- 00:00 ericade.radio - Time for another episode of Flashback - Tracks from the past
- 00:06 DJ Daemon: I've covered many demo parties during the last year, and one thing that always instills me with hope is when I see the name E!ghtBM in the list of competitors. Today, we give you a whole hour of his music, most of the songs unheard on this station. Let's roll. E!ghtBM - Hey santa! squeeze your fat white ass down that chimney tonight
- 00:28 E!ghtBM - Hey santa! squeeze your fat white ass down that chimney tonight
- 02:24 DJ Daemon: Christmas is over, but this had to be the first song any way, as it's a cool tune and done as a four track Amiga-tune. Released on the 19th december and its got 3rd place in the Forndata 2020 competition. We will talk about the artist in a few minutes, but we must go on with the next tune. Andromeda survivors, a soft tune that picks up tempo. It may only have reached place 9 in the Outline 2021 competition, but still show case his skills and acumen. I totally missed this one, but it has now been rectified. Nice use of Fasttracker.
- 03:15 E!ghtBM - Andromeda survivors
- 08:01 DJ Daemon: So, what do we know about the artist? He is Polish and his real surname or givenname is most likely Marcin. He is credited with 35 releases by DemoZoo and seems to have become active in the scene during 2019. Next up is Blackcurrant magic. It hit place 7 on the 28th of September in the Flash party 2019 tracked music competition. The title sounds like the name of an eastern European brand of really horrible alcohol, but it's instead a very jumpy tune with a serious chip-tune quality to it.
- 08:51 E!ghtBM - Blackcurrant magic
- 11:34 DJ Daemon: Last song was done with FastTracker, and so is the next one. It's called Beyond the sunshine and got to fifth place in the DEMOSPLASH 2019 freestyle audio competition. It was released on the 9th of November that year. A driven tune with a slow start that builds up speed. Kinda what we expect from many of his tunes.
- 11:59 E!ghtBM - Beyond the sunshine
- 15:54 DJ Daemon: We need to get back to the more jumpy cuteness of a really good Amiga four channel tracker mod, and this is done with Tove Jansson's groove. Here E!ghtBM references Finnish/Swedish childrens book author Tove Jansson, most famous for her stories about the Moomin-trolls. It got to second place in the Gubbdata 2019 competition and was released on the 29th of June that year.
- 16:26 E!ghtBM - Tove Jansson's groove
- 18:33 DJ Daemon: Let's slow the tempo down quite a bit, and it's easily done with E!ghtBM's "Sunday room full of stars". It was released on the 22nd of February in the Chaos constructions 2020 winter invitation music competition and landed on 2nd place with it's Fasttracker goodness.
- 18:57 E!ghtBM - Sunday room full of stars
- 21:46 DJ Daemon: Time to dance in front of your radio or computer? Sure, why not? Polarstern brutalism give you heavy beats and soft chord and is not really what you may expect from him. But is executed well and makes good use of Fasttracker.
- 22:06 E!ghtBM - Polarstern Brutalism
- 26:01 DJ Daemon: Ok, now we must go for a little bit more funky feeling with The university of the 90s (8bits party version) hat has E!ghtBM exploring a cooler style of tracker music. 2nd place in the Outline 2019 oldschool music competiton. It shows what the not so humble Amiga mod-format can do and was released on the 1st of June.
- 26:32 E!ghtBM - The university of the 90s (8bits party version)
- 28:06 DJ Daemon: Can we get enough of the cool, funky style? Nooooo! Not happening. Here is Stay cool, Daddy-O. Fasttracker off course and it got 2nd place in the Assembly 2020 winter tracked music competition. Released on the 22nd of February.
- 28:27 E!ghtBM - Stay cool, Daddy-O
- 30:55 DJ Daemon: Take to the skies with Lilienthal's Aparatum, which probably is a reference Otto Lilienthal, an early inventor in the history of aviation. It's a tune sounding very E!ghtBM with his signature style of composition. It's the murder weapon that killed its way to the 8th place in the Syntax 2020 tracked music competition as it was released on the 28th of November that year. Upbeat, a bit heavy and with a perky shimmer to it. Dance to it, I dare you!
- 31:33 E!ghtBM - Lilienthals aparatum
- 34:10 DJ Daemon: Same, same, but different. Next up is System Override, where E!ghtBM keeps the tempo going in a track released on the 9th of June in the Flashback 2019 tracked competition. Now you should know that his tool of choice is Fasttracker.
- 34:32 E!ghtBM - System override
- 36:53 DJ Daemon: This one is a bit on the weird side as it has vocals and is a classic Amiga 4 channels module. Summertime with Kimberly is well spent time and a pretty heavy construct that crashed into place 7 in the Flash party 2019 music competition on the 28th of September. No surprise here: it starts slowly and then builds up tempo. I love hearing this being done for everyone favourite girl friend, the Amiga.
- 37:27 E!ghtBM - Summer with Kimberly
- 41:16 DJ Daemon: The last of our new tunes for this station brutally enters the stage: Transformata 137. It's a techno style tune with a very crushing style and driven tempo. It may be the road less travelled for E!ghtBM, but he moves down that road with style and precision. It was a well deserved first place in the Xenium tracked msx competiton and was released on the 31st of August. Warning for explicit language in this Fasttracker tune.
- 41:53 E!ghtBM - Transformata
- 13745:02 DJ Daemon: For the rest of the hour: E!ghtBMs tunes already on this station. So, what do I think of the artist? Here presented in bullet points: E!ghtBM, according to me:• Deserves to be at the top of the chart in the compos.• In the places he gets to, receives a bit of an undeserved under-appreciation. • Is consistently great and varies his style a bit. • A Fasttracker-expert which makes Amiga modules sound great again. • Seems to be in it for the compos and that's all right with me. • Likes punny titles and pop-culture references in his titles.
- 45:41 E!ghtbm - Ephidrena memories
- 49:02 DJ Daemon: This tune and the next one is from his participation in demo parties during 2021. I covered both in the Flashback-series of podcasts previously.

🎤 Production Notes
Just an idea that popped into my head as I was thinking about what to do. E!ghtBM is a staple at each and every demoparty. I had to make a special show about him.Colophon:The title has no pun or referential meaning. I struggled to find one, and gave up. Try yourself coming up with a pun on "E!ghtBM". :)
📝 Transcript
Time for another episode of Flashback. Tracks from the past. I've covered many demo parties during the last year and one thing that always instills me with hope is when I see the name 8BM in the list of the competitors. Today we give you a whole hour of his music, most of the songs unheard on this station. Let's roll!
Senta, squeeze your fat white ass down that chimney tonight! Christmas is over, but this had to be the first song anyway, as it's a cool tune and done as a 4-track mega-tune. Released on the 19th of December and it got third place in the Fondota 2020 competition.We will talk about the artist 8BM in a few minutes, but we must go on with the next tune. Andromeda's Survivors, a soft tune that picks up tempo. It may only have reached place 9 in the Outline 2021 competition, but still showcase his skills and acumen. I totally missed this one, but this has now been rectified. Nice use of FastTracker.
So what do know about the artist? He is Polish and his real surname or given name is most likely Marcin. He is credited with 35 releases by Demosu and seems to have become active in the scene during 2019. Next up is Black Current Magic.It hit play seven on the 28th of September in the Flash Party 2019 Tracked Music Competition. The title sounds a little bit like the name of an Eastern European brand of really horrible alcohol. But it's instead a very jumpy tune with a serious chiptune quality to it.
Our song was done with FastTracker and so is the next one. It's called Beyond the Sunshine and got to 5th place in the DemoSplash 2019 Freestyle Audio Competition. It was released on the 9th of November that year. A driven tune with a slow start that builds up speed. Kinda what we expect from many of his tunes.
We need to get back to the more jumpy cuteness of a really good Amiga 4-channel tracker mod. And this is done with Tove Jansson's Groove. Here 8BM references Finnish-Swedish children's book author Tove Jansson, most famous for her stories about the Moomin Trolls.It got to second place in the Goopdata 2019 competition and was released on the 29th of June of that year.
It slowed down the tempo quite a bit and it's easily done with 8BM's Sunday Room Full of Stars. It was released on the 22nd of February in the Chaos Constructions 2020 Winter Invitation Music Competition and landed on second place with its Fast Tracker Goodness.
Is it time to dance in front of your radio or computer? Sure, why not? Polarstern Brutalism gives you heavy beats and soft chords, and it's not really what you expect from him. But it's executed well and makes good use of FasTracker.
Okay, now we must go for well a little bit more funky feeling with the University of the 90s the 8-bits party version This has 8bm exploring a cooler style of tracker music second place in the outline 2019 old-school music competition it shows what the not-so-humble Amiga mod format can do and was released on the 1
Do we get enough of the cool funky style? No! Not happening! Not happening! Here is Stay Cool Daddy-O. Fast Tracker of course and it got to second place in the Assembly 2020 Winter Track Music Competition. Released on the 22nd of February.
Take to the skies with Lilenthal's Apparatum, which is probably a reference to Otto Lilenthal, an early inventor in the history of aviation. It's a tune sounding very 8BM, with his signature style of composition. It's the murder weapon that killed its way to the 8thplace in the Syntex 2020 Tracked Music Competition as it was released on the 28th of November that year. Upbeat, a bit heavy, with a perky shimmer to it. Dance to it, I dare you!
Same same, but different. Next up is System Override, where 8BM keeps the tempo going in a track released on the 9th of June in the Flashback 2019 Track Competition. Now you should know that his tool of choice is FasTracker.
This one is a bit on the weird side, as it has vocals and is a classic Amiga 4 channels module. Summertime with Kimberly is well spent time, and a pretty heavy construct that crashed into place 7 in the Flash Party 2019 music competition that ran on the 28th of September. No surprise here, it starts slowly and then builds up tempo.I love hearing this being done on everyone's favorite girlfriend, the Amiga.
Last of our new tunes for this station brutally enters the stage, Transformata 137. It's a techno style tune with a very crushing style and driven tempo. It may be that road less traveled for 8BM, but he moves down that road with style and precision. It was a well deserved first place in the Zenium tracked MSX competitionand was released on the 31st of August. Warning for explicit language in this fast-tracker tune.
What's the drop bombs on you motherfuckers?
So what do I think about the artist? Here presented in bullet points, 8BM according to me deserves to be at the top of the chart in the compost. In the places he gets to, he receives a bit of undeserved underappreciation. He is consistently great and varies his style a bit. He is a fast tracker expert and also makes Amiga modules sound great again.He seems to be in it for the compos and that's alright with me. He likes punny titles and pop culture references in his titles.
8pm, Ephidrena memories. This tune and the next one is from his participation in the demo parties during 2021. I covered both in the flashback series of podcasts.
All my circuits. Yeah, it is a Futurama reference. This is me, DJ Demon, and here is some good news on the station. We've hit 1.0! Yes, actually all the things I thought about during summer and autumn 2021, they are all complete. Request system, check. You can request tunes, yes, absolutely. can search for tunes, check. You can star the ones you like.and all the other good stuff. It's done. Next version I will talk about that in a few weeks, but it's gonna be some goodness for the YouTube and Twitch channels. This is DJ Demon and we are going on with more, well, 8pm, who else would it be?
Let's rock!
Retro Super Future 87 and leading you into the good night is Rainbow Crash 80s. This has been an artist special of the podcast known as Flashback Tracks from the past.
