🎤 Production Notes
This was a big production and took a really long time to get done.Colophon:The flashpoint is the temperature at which a chemical compound self-ignites. It's a play on the idea that something catches fire as in "this show is totally on fire". And it was, super great demoparty.
📝 Transcript
If you like demo parties, it's a great time to be into retro computing, music and art history. This time it's Latin America checking in. Flash Party 2021 was held in Buenos Aires in Argentina. It was held on the 3rd to the 5th of September 2021. So today,It's a top list with 14 stream tunes and then 4 old school ones. Place 14 is Fren and Fired Friends with 66 points.
That was soft and smooth. And we move on to position 13 with Ray-N and Minus. It gets 83 points. This one joins retro sounds and experimental vibes with a brutal bone cracking bass.
Place 12 and Kamsam of Ind gives us Dreams We Lost. It's a tune getting lost here in the backside of the chart with 85 points, but it's dreamy, airy and soft.
Left behind at 11th place is Kehase Loko by Fur and it's not really up to the task of impressing the voters and maybe it's because it's almost no song there. After my unfortunate encounter with a tire pumping finn's last week I could really need a break.
I cut that short as I want you to continue to listen to the podcast. There is nothing to that tune anyway. Place 10 has Javier Bilet and Pista 98-955. It gets 91 points and me wondering if I need to cut that one short as well.
Yes, actually I do. I put a kajbox on that one. This is the kind of music they used to play on Swedish program 2 and led people to demand that the station was disbanded. It was not. Next up, let's try music instead. Place 9 has another more ethereal tune called Electrum by Liv.It starts slowly and then picks up speed, 103 points awarded.
Really sweet. Let's try some vocals that I cannot understand and it gives me some weird 90s vibes. That is the music, not the vocals. Interesting, the name is The Comienzos and it's by Checo. Place 8 and 105 points.
This party comes with some soft and sweet tunes. But if you wanna dance, sure go ahead. This one, Transistor Dance by Rytune, belongs on the dance floor. 106 points and seventh place. Get ready to cut a rug.
Did I just use 50's slang? Yes, I'm old. Not that old. Now let's spin D. James on the old vinyl player. Yes, I'm old. Really that old. And the tune is called It's Not a Synthwave. Sure, let's say that and give James 107 points and place 6.
Time to slow down. Sure, why not? Oktome grabs place 5 and 115 points with Lost in the Bitstorm. Sims are the staple of the demo scene. Let's just say that this one is sweet.
We have almost reached the medal position, but first we must pause, fourth place and listen to Raven's Tesseract. 120 points and a tune that could have been a backdrop to a really interesting movie. Are the samples from the Twilight Zone by the way? I'm not sure.
Just reached bronze position and it's Kransky telling us not to at him. The song is called Just Don't At Me. Not sure what that is, but we're not doing stuff like that on this station anyway. It's probably illegal or so. Place free and 124 points.
Let's put the radio in the dishwasher and let it rave loose with a dishwasher rave. By slew, the silver comes out shining afterwards. Hey, watch this. Watch this.
Winner! And it's Lass Pat Moritas and Winnie Winnie Winnie. The song is called Boom Boom Boom. 149 points ensuring epic victory. The song even has a text that I will link to in the description. Konga Rats are in order. Well done!
Let's kick it into high gear and switch to the old school music combo with 4 contestants and Yaja Cross getting the 4th position with 133 points and the tune is called Final X Journey.
Ship tuning it up. Third place goes to Dee James who is back with Storm Chaser. Heavy pumping music fit for a really cool game and it gets 145 points.
Second place and silver I guess. It's Kampson lowering the tempo a bit with Playa Paraiso. 163 points approve this one.
really nice. Another winner then. This one runs on a Gameboy or in my case an emulator. They kindly enclosed. Awesome. It's called Microcosmos by Utsuho and hits bullseye with 166 points.
And we are at the end of this show, this podcast if you want to. Big thanks to the Orgas of Flashparty 2021. Sounds a bit like Shadow Party because we have that as well, but that's France by the way. So we are leaving this, well, broadcast in a few minutes. But until then, remember today is the 11th of September 2021. It's exactly on the day20 years since the world changed in a way. Maybe sit down a while and think a little bit about the time it has been and those lost along the way. This is DJ Demon thanking you for listening and leading you into the good night.
Kevin Chao the epic in two days from now. It will be Monday and it's gonna be a special Monday. It's gonna be exactly on the day one year since the station the Ericade radio network started for the second time. Thank you for listening. We are going on with the last song Moby Rainy Night.
