Squeezing in one last show before the end of 2022!!

dojoe has friends over and plays some relaxed DnB for them, and he's taking y'all along for the ride!

With the season turning colder, h0ffman and kiero join us on a virtual bonfire to intimately share their experiences, feelings and anecdotes about competing.

Welcome to episode 26, our biggest episode yet!

Sceners are a peculiar bunch, juggling creativity and technical prowess, often even within the same individuals.

What does it do with us to create, compete and socialise in this environment, and how can we take care of ours’ and others’ wellbeing?

We explore the psychology behind the demoscene, demoparties and demomaking with Tom, who does not just create amazing Atari-demos with Genesis Project, Effect and SMFX, but also lectures on Community Psychology at the University of Leeds.

We appreciate that even two hours can’t do justice to all angles of this complex topic. If you would like to share your thoughts, stories and questions, send them to [email protected] or to our social media accounts. If you are interested and we receive enough feedback, we might produce a follow-up in the future.

The Scene is Dead! Or is it? How do newcomers experience the demoscene when joining these days, and how did the pandemic and lack of physical events impact them?

We are talking to Tobach, famed for sheep and fantastic demos on exotic devices - and give Okkie a good while to talk about the release of his first demo (he did it, people!!)

Join Steph for some audio relaxation time!

For the past couple of years, demos in JS, running in Web Browsers have become a fixed part of the demo compos. We invite Ninjadev to chat about their work, their own tool nin and other groups and productions. Join us for an all-new episode after our longer break - it's great to be back!

Steph and Kevman emerge from the shadows to bring you a new show!

25 years ago in Northern Germany, an Amiga/C64 demoparty called "Symposium" and a PC demoparty called "Mekka" decided to merge and do one common demoscene event on Easter, bringing the Home computer and PC demoscene under one roof. Something unthinkable at the time.

This was the beginning of a tradition that was eventually carried on by Breakpoint and resulted in Revision, the world's biggest pure demoparty.

Ah, the kids we were...! But wait, what about kids today? In the second half of the episode, we explore how kids perceive the digital world today, how they enter it and get educated about it, and if the demoscene can still be relevant for this generation.

So what better time of the year to invite Steeler, travelling all the way from the 1980s to this day, learn from his insights as a media education advisor, and ponder with him about the next generation's approach to creativity and tinkering.

Lean back and get ready for a MASSIVE episode!
