Podcast episode profile for 36. Forndata 2021 gets medieval on your arse
Forndata 2021 Summer is over and brought a lot of joy to the demoworld from Visby in Sweden. It was off course online only, but presented demo-, C64- and tracked music compos as you’d expect from a true demo party. The start was on time and there were few problems until the OctaMed-tune from heck just would play and was disqualified. The line up was good and the tunes were all up to the standard you’d expect from them. The interviews were quite unique with Swedish minister of digitilization, Anders Ygeman and legendary Commodore techs Bil Herd and Dave Haynie. We also got a really nice live interview with Chris Huelsbeck, the tracked music god of sorts.
ericade.radio knows the chiptune and demoscene! We're the radio station playing all the best tunes from the most prominent, promising or trending artists in the scene. We also know about the artists and songs as well.

So that's the story of the competition. The disqualified tune was made with Octomed by ThyPyro and is called Forklift Data. What it sounds like? no idea really. I can't make anything play it at all. Okay, we don't play pre-tracker age music normally. But for another contestant on Fondata 2021,In the C64 music combo, I must make an exception. It's actually made for a Vic-20 and is called Feabood. Zepac made it happen.

And it gets better, going from a hand painting graffiti to a ghetto blaster playing the opening tune of the Muppet Show. My childhood memories are back.
Mahna Mahna – Subway Art pt 2
Alright, that was the last part of the demo. You can find it on YouTube actually if you search for Mana Mana Phone Data. It's worth the effort, I can tell you that much. Alright, let's go on with some music that was not on the competition but I just found it and I love it.
Midori – Conundrum
Midori and Konandrum. Alright, I'm gonna say this about Fondata. It was awesome. I can't complain about any demo parties I've seen from my couch sitting with a beer in my hand. And yeah, this one delivered the goods. There were some technical problems mostly because one of the tracky tunes did not work. Other than that, they started on time and they ended a few minutesahead of schedule actually very great and it ended the way it always does with Fondota well they play through sex games yeah you know the old summer games clone where you do something else than running for gold
Jazz Jackrabbit – Menu song (Jazz Jackrabbit Intro)
Any retro gamer worth his or her salt should know this one. It's the intro tune from Jazz Jack Rabbit. I play it for Correos on Discord and the rest of you who love that game. Because we all do. Going on with Trigger and Alone RMX.
TRiGGER – A.L.O.N.E.*RMX_2
So if you're a little bit sad that Fondata is over and the next Fondata Summer will be 2022. Well good news, you don't have to wait all that long. Gubbdata is running on the 2nd to 4th of July. Lund, Sweden. Yeah, it is streamed online only, but it's good to know where the people you're listening to are. Well, uh...And demo party here is illustrated with an old man saying, bah, you millennium said your avocados.
Abyss of Delight – Sleeping Waste
of delight sleeping waste and we're going on with ever read of TLOTBmidnight run and we have other nice demo parties going on before I let on the music here. You shouldn't really miss Edison 2021 as well.
Evelred of TLOTB – Midnight run
Alright, talking a little bit about Edison then. First I need to say that that was ever read of TLOTV, Midnight Run. Yeah, Edison will run for real this year. It's not just online. You can actually go to Egebygård, which is close to Tensta here in Stockholm, but only 50 people can be in the... Barn? Yeah, it is a barn actually.at the same time so you probably have to talk with them to see if there's a place for you. Otherwise follow them online. Just search for Edison 2021.
Speedhead – MEGADEMOZAK
Alright, serious game boss there, isn't it? Anyway, it's called Megatemosak and it's Speedhead who made that happen. Alright, we are going on with losing everything, but we are not losing anything except this podcast because it's ending for this time, but we will be back next Saturday, I hope, at 9 PM. This is DJ Daemon thanking you for listening.And remember, keep the demo scene alive. It's a duty that has fallen on all of us.
