ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
Time for another episode of Flashback. Tracks from the past. From the land down under comes Syntax Demo Party 2021. It sends its signal from Melbourne in Australia. And we have no idea at this time who won the competition. But this hour it's all about tracked compo entries, in my order. And first out is DJ Kesso.Pole Cut House 2. Really nice one, a bit too short, but with a fine techno-ish sound.
DJ Daemon speaks.
DJ Queso – 6. Cold cut house 2
DJ Daemon speaks.
DJ Kesso as I said, and he hails from the United States. Next up is ADKD, and it's Norway. Bergen Hårdaland, Norway to be exact. He is also known as Kaffir Slimer and Govvatsa Padam. I don't know if I got that one right. I don't think so. His song is called Blue Sky Diving. Klassik Amiga. Klassik, Klassik, Klassik.
ADKD – 4. Blue sky diving
DJ Daemon speaks.
US and Norway. The question is can the Australians themselves do some good music? Yeah they can! Alpharisk and Syntax Hansen. Yeah he is also known as Acid Rain and is located in Venturna, South Knox, Victoria and yeah that's Australia.
Alpharisc – 10. Syntax Handsome
DJ Daemon speaks.
Well, we got more from Australia. This time is Citrix, his real name is Chris, and the song is called 25K House.
cTrix – 3. 25k House
DJ Daemon speaks.
nice so far. I have no idea who's gonna win but I will post the results on the podcast episode description tomorrow. Anyway next up is Baba is redacted. I don't know what's redacted here but I probably don't want to know. Official credits say that it's keygenismmade this happen but I also noted that there is a NoxW claiming to be one of the collaborators so we'll go with that. Nice tune!
Keygenism+Noxw – 11. Baba is [REDACTED]
DJ Daemon speaks:
yes, we've gone through a lot of genres so far. Jazz, had synthy loops, techno sounds, something more heavy. Good mix so far if you ask me. Now it's Sweden's time. It's Kordon or KRDM of Defiance. Rebel flavor. And if you remember Defiance is a group that also produced Slays, but he's not participating this time.
KRDN of Defiance – 8. Rebel, flavour
DJ Daemon speaks.
Yeah, it sounds like defiance alright. And that is a good thing. Arigato, Mr. Roboto. Yeah, Mr. Roboto hails from Australia and comes with some nice spare change.
Mr. Roboto – 5. Spare Change
DJ Daemon speaks.
There is definitely nothing wrong with your radio. Distortion has sounded that way since Jimi Hendrix invented it. Next up is Finland, yes, our brothers to the east. Mutatios or Samijutinen gives us liver box and sour milk.
Mutetus of Onslaugh – 2. Liverbox and Sourmilk
Sound, sound, in my body, rock and roll Sound, sound, vibe in my body, rock and roll
DJ Daemon speaks.
Everyone that saw the demo Compostream knows that it was accompanied by a robot, animated bender so to speak. It looked a little bit like him. Drunk as a skunk with hypno-toed eyes. yeah, he was kinda crazy. Perfect song for him, that one. Well, we are going on with Power Gold 1 from Germany and Mechanicus.
Powergold1 – 1. Mechanicus
DJ Daemon speaks.
We need to slow down a bit. And we do that with Fractured Opus by Pseleducks. And he is from Australia. yes, then it's just one more tune and then we're out. But don't worry, the program will go on.
Pselodux – 07. Fractured Opus
DJ Daemon speaks.
Now we are almost out of songs, one remain. And that will be Scorpion with Turbo Gabber. This one was a bit hard for me to find, got the tune, it was mislabeled in all ways it can be. But thankfully the artist himself helped me finding out the data. Thank you Scorpion, who by the way hails from North Karelia in Finland.
Sc0rpion – 09. Turbogabber
DJ Daemon speaks.
And that's the last of the tracks from the tracked competition. It's saturday today and I have not been able to get all the chiptunes, so sorry we're have to take a rain check on that one. It's always this way because the orgas are very busy, but still they actually found a little bit of time in their busy schedules and sent me the tracked tunes. So big thank you to all of you, really really helpful, I'm happy for that.We're gonna talk a little bit about the demo party, but now we're switching to Dr. Awesome, but tunes you've never heard from him on this station. It's missed.
Dr. Awesome – The Mist
DJ Daemon speaks.
So what about the demo party? Was it any good? Well, yes, yes it was. I haven't had the time to watch every single minute of it, but it was professionally produced and okay, all demo parties go into some troubleshooting mode and trying to find the right cables and... Why doesn't this work? And eventually it does. But still, they were pretty good at keeping the times and good show, good entertainment and lots of nice things to see.One thing that blew my mind a little bit was actually the Mega 65 demo. Yeah, the Mega 65 is a FPGA implementation of Commodore's failed Commodore 65, the one that they never ever released. Yeah, that is something.
Dr. Awesome – Stale Socks
DJ Daemon speaks.
From the department of I don't really wanna know, that was Dr. Awesome's stale socks. The demo party called Syntax Party 2021, it ran between today and the 27th of November, and it will end tomorrow on Sunday. But I don't really have time to cover that part of it. So I wish to thank you for listening. Some more Dr. Awesome tunes coming right up.you normally never hear on this station.
Dr. Awesome – Squish!
DJ Daemon speaks.
weird ending of Squish. Yeah, it's Dr. Awesome. Okay, so what's up on the station? Yeah, a few things are going on. I have actually updated the homepage, ericade.radio, so you can take a look there. You can see all the information on what's playing in a much better way. And also the best of ericade.radio, the news station, the backup station, the one running on the podcasts. It also shows what's playing and some informationevery episode. So take a look there. And next week actually finally you will get the starring system so you can rate the best and worst shows or the best and the worst track music on this station. Anyway going on with some more music we are close to the end.
Dr. Awesome – Skinny Dipping
DJ Daemon speaks.
And that was Dr. Awesome and Skinny Dipping. LaSong in this podcast, this broadcast hour, whatever you want to call it, is Dr. Awesome Mechanics. This is me, DJ Daemon, with two little lessons. First of all, you need to listen to this podcast next Saturday at 9 PM, because then another episode will be out. And two, don't drive over your toes with your office chair.

🎙 People in this podcast episode
He got his Commodore 64 in 1989 and his first Amiga in 1990. A huge fan of tracker music and have had a long standing dream to create a radio show playing that kind of music. In 2020, that dream came true and in december Amiga Flashback started as a podcast. It was later renamed Flashback, tracks from the past and here we are.
He is also an orga for Swedish demo party Edison and a total retro nerd.

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.
- 84.7 MB
- 88 822 068 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.
- 1:00:38
- 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.
- 195 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.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 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.
- −16.0 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.
- 6.9 LU
- moderate
- 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.
- 0.7 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 12
- 12.0 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.
- −17.7 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.
- −17.4 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.
- 0.27 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.
- −12.4 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.
