What is this station? Short answer: synthwave, chiptunes, tracked music and retro electro. Please enjoy a trip down memory lane. Longer answer: If you want to understand what this station is about, consider the following story: "It was another time", as they use to say to excuse or accept bad stuff. But this was not the case with the old classic home computers of the 80s and 90s. This was a time of wonder and trying to do with the limited resources that was available. A whole generation learned Basic and then some struggled with assembly language. A new breed of graphics artists, musicians, programmers and authors used the computers of the time as a platform of development. This is off course how it is even today, but it was here where it started. We've asked ourselves many questions in order to understand what the revolution would mean for us: the users, the programmers and the hackers of the day. One final question remains: my god, has it been this long? Yes, in fact it has! The Amiga came into this world in 1985, and that’s 35 years ago in 2020. The original Soundtracker was a commercial application that emerged in the 80s, and spawned a revolution all by itself. It allowed anyone to create songs with sampled music requiring almost no experience. Soundtracker was quickly outmaneuvered by a lot of Shareware clones like Noisetracker and Startrekker to name a few. And suddenly music came streaming out of Paula, the only soundcard/chip the Amiga ever had or needed. Then came the PC and added more channels and better samplers, suddenly we had Impulsetracker, Fasttracker and various other fantastic tools to make the music the artist created even more magic. And now, you can hear the fruit of their labor. Tunes, mostly sampled, that brings back the many talents fostered by the home computer revolution we just talked about.
