More compos on this lovely Sunday here at Revision 2024.

First compo block of Revision 2024 Sunday, a good way to start the day! Remember, due to DST silliness, if your local timezone does not have the switch to DST on this Sunday, this compo is one hour earlier!

Last compo block of Saturday here at Revision!

Second compo block of Revision, the first compo night is about to start!

First compo of Revision 2024! \o/

So, what be this? Well, I thought I'd do a little check-in to see if anyone wants to hang out for a while. I'll do some talking, play some music and overall just hang out. Please join, whydontcha?! :)

So first show on my own (Firefox) with help from ALPA. In the wake of ROTY 2023. A little rambling and more music. No requests this time since I need to get warm in the saddle managing and twiddling the knobs. Some chaos is about to happen :).

The time has come to celebrate and acknowledge the remixers' work in the C64 and Amiga community by presenting the yearly ROTY Awards, as voted by the users at www.remix64.com. So, join us as we go through some highlights of 2023 and announce the runner-ups and winners of each category!

Sooo, let's start the new year with some great music and overall nonsentual banter... Join us!

The final Cozy Corner and overall show of the year. Let Ziphoid smoothly guide you into the end of 2023 and put a solid baseline for 2024...

Steph and Kevman have a little end of year show for you!

The last compo block of the last TRSAC (ever! – or so they say), and you do not want to miss this one. It’s going to be epic!

The Animation/Video Compo has been pushed back to the last compo block, so now this one will be ONLY ACID!

More music compo from your favourite TRSAC, Streaming Music time! \o/

The first compo of TRSAC 2023 is about to start, and it’s going to be music! \o/

Everyone loves themselves a good movie, just like a good realtime-rendered scene - and as we do with the latter, some people take their passion obscenely far in making their favourite movies the best they can be. We talk with Bobson Dugnutt about fanedits, a small scene that might seem familiar in all but its final products.

The last compo block of Evoke 2023. If you missed all compo blocks until now and also miss this one, you missed all of Evoke!

More compo blocks, more music compos! \o/

This will be the last compo block of Nordlicht 2023! It’ll start out with the 512 Bytes Intro compo (not covered in this show), followed by oldschool and newschool demo compos, and to top it off there will be a Wild compo, too!

Another compo block, directly from Nordlicht 2023! And it’s another music compo, the Streaming Music compo! Get your stomp on!

The final stretch of the reveal special where even more tracks will be played and we'll get some more insights from people who have been highly involved in the creation.

Steph & Kevman shows off even more gems from the massive compilation!

The reveal continues! Bombe brings the tempo up and shows off some more aural delight!

The first part of the release evening where Truck will play some tracks and ramble some words!

As we learn in this episode, the executable graphics competition just celebrated its 18th birthday! High time we talk to one of the most regarded creators of those little programs - yx is joining us to talk about the creation process and the community behind it.

It's music. It's Amiga. It's a bunch of new remixes of legendary Amiga tunes - both game soundtracks and demoscene tunes - given new life by legendary musicians! This is the release party of the full compilation, playing all the tracks and having a chat with more than one of the involved arrangers! Don't miss this! :)

Just a mini-edition of a Cozy Corner, simply because it's been way too long...

Music compos and more!

It's H0ffman time!

Part deux. Moar compos! More stuff!

PAAAARTY!

Is there more to gimmicks and satire than just blatant knee-slappers and cheap audience-pleasing? Does humour free oneself from too many expectations and limitations? Or is it limiting in its own ways? With the topic so close to his own heart, okkie chats with jco, who has been leaving audiences somewhere between laughing and confused about story-driven productions with characters such as Kevin and Evilbot, all while also developing impressive tool chains and technologically apt productions that don't have to hide behind the absurdity... or do they?

Steph and Kevman are finally back with a new show! Please join us!

The time has come to celebrate and acknowledge the remixers' work in the C64 and Amiga community by presenting the yearly ROTY Awards, as voted by the users at www.remix64.com. So, join us as we go through some highlights of 2022 and announce the runner-ups and winners of each category!s

Oh, 20 years already. That's quite a bit. Here's a little show to celebrate this fact where we'll try to pick out some favourite remixes as well as bringing up some original tracks that we might think SHOULD be remixed instead. Join us!

So, 14 years have passed. We think they've been pretty good, but can be even better. Let's relive the show that started it all!

It was the end of the year, so our producers joined the hosts to wind down, have some fun and reminisce about their first year as part of the team. We give some insights and thoughts from behind the scenes, talk about our favourite episodes, parties and anything that happened in 2022 - and give some first hints what's to come for 2023.

New year, new Soothing Sounds! Join Steph for some relaxing music on a rare Monday show!

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 zineradioshow@scene.org or to our social media accounts. If you are interested and we receive enough feedback, we might produce a follow-up in the future. Disclaimer: If you are in distress or have a medical emergency, please seek out professional help immediately: https://findahelpline.com/

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.)

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!

A one-hour mix of scene music highlights from the demoparties of 2021.

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.

Even nostalgia isn't the same anymore The scene is nothing if not a giant ball of sobbing about how everything was better when computers were just growing their eighth bit - but is that a good thing? Are we taking up the space from the future with the past? What's better, to make a fresh demo on an old platform, or an old demo on a fresh platform? The show dives into these weighty questions while, naturally, reminiscing about old times, because of course.

Time for another show! Tune in to see what kind of theme Steph and Kevman cooked up this time!

The joy of livecoding - with Flopine. There's just no denying it: over the last few years the livecoding craze took the demoscene by storm - but what is it? Is it part of the scene? How does it project onto the scene? Where does it meet the scene and where does it avoid it? We sit down with Flopine, the perhaps most prominent personality of the livecoding community, to gain more understanding of what it is and what it isn't, and what her experiences are in the field. Finally, we also have a call to action for you.

Fnord will bring our Sound of SceneSat reveal party to a close. Don't worry though because there are still plenty of amazing tracks for you to discover once the party is over!

Steph and Kevman are up next to share some more great tracks from the Sound of SceneSat Volume 6.

Bombe will continue The Great Reveal and play some of his favourite tracks from SoS6. Unz Level: ★★☆☆☆, Awesomeness Level: ★★★★★!

The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! The Sound of SceneSat Volume 6 is ready for all to hear! Ziphoid will start off the reveal with some of the cozy tracks from this great new compilation.

Steph will present another selection of soothing music to help you prepare for the week ahead!!

No, really - why DO people make demos? Most of us have been in the scene for a decade or more - so much that it's become second nature. But in 2021, with the massive reach of social media and various other computer art outlets gaining popularity - why would anyone else start making demos? Are we just doing it out of nostalgia and muscle memory? The show takes a look at the shifting relevance of the scene!

Oh boy, it's been a while, hasn't it? Surely some parties must have happened in the mean time?

There sure have been a whole bunch of parties and one of them will be the focus of tonight's show. You will hear tracks from (almost) all competitions in all kinds of style and you are bound to like at least some of them, I promise!

The turn of the millennium pushed the demoscene to cover a lot of online ground, but now 20 years later modern Internet habits and centralization is putting undue pressure on the actively used websites, while other sites just wither out once the maintainers leave. The show discusses the reasons, the problems, the prospects, and possible solutions to this ongoing conundrum.

Let's watch (and listen to) some cool demos!!

Have you recently been thinking to yourself: "I wonder which songs are the top voted over the last 6 years?" Steph and Kevman have the answers! Tune in for a special comeback Sat-U-Rated!

The curve of vaccinations slowly gives us hope of crawling back to regular party season as we look at yet another wave of online parties, and a few potentially IRL ones as well; we also discuss the aging out of demoscene websites, some cool new projects and why it’s so hard to find people to help with such projects. Then, Noby joins the show to talk about what direction means in the demoscene, what principles one should follow, and why it matters in a demo.

#11: Revision, Revision, Revi[This channel was banned] The event we’ve been waiting for for a whole year is now behind us, so it’s time to dissect it: The show takes aim at Revision 2021 Online, discusses the competitions, the highlights, the events, how it felt to be once again stuck at home for Easter - and of course, a debate about the notorious Twitch ban, whether it was justified, how it affected the event, and what can be done to avoid it in the future.

A couple of weeks after the original airdate, here's episode 10 of the ZINE Radio Show podcast. As we slowly crawl out of winter and head into spring, the show takes a look at the various upcoming online events, discusses the appeal (or lack thereof) of tiny intros, as well as a peek at the major awards being handed out to the demos, intros, and other projects achieved last year. Then, Rimina joins us for a weighty talk about the minority demoscene experience, how cultural and demographic differences get amplified, and what privileged sceners can do better.

Let's listen to some chill music together!

Tune in to find out what theme Steph and Kevman will be exploring this time!

As promised, the show is back on track on our new regular schedule! This episode starts by reviewing some of the reactions of our reappearance and takes a look at who actually listened to the show. Then, after a quick peek at the demoscene news of the month, the show briefly discusses the hot topic of demoscene ethics, and finally, Revision head honcho D.Fox joins us to discuss his experience with having to move such a large and important event online and the future of online parties.

Steph's New Years resolution is to do more shows, so let's get started!

The ZINE Radio Show is back! After a 10 year hiatus, Okkie and Axel return to dissect and discuss the news and hot topics of the demoscene, and they are now joined by new co-host Ziphoid for some PROFOUND BANTER! In this episode revolving around making old things new again, they obviously explain the sudden unexpected return of the podcast, what took so long, why they’re back again, and what to expect in the future, but also discuss what happened over the last decade in the scene, how the strange new world under the Coronavirus pandemic has changed the daily routine of the demoscene, and how to get your motivation back when it comes to making music.

Oh, an afternoon show here at the edge of a chaotic 2020! Well, here goes nothing for a couple of hours. If I can get the tech working properly, I even plan to have call-ins, so if you have something to share about your year, please feel free to ping me about it! What really has happened in 2020? If anything. Do join if you're up for it!

And once again you missed quite some things and this is the place to get all informed about it.

A re-run of the acid music compo organised by Assembly and TRSAC together. The tracks are compo entries mixed live by lug00ber.

Join Steph for a couple of hours of cozy music!

OMG WHAT NOW

Back once again for the renegade master, Ziphoid has decided that it's time to yet again pollute the internetz airwaves with some ramblings and some mjooosic!

Steph and Kevman will be bringing you another theme this show! Tune in for some Halloween and otherwise autumn related tunes.

OMG WHAT NOW

We're finally doing a show! This time we're bringing a random theme! Tune in to hear what we've come up with!

Hi! It's-a-me, a Ziphoid! Since there hasn't been a Ziphoid-show in a bunch of months I believe it's time for another one. Expect nothing more than ramblings and stumblings but possibly some nice music along with it as well! There might even be a guest or so, who knows? You'll know if you tune in! :)

Oh crap, you ain’t never heard none of this!

Very much overdue, Steph is back with Soothing Sounds!

All the things you never heard!

So much that you heard but forgot that you heard!
