87. 88 keys to heaven 07.05.2022

83. The world according to GERP 09.04.2022

GERP 2022 was held in Skövde in Sweden and presented most of what you want of from a demoparty when it comes to music. You got chiptunes and modtunes off course. But also Virgills new "AmigaKlang" was used for some of the executable tunes. Great music, with many fit for platform games that never were. DJ Daemon wryly talks about the different tunes and what he thinks about them. Playlist: 00:00 er...

82. Toppermost of the poppermost 02.04.2022

Today's tracked music genre is ... Drumroll .... Popmusic. It's the music that is easily seen as nondescript and generic. But actually, the collection in ModArchive, is quite good. And it's an hour with soft and nice tunes from talented artists as presented by DJ Daemon. Playlist: 00:00 ericade.radio - Time for another episode of Flashback - Tracks from the past 00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: Our fight t...

80. An evening with an electric DJ Daemon 20.03.2022

Tired due to a heavy work weekend and in a need for some silly fun! So, that’s what’s up for dinner on this show. We only eat the dessert today. Pointless, comical and really enjoyable songs like pirate shanties, parodies and sample heaven (hell?).DJ Daemon is on fire and gives you the tracked music scenes most silly, but really cool stuff like bananas that are tasty, cartoon sampling and piratey...

77. Party till the cows come home 26.02.2022

Last week it was classic music. And today DJ Daemon lets his hair down. What little he has left, that is. It’s time for a party at the barn. It will go on until the cows come home, if anyone is still standing, that is. Today, we play bluegrass and country and western, as envisioned by the scene’s tracked artists. Note: today marks the 27th anniversary of DJ Daemon entering the airwaves on a regula...

76. Concert for music trackers in D major 19.02.2022

We did a jazz-episode last summer, so inspired from that, we now look into the big collection of classic tunes and classic sounding tunes made on all kinds of trackers on PCs and Amigas. It’s soft piano concerts and big symphonies. DJ Daemon talks a bit about the tunes and reads comments from users on Modarchive. So sit down, sip some red wine and feel a little more sophisticated in front of your...

"Just one more turn" has been the bane of students, people with work in the morning and anyone looking for some sleep.

Correction: the game was relea...

73. Treasure hunting the comments 29.01.2022

All tracked tunes has instrument list, used to name the samples. These are often used to instead write comments and greeting by the artist and some are quite creative and sometimes insane. DJ Daemon reads some of the instrument lists and comments on ModArchive and discusses them briefly. This puts an extra dimension to the tracked tunes. Maybe not the most legendary comments ever made, but some a...

So long, 2021! DJ Daemon broadcast this show live on 2021-12-31 at 9 PM CET as per usual. And this is mostly the music and some commentary on selected tunes by some of the other tracker artists on Modarchive. All read loud by an amused DJ Daemon. No need to sum up 2021, we did that a few weeks ago. Instead, enjoy the music and some words at the end by me. This is the second hour out of three. Play...

68. Four channels to the wind - first hour 25.12.2021

Today, about 55 percent of all tunes on Ericade.radio are Amiga 4 tracker modules and the percentage keeps dropping. Since Amiga is the starting point of it all, I wanted to go back to the roots of tracker music and this station. So, here are two hours jampacked with great tunes that graced the Amiga during the early 90s that you never heard on Ericade.radio before today! Playlist: 00:00 ericade.r...

66. That was the year it was 11.12.2021

It’s not really time to sum the year of 2021 up yet… But I couldn’t wait, so I told the stories of some of the retro events of the year that it was.– The upcoming Amiga500 mini.– The newest Vampire V4 (Icedrake and Firebird)– The death of sir Clive Sinclair and the 2017(!) ZX “reboot”.– I incorrectly stated that the A500 mini will come out 2021-03-31. Pretty obviously it’s 2022-03-31. Also, it’s A...

65. Mafiaboy vs the world 04.12.2021

In 2019, IT-säkerhetspodden, another podcast I participate in met with legendary hacker “Mafiaboy”. I and Mattias Jadesköld got to speak with Michael Calce, which is his real name.
