This is the 7th in a series of Thematics specials on tracker-based music. These shows focus on playing music written in tracker software and feature a playlist of source files for people to download, use and generally abuse. For this tracker special, Newcastle-based artist PƎTER visited the 2RRR studios to play some of his drum and bass / jungle Fasttracker 2 material.

This show also coincided with the 10th Speedcomp… A pointless competition to create a song in half an hour only using the same pack of ten samples (selected for round 10 by http://www.667u.com/fukno.htm). This round of Speedcomp was hosted by Flashback, the Australian Demo Scene Event with some participants creating their entries live at the event and all entries played back on the night.
