keyboard.
JustOrb - Growing old
Beyond - Matrix
Nikku4211 - Can neva let go of hotaya
3zs7i73 - Broken keyboard
DJ Daemon mentions Revision 2026 and that the pre-sale of tickets has started.
talked about it a few weeks ago, but I need to mention that Revision 2026 has come out with two things. First out is tickets. The pre-sales are now open, so go to their homepage and just buy the tickets. I and Koreas have done so, and we will be going to Saurbrücken in a month from now, just to report live from the demo party. Also, the second one is Slipstream with the golden disc, a new demo, a intro.or as it's called the Revision 2026 invitation. Go there and listen and learn. Going on with D, U, V and the way back feels longer.
Duv - The way back feels longer
DJ Daemon laments that all tracked tunes are called chiptunes today.
You know how words change meaning over time? The word shiptune used to be a tune created with a tracker with samples that sounded a little bit like those SID tunes and Atari tunes and whatever. Today shiptune seems to mean well anything that is blipity bloppy enough. That would be computer game tunes, would be track music, it would be pretty much everything. So well that's what it means today I guess.So music then, ship tunes? Well, we can call them that if you want to. It's JustOrb and Tom Hanks!
JustOrb - Tom Hanks
DJ Daemon talks about Hypr, a new chiptune station that has just started.
A few days ago PSNF reported on the demo scene report that a new radio station has come online, a new chiptune station as it were. This one is called Hyper or HYPR. The address is course HYPR.website. It seems to have a lot of tunes, lot of metadata and the capability of pretty much looking like nectarine does. I don't know, we'll see what comes out of that. Cool right?Of course it is. Going on with mykey and love on impulse.
Majke_e - Love on impulse
DJ Daemon asks you tell us what kind of podcast you want.
In a few minutes from now you will hear another medley, the second one of today. This is Flashback, tracks from the past and I'm DJ Daemon. Remember that you can tell us what you want out of this podcast. You want more music, less music, more speech, retro games, demo, scene stuff, whatever. Tell us at radio at erikade.net. Going on with the DUI and in holo time.
Duv - In hollow time
DJ Daemon tells you that artist Beyond is featured five times in the episode.
Today we have no more and no less than five songs from Beyond. A relatively new artist on this station. We're happy to have them on board. So is it any good? Yeah, it is. It's awesome even. It's Beyond and Suffering. We are not suffering. We're happy to hear this.
Beyond - Suffering
DJ Daemon presents the second medley of today.
Time flies and we are ready for the second medley of today. It starts with Melvich and feeling groovy. What is the 60s slang coming back? I don't know, but it sounds good. Then it's Beyond again. Yes, same Beyond with Drastic and yeah, Beyond again with Kundalini Dreams.
Melvyzk - Feeling groovy
Beyond - Drastic
Beyond - Kundalini dreams
DJ Daemon talks about Edison 2026.
It's quite possible that you know this already, so sorry to repeat ourselves, but you know that Ericade is going to be the streaming station powering Edison 2026. It's in July here in Stockholm, Sweden, broadcasting live and having the demo scene live from a boat called MS Borgilla. Don't miss out on Edison demo party because it's awesome. Going on with punker and high high over the sky.
Punker - High high over the sky
DJ Daemon talks about next episode of this podcast.
Next week another game review I believe. What game? I don't know, I haven't fought this one through. I kinda looked at C64, Amiga and early retro PC games. Because that's what we're doing. But it's gonna be a secret until next week. What's it about? Going on with yes another one of Beyond's music. It's somewhere...
Beyond - Somewhere
DJ Daemon leads you into the good night with...
This is Flashback, tracks from the past and I'm DJ Daemon. Leading you into that good night, that would be the last two songs. Name of the DJ, Ferdamned! And finally Blue Orion and Antarctica, Rainforests. I don't think those exist really. It's mostly, well you know, penguins. Penguins! I'm just kidding. Well, good night and see you next week.

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.
- 83.0 MB
- 87 027 070 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.
- 1:00:06
- 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.
- −16.4 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.
- 3.6 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.
- −0.2 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 13
- 12.6 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.
- −17.4 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.
- −18.0 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.
- 0.53 dB
- left is 0.5 dB louder
- 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.
- −8.2 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.
