Time for flashback. Tracks from the past. With your host, DJ Daemon. Another week and another show, of course. Today it's the newest, coolest music, and nothing else going on. But we got some cool storytelling coming up. I'm gonna talk more about it later in this episode. Starting up with Dr. Justorb and Stars Revolt.
DJ Daemon presents the show and welcomes you to an our of chiptune music.
Dr. Justorb - The stars revolt!
If you've been around this podcast a while, you know the drill. Yes, medli. The first medley, that's what's up. Heatbeat of Carillon, Matkamies, some unknown tracker artist, Mario at home. Obviously he has a life outside the game, I did not know that. And then it's David Hennigan and Space Level.
DJ Daemon gives you the first medley of today.
Heatbeat of Carillon - Matkamies
Trackerartist - Mario at home
David Hennigan - Space level
DJ Daemon tells you about a new function on the Best of Ericade.radio.
I don't know if you like to listen to the best of ericade.radio. If you use ericade.radio and click on that station, you should know it has a new feature. It does not just show what podcast episode you're listening to, but also what tune is playing. That is great, because a lot of people have wondered, how do I know what's playing? Well, now you can. ericade.radio.And here is something, Dj Dark. He invites us to a voyage, a very soft, melodious one, a great one, and a pretty new tune.
Dj Dark - The voyage
DJ Daemon adds a song that has previously been removed by mistake.
Now that's the style I like on this station. And sometimes the listeners have suggestions. This time it was Slash_AtD, a Russian artist. He wondered where is ZauberwalD? That's a tune he wrote and released on revision 2025. We had it but had by mistake actually disabled it. That was sad because it's a good tune, and here it comes, so you don't forget what it sounds like.
Slash_AtD - ZauberwalD
DJ Daemon talks about the newest feature on the website.
Some stuff about ericade.radio. Yeah, you know the website. We're working on me and Coreus. New features come in slowly. But we fixed a number of bugs and repaired some stuff, making it better and better and better. But what's coming up soon is actually a statistics page where you can see the most requested tunes for a week, a month or something, and also stuff like, you know.An artist page where you can see what artists we have and what songs they have. So stay tuned, ericade.radio, that's the experience. And more experience, let's go with Jophish and Young RMX.
Jophish - Young RMX
Gotta love me some medlies. Yes, let's go for medley number two. And it's a whole lot of C512W going on. First out is Sun Lol Rai. Then it's Ether Audio, new stuff from her. That would be Squareway Act 2. And Marie2 and 4-mat, they are banding together to give you the pattern go way up. And this is the alternate version.Then it's C five hundred twelve W again, and it's Gamer's Most Fear. And finally this medley, it's clear water with Jasmine.

DJ Daemon about an upcoming episode of the podcast that talks about evil organisations in games.
I hope you know what makes for a good story in a game. I would say evil, flaws, broken dreams and all that kind of stuff. Lore is great, tropes even more so.In a few weeks from now, we will make a podcast episode of Flashback, tracks from the Past. It will delve into evil organizations and also heroes that lost everything they hoped for and became evil unto themselves. We will also talk about could this happen in real life? Has it? Well, that's an interesting story, but stay put, we will tell you more about it later. So let's go withThrawn is hard to really pronunciate, but that's what it is. And Mood four hundred eighty one.
Thrawn - Mood 481
DJ Daemon wants you to tell us what they want to hear on the podcast.
This is an old chestnut. It's all about what do you want out of the podcast? Send an email to me radio at ericade.net. That's the email. Or we are on Discord ericade.radio/discord. I want to know exactly what you think. Too much music, too little music, too much speech, better stories, more games or whatever. Just tell us what you feel is.Right for you and the station. So DJ Dark is back again, and this time he's lost in the woods. The lost woods.
Dj Dark - The lost woods
If you want to hear the latest podcast episode, here is a new little tip from us. Go to ericade.radio/latest and you will be redirected to whatever is brand new and current on the station. That's what you want to do. We should go on with the third medley of today. Yes, free this time. Great. Virgil withSchmoddermann cut then Marie2 and 4-mat they are together again with another nice tune. It's called calendar. Shadowsight finally and it. It's not that easy because you know it never ever is.

Virgill - Schmoddermann cut
Marie2 and 4-mat - Calendar (novocals)
Shadowsight - It's not that easy
DJ Daemon talks about the YouTube and Twitch and our new stream design.
I really hope you know that we have a YouTube and Twitch stream. They're used to just rebroadcast the station, and they have been a little bit boring for many.Years but now Coreus and I have created something really cool, a very minimalist design that fits perfect on the screen. A big screen. You wanna project the station on the TV? Well go to YouTube or Twitch and search for Ericade Radio and you can listen to the station with some really nice graphics telling you what's playing in big cool letters and images.Really something nice. C five hundred twelve W, well she is back again. He seems to fit the whole station with pretty much everything, and it's awesome. And he is well, she is teaming up with Viraxor and song it's called Fancy Chase.
C512w and Viraxor - Fancy chase
DJ Daemon leads you into the good with...
Are we getting a bit repetitive, perhaps? Yes, we are, because we are going on with another one of C512W and Viraxor's songs. It's called Your New Friend, but weirdly enough, it's also called Old. So it's the old new friend or something? Well that's what we are leading you into that good night with. And finally, yes, there is some nicest music. It would be Ducc and our great minds. Ericade.
C512w and Viraxor - Your new friend (old)

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
- 91 793 994 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.
- 1:03:33
- 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.
- 48 kHz
- 48 000 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.
- −16.2 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.
- 4.6 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.
- −0.1 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 11
- 11.1 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.
- −17.3 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.
- −17.0 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.
- 0.23 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.
- −15.8 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.
