00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with another demo party top list
00:06 DJ Daemon here, aaaaaaaaaaaand…. Today's party is QBParty23 from Hungary, that ended last week. But before we sink our teeth into that, here is a brand new tune from JosSs. It's called "Calling for 4 cracktros".
00:20 Josss - Calling 4 Cracktros
01:50 ericade.radio - Flashback, track from the past - let the toplist begin
01:55 DJ Daemon speaks: Lets talk QBParty: it comes with seven entries for the Combined music party. So all isn't tracked music, but I don't care. It's just that good.
02:05 ericade.radio - Sixth place
02:07 DJ Daemon speaks: Here you find Attractors by Brian. A dreamy, but somewhat noisy beginning. And then it goes techno. 77 points.
02:15 Brian - Attractor
07:24 ericade.radio - Fifth place
07:26 DJ Daemon speaks: Matthew Newcastle has composed the next entry, a tune called Frozen heart. Airy song, that goes full techno after a while. 78 points.

10:26 ericade.radio - Fourth place
10:28 DJ Daemon speaks: We seldom play sidtunes here at ericade. But this we have to play. It's close to medalposition. And it's You never bend me of the wave. The artist is Ziny6581. And he gets 83 points. The tune is jumpy and fresh. We all love us some C64.
10:46 Xiny6581 - You never bend me over the wave
14:54 ericade.radio - Third place - Bronze medal
14:57 DJ Daemon speaks: Teo comes in close to the lead. But has to do with 85pts. The songs is called Tranced at 3 am and gets 85 pts. It comes with a spaced out and spooky feeling and then goes the classic 90s techno route.

18:00 ericade.radio - Second place - Silver medal
18:03 DJ Daemon speaks: Checs of HPM gives us "Algoritmo". It's a weird mix between computer game music and demo music. 93 points and a silver medal polish.

20:27 ericade.radio - First place - The Gold! - The Winner
20:32 DJ Daemon speaks: We have a winner… Actually we have two, but I will get there. Our champion is Los Pat Moritas and the song is called Hungary. The name of the song suggests a successful bribing of the judges. You know the party was held there. :) 94 points.

24:53 ericade.radio - First place - The Gold! - The Winner
24:58 DJ Daemon speaks: And another winner. It also gets 94 points and the second gold. Teo again with Technosys. A driven baserythm keeps this speed racer of a boat afloat.

28:21 Slaze - Rex Lacerta
