New sources and pioneers for really old gaming music is hard to find. Especially those for the Commondore, Amiga and them 80s/90s consoles. And yes, while there definitely are some solid communities for demos (i.e <a href="http://www.pouet.net/">Pouet</a>), scene music (i.e <a href="https://www.scenestream.net/demovibes/">Nectarine Radio</a>), and even remixes (i.e <a href="https://remix.kwed.org/">Remix Kwed</a>, Slay Radio, w.m) and more retro gaming podcasts than you can throw your hat at, they seldom focus on <em>one platform</em>. Sometimes you just want to sit back and stay while with some curated retro tunes. <br /><br />One such foray into the specific is the <strong><a href="https://radio.ericade.net/">Ericade Radio Network</a></strong>, where it's all about the Amiga and the music made for that machine. <br /><br />Hosted by Daemon, a swedish programmer, that's been doing this more or less since the 90s (!) it's all about Amiga mod music in the purest sense. The radio features a live host that comments and talks about the music you listen to, which is a seldom treat these days. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V-t-HbuZKQ"><strong>You can listen to the radio stream here</strong></a>. <br /><br />They too have a podcast for some of their regularly scheduled contents that runs on Saturdays, called <a href="https://radio.ericade.net/podcast/">Amiga Flashback</a>. <br /><br /><em><strong>Notes</strong></em><br />This update is not affiliated, endorsed or paid in any means.
