It’s not Dr. Awesome! Today we play almost entirely Victor Vergara’s tracker music. Mr Vergara called himself “Awesome” back in the day and is still active under the name “Awezoom”. In this hour, DJ Daemon, sheds a little light on who he is, his involvement in the demo scene and who he dedicates all his love ballads to.

Production notes:
I was sourcing music for the next episode of Flashback and I came across a collection of great tunes by a "Awesome". I quickly realised that it was not "Dr. Awesome" and decided to make an episode around mostly his songs. This inspired me to create more artist portraits in the future.

The title just points out that we're NOT talking about "DR. Awesome". The artist in this episode called himself "Awesome" and later renamed himself to "Awezoom".
