🎧 01:15:30 DJ Daemon: So, was the party any good? I dunno. Didn’t attend, which I generally actually try to do. This would have been a miss if regular listener Bittin_ hadn’t pointed it out to me. I really tried to attend as many demoparties as I could. But my time is limited, so of this one I cannot speak muc…

Erik Zalitis 01:15:30.35 So, was deadline 2021 any good? I don't know, didn't attend. Which I generally actually tried to do. This would have been a miss if regular listener Bitten hadn't pointed it out to me. I really try to attend as many demo parties as I can. But my time is limited so I cannot speak much about this.I watched the clips from the introduction and everything looked professional and good. And the line up then? Yeah, mostly good. Mostly really good. With no tunes put into the competition as a joke. Those are no fun to play as the listeners won't like it. Anyway, this episode is probably the longest one I have produced. Well, except for the New Years and the Christmas episodes.We're leading you into the good night with Johannes Krupp, dreaming of you. And I need to stop, because the software here is screaming. How dare you! You're over-striking our boundary! Yeah, yeah, calm down. Bye bye now from DJ Daemon.
