For the first time in a long while, we are venturing beyond our own realms, and invite a guest from a scene not so different from ours: We have a chat with Alex McLean, a key figure of the Algorave movement, about the similarities and differences of our scenes and creative process. Let's see if we can draw some inspiration from each other!

Algoraves have been an ever-growing trend over the past ten years, in which musicians livecode their music to please the dancing masses.

Also, we chat about the Revision Satellites, share some exclusive insights into the survey they held earlier in the year, and reflect on Lovebyte that just happened prior to recording (and get Okkie to say "...in DOOOOOS" one more time.)

Finally!! Steph's back with an assortment of relaxing tunes for your listening enjoyment.

The time has come to celebrate and acknowledge the remixers' work in the C64 and Amiga remixing community by presenting the yearly ROTY Awards, as voted by the users at www.remix64.com. Presented by the hosts from SLAY Radio.

This year it's SLAY Radio's turn to give out the awards and give you a run-down of what happened in 2020.

2020 was one of the most active years in recent memory, with 174 c64 remixes, 48 Amiga remixes and a whopping 194 tracks over 11 albums, giving us a grand total of 416 tracks to enjoy!

So, join us as we go through some highlights of 2020 and announce the runner-ups and winners of each category!

As David Attenborough would put it: Today, we look at life at the smallest scale. Superogue from Marquee Design and Lovebyte Demoparty joins us to tell us more about Tiny Intros, the pleasures of hunting that last byte, and why it is not just for hardcore coders.

Also, we finally get an answer to Okkie's burning question on the origins of TPOLM's group name and wallow in memories of a time where we were not only immature teenagers, but also produced some awesome diskmags.

Welcome to Season 3! After the success in Finland and Germany, Poland just enlisted the Demoscene as Intangible Cultural Heritage - in this episode, we learn more what all of that means, about the process behind it and how this can help our scene and future adventures.

It's time to end another year, but that can't be done without another show, so here we go... Let's have a little smoothness guide us out from 2021...

We have delivered the 12th episode this year, as we promised: Our producers, now having satisfied their promise, join for the last episode to explain their motivations, their view on effort and discipline, and share their approach for creating and delivering projects.

We kick off this month with an audience question: Are themed music compos a net positive or net negative? Is there a loss of interest in music compos in general? After that, a discussion about demos using stock assets and commercial engines - is it worth it? Should it be shunned upon? Finally, the legend himself, IQ joins us to tell us the story and beginnings of Shadertoy, how he views the growth of the site and what makes it special, and retells some parts of his stellar career, how his beginnings in the scene allowed him to have it, and his views on the direction of the scene.

After a more than 4-year long hiatus, the now old boys are back for some ramblings and music. Did we say music? Yesch, let's go, join us!

Running the gamut - with Ferris

The versatility of the scene can be overwhelming, but also a sprawling playground for those who want to experience more and more of the possibilities of it all, and none has done more sweeping work across many areas than Ferris, who joins us to talk about his beginnings, his motivation to oscillate between oldschool and newschool platforms, his struggle to give up artistic control, and his desire to look for the next challenge.
