168. Deadline 2026 Music Highlights

Deadline 26 ended just a few days ago, but delivers on a promise of good tracker music from the demo scene. DJ Daemon has finally started making those toplist episodes again and this time it's more of a selection than a countdown. Listen to DJ Daemon's picks from Deadline 2026: 13 demoscene tracks spanning Amiga, FastTracker, SID, streaming music and more. NOTE: This is a new version that have removed a mistake in my wording that I didn not understood had negative meanings. I'm not a native English speaker, so mistakes can happen. My apologies.

Production notes:
It's the first proper demoscene toplist since 2025. And this one was made as a selection rather than a classic countdown episode. It was a good collection that really made it a breeze to make a good selection.

Note: this is an edited version of the podcast due to a very unfortunate mistake in wording. My apologies.
