🎧 Playlist
- 00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
- 00:06 DJ Daemon: Thought the demo parties were done for 2021? You thought wrong. The signal this time come from Germany and the demo party is called Deadline 2021. You know the drill; we start with the tracked music compo and place 13 is held by Byteobserver and the tune is called “Back to the Polytope”. It gets 45 points.
- 00:33 byteobserver – 13. back to the polytope
- 02:56 DJ Daemon: Nice Fast tracker tune with some oddness to it. Next up is Apropos Agrippa by Gentleman that really gives us a very raw, rough and digital feel to it. Place 12 and 50 points.
- 03:12 Gentleman – 12. Apropos Agrippa
- 06:12 DJ Daemon: Cranksy comes in loud and clear at place 11 with Eye ood ee eye oonf. I’m sorry, if you come up with silly tune names, I get to laugh at them. 53 points awarded.
- 06:29 Cranksy – 11. Eye ood ee aye oonf
- 09:12 DJ Daemon: We have arrived at the REAL top list; you know the one that starts at place 10. Remind me to get a jingle for that. And here it’s Powergold1 that gives us the tune Monkcore. Pretty standard techno with a feeling that parts would fit a heavy action-oriented game. Sorry, almost forgot. 53 points.
- 09:36 powergold1 – 10. Monkcore
- 11:31 DJ Daemon: On place 9, we have an admission of guilt. The tune is called Monotone Lethargie. Artist MonoToni seems to undervaluate very soft and soothing tune that gets 56 points.
- 11:49 MonoToni – 9. Monotone Lethargie
- 14:16 DJ Daemon: Place 8 and ADKD seems like that grumpy old action-adventure movie hero saying, “I work alone”. The tune is called solitary work and get 56 points.
- 14:31 adkd – 8. Solitary work
- 18:03 DJ Daemon: Caramel of Proxima hits us with another Amiga four channel module called Slo-mo Hopscotch. I have middle east theme but otherwise it’s a pretty softcore techno beat. Really like this one and it gets 63 points.
- 18:24 Caramel of Proxima – 7. Slo-mo Hopscotch
- 20:33 DJ Daemon: So, the 70s are not back, nor is disco, in spite what mA2E of DSR seems to believe, as he has composed “Virtual Disco Chip”. It has zero disco feeling but loads of chiptune dito. This is one of the better chip tunes I’ve heard, and I like the softness of it. Points? Yup, 65 and it’s place 6.
- 21:03 mA2E of dS – 6. virtual disco chip
- 24:01 DJ Daemon: Look, there are tons of tracker tunes with dream in their names. So that’s nothing special, but “Dream” by RTS & Shexbeer of Addict does it exactly like it should be. I feel dreamy and soft and maybe a bit fluffy. 74 dreamy eyed points and place 5.
- 24:23 RTS and Shexbeer of Addict – 5. Dream
- 27:37 DJ Daemon: Place 4 and 93 points, close to the medals here folks! I wonder if the Germans are trying to sneak in some humour here by calling “Farbrauch” “Farcebrauch”, but it might just be a typo. Donny the Diskowboy has a very classic tracker tune feeling to it. It’s by RP of fartbrush, dishbrush, guybrush or something like that.
- 28:05 Rp^Farcebrauch – 4. Donny the Diskowboy
- 32:14 DJ Daemon: And so, let’s give it up for the third loooooser… Ehh… I mean third place and bronze medal. That would be Virgill of Alcatraz and Cherry Coke. 112 points awarded to very funky tune.
- 32:34 Virgill of Alcatraz – 3. Cherry coke.mod
- 35:26 DJ Daemon: Sulfur snake was born with a silver medal in its mouth as it gets second place. A tune that lives by it’s steady beat and methodic buildup of instruments. It’s by Teo of Focus design and rebels and get 114 points.
- 35:47 Focus design ^ rebels – 2. Sulfur Snake by teo
- 40:29 DJ Daemon: If it’s Bacter and Saga musix you can almost count on it being good. This one, with it’s softness and its flowing waves of chords really joins classic tracker music with a very 80s style to it. The winner gets 118 points.
- 40:50 Bacter Saga Musix – 1. Ocean Paradise
- 44:55 DJ Daemon: Let’s leave the samplers behind and take a stroll down memory lane into the old school competition of Deadline 2021. Eight tunes, and on place 8, we have the struggle of Waking up by Kamson. It gets 71 brand new points as this is a new competition.
- 45:18 Kamson – O8. The Struggle of Waking Up

- 01:12:12 DJ Daemon speaks.
- 01:12:31 Maniacs of Noise – O1. Nihil Admirari
- 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 much. I watched the clips from the introduction, and everything looked professional and good. And the lineup. Mostly good, with no tunes put into the competition as a joke. Those are no fun to play, as the listeners won’t like it.
- 01:16:43 Johannes Krupp – Dreaming of you
- 01:19:16 DJ Daemon speaks.
- 01:19:25 ericade.radio – We love the demo scene
📝 Transcript
If you thought the demo parties were done for 2021, you thought wrong. The signal this time comes from Germany and the demo party is called Deadline 2021. You know the drill?We start with the tracked music combo and place 13 is held by Byte Observer and the tune is called Back to the Polytope. It gets 45 points.
Nice fast tracker tune with some oddness to it. Next up is a propus Agrippa by Gentleman and it gives us a raw, rough and very digital feel to it. Place 12 and 50 points.
Rangsy comes in loud and clear at place 11 with I O E I OOMF. I'm sorry, if you come up with silly tune names I get a laugh at them. 50 free points awarded.
We have arrived at the real top list. You know, the one that starts at place 10. Remind me to get a jingle for that. And here it's Power Gold 1 that gives us the tune Mog Core. A pretty standard techno with a feeling that parts of it would fit a heavy action oriented game. Oh, sorry, almost forgot. 53 points.
Place 9 we have an admission of guilt if I may say so. The tune is called Monotone Lethargy. Artist Monotony seems to undervalue a very soft and soothing tune that gets 56 points.
Lace8 and ADKD seems like a grumpy old action adventure movie hero saying I work alone. The tune is called Solitary Work and gets 56 points.
Caramel of Proxima hits us with another Amiga 4 channel module. It's called Slow Mo Hopscotch. It has some sort of Middle East theme, but otherwise is pretty soft core techno beat. I really like this one, and it gets 63 points.
So the 70s are not back, nor is disco. That's in spite what a maze of DSR seems to believe as he has composed Virtual Disco Ship. It has zero disco feeling, but loads of ship tune ditto. This is one of the better ship tunes I've ever heard, and I like the softness of it. Points? Yep. It's 65 and plays 6.
Look, there are tons of tracker tunes with DREAM in their names. So that's nothing special. But DREAM by RTS and Shakespeare of ADDICT. do it exactly the way it should be done. It feels dreamy and soft and maybe a bit fluffy. 74 dreamy eyed points and place 5.
Lace 4 and 93 points. Close to the medals folks. I wonder if the Germans are trying to sneak some humor in here by calling Farbrauch Farsebrauch. But it might just be a typo. Donny the Discowboy has a very classic tracker tune feeling to it. It's by RP of Fartbrush, Deshbrush, Guybrush? Something like that.
And so let's give it up for the third loser... I mean the third place on the bronze medal. That would be Virgil of Alcatraz and the song is called Cherry Coach. 112 points awarded to a very funky tune.
Sulphur Snake was born with a silver medal in its mouth as it gets second place. A tune that lives by its steady beat and methodical build up of the instrument. It's by Theo of Focus Design and Rebels and gets 114 points.
If it is Bector and Saga Musics you can almost count on it being good. This one with its softness and its flowing waves of chords really joins classic tracker music with a very 80s style to it. The winner gets 118 points.
Let's leave the samplers behind and take a stroll down memory lane into the old school competition of Deadline 2021. 8 tunes and on place 8 we have the struggle of waking up by cams on. It gets 71 brand new points as this is a new competition.
At place 7 and getting 77 points, it's total breakfast by warp of fantasy.
I have something of a real love for Amiga and false tracker tunes and all that. But things done with SID chips and stuff like old Atari STs, that is not bad. This is why I like the old school thing as well. We are going to Place 6 and it's a memory of a promise by Florist.
I need to add that Memory of a Promise gets 85 points. So place number 5. would be Psycho Chills by Trius. It gets 97 points and a little bit of spogedness in mymay have invented a new word. Spokeness? I think spokeness feels better. And why not? It's almost Halloween. Just two weeks and here in Sweden we don't care much about it. That's just how it is. Anyway, we're going on with Beric and Hopeless. It's place four and it gets 107 points.
have recorded the Windows ding signal into the song. Sorry about that. We're going on with Danko, place number three, bronze and it's called Los Ringo's Modulatoris. It's a Commodore 64 tune and everybody knows what a ring modulator is, right?
So it's silver time and the silver goes to Delacy of Triad. Yeah, we have both Triad and Fairlight represented. It's a good day, I must say. The song is called Dishonour Club. Is that like Disney Club? We had that in Sweden as well, I remember. yes, point. Yeah, that would be a good idea. 140.
second winner so to speak. It's the old school competition and maniacs of noise. First place, Nihal Admirari. I think that's how you pronounce it. And it gets 174 points.
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.
Johannes Körrup, dreaming of you. That was what led you into the good night. So, I guess good night.
