I'm actually surprised how much faster it was getting the prizes in the mail by regular post. Of course I was cheating a little bit, and a couple of packages have been RTS'd with insufficient postage. So I'll wait a week or so and send them out as something oher han lettermail. But as winter slowly turns to spring, I'm going to head outside for some fresh air as we bring you... ExCubitors - Let Me Dance First Aid 4 Souls - Ace Of Cups (feat.

The annual membership drive is now complete, and I get to do my favourite part of this whole thing. Mailing prizes and RSA swag to everyone!

Welcome to the final episode of the annual RSA membership drive! You've got just a few days left to get in on the prizes and keep RSA going for another year! THis week we've got a really neat dancy show. There are moments when I miss DJing live, and this show is one that resembles my live sets fairly well. Oh well. One or two gigs left to go.

Well, my staycation is coming to an end, so I decided I'd make sure I finished the show on Friday the 13th so that I could have a Valentines present for all of you! Welcome to the 3rd and penultimate episode of the annual RSA membership drive. Your support keeps us going for another year! This week the show leans a little lighter than usual. I figure at least on this one day we don't need all cookie monster vocals. Ankomst - We Stand Alone NightCrawler - Incubator (Feat.

Welcome to the second week of the Annual Membership Drive. The weather outside up here in the great white north is bright and clear and -30c with the windchill. So I decided that today was a good day to finish RSA and stay inside to avoid that nastiness. We've got a great show for everyone this week including a collaboration between Massive Ego and Boy George. The 80s are leaking again!

Today as I finish recording and start getting this weeks show posted, I realize that today is special for two reasons! First, welcome to the first week of the Annual Membership Drive. Please visit the page, check out the prizes, and consider supporting us! http://www.synthetic.org/membership.php Secondly as of the date of "production" today RSA has officially turned 28 years old!

Waiting out the latest "Snowpocalypse" here in SW Ontario. We're supposed to get something like 10 inches of snow today along with arctic winds. So today will be watching the storm in between movies and junk food. The prizes for the membership drive have arrived, I urge you to check out the video I posted on the FB group as well as BlueSky. I'm really impressed with the quality, and I think you will be too!

Spent the week basically bedridden as I "recovered" from my flu last week, then proceeded to push myself too far. So I spent a few days taking my time and resting, and voila! I left the house and got RSA done today. It's nice to eat food. I remember that now. But it was nice to sit down and have some fun working on RSA instead of lying in bed. This week we've got a great mix of the synthie and the aggro! J:Dead - Disgusting Agnis - Vamp (Freaky Mind) Phaser One feat. Echodead - Poison Mesh - Exile (Edit) Alex Braun - Wrong Direction cut.rate.box - Reel Life (Cassandra Complex) Extize - Classic Love (Antibody) CauseNation - Nowhere To Hide (Mildreda) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Apologies, you'll find in this weeks show that I was planning on posting the show earlier on Saturday, but before I could hit "publish" I got taken down with the flu. After a couple of days bedridden, I'm up and shakey today, but capable to posting this weeks show! So before I go back to recuperating, lets see what I have in store for you... Deadly Injection - Religion (Destroy Me Again) Soman - Interstellaris Kontrast feat. thefrolix - Maschinenstadt (Club) A Spell Inside - City Of Reborn Parralox - Atmosphere II X Marks The Pedwalk - Another Love Lifelong Corporation - No TIme (Inevitable) evo-lution - Du Bist Ein Kampfer http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

And we're back with the first show of 2026! For once when I started going through my inbox for material to play this week, there wasn't a huge bunch of discs from like August that I still have to go through. Maybe after 28 years(!) of doing this show I've managed to learn a bit. Or get organized. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. So let's enjoy a new episode of RSA before we all have to go back to work/school/etc! Dark Minimal Project - Schlafen! (People Theatre) BlakLight - Blind Vision Monochrome - Unbound Ego Salto - Take Me Up Spektralized - Run and Hide (EP) Projekt-A 'The Dark' - Tanz Der Schatten (Phaser One) Soman - To the Rhythm Mareux - The Perfect Girl (Kontravoid) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Welcome to the annual best of show! This year we go back through everything we've played over the course of 2025, condense the year into 16 tracks, and voila! I got some great suggestions from people, and had a few "obvious" ones written down for months. But it was worth it to listen to everything, a few gems always pop up that I've forgotten. So enjoy this slightly early show as my Christmas gift for you all to listen to on new devices and toys! DSTRTD SGNL - The Fool Elektrostaub - Too Far From The Pack Zanias - Human Exsequor - The Fallen Core In Motion - Lost (Sonic Sound Factory) Echodead - I Don't Like Humans Aiboforcen - Executions (feat.

Last week of the "normal" year as we present to you the penultimate episode of RSA for 2025. For those keeping track, this is episode #1367! The holiday obligations are plentiful, but I've budgeted enough time to get the show finished next week. I was actually surprised by a few tracks that I would have glanced over if I was choosing tracks visually. But listening to every show seems to always strike gold! Elektrostaub - Too Far From The Pack (diarBlack) cut.rate.box - Fireshine (Extended) DSTRTD SGNL & Talla 2XLC - Dreams (Dark Club) Dawn Of Ashes - Faith Desecration (Frontal Boundary) Pending Position - Immer Wenn Es Dunkel Ist Kartagon - Space (Future Lied To Us) Assemblage 23 - Last Zanias - Happy Endings http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

I've gotten some good suggestions for the best of 2025 emailed to me! Only 2 more weeks until CHristmas is over and I give you my gift, an extra long show. I've begun ordering prizes for the 2026 membership drive. The theme is going to be "flat" to get around the craziness that is trying to mail anything to the USA. This week we've got a great mix of the synth and the agression along with my usual comical attempts at pronouncing words I haven't encountered before! Asphodel Ivory - Eclipse (Teknovore) Evo-Lution - Dein Takt Beyond Border - Machines (Eisfabrik) X Marks The Pedwalk - Automatic Hero Kommision Z80 - Deny, Defend, Dispose! (Stahlschlag) Starsign - Steal The Sun (Single Edit) Outsized - Komet (VDOC Club) Lights Of Euphoria - Crystal Cave http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

After a week from hell, I did manage to spend most of my Friday night blissed out and listening to music for RSA. There's some really neat stuff in here this week, including an interesting cover. All tracks now are eligible for the best of 2026 next year. But I think I have about half of the anual year end show picked. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me! Spektralized - Strange Reactions Soman - The Killer DSTRTD SGNL & Talla 2XLC - Dreams (Club) Faderhead - We All Smile Here (Nothing's Fine) Assemblage 23 - Lunatics Pending Position - Starsign FragileChild - Another You SCALA - Den Sista Dansen (Peters Version) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

The homelab is all nice and fixed, but I never did get an offer for a stack of Hard Drives. :) Stuff like that is getting ridiculously expensive because of all of the Goddamned AI data centers which create nothing but heat. We've got a great show for everyone this week, as the first track I picked had a very fast tempo, and as I've said, that tends to spread to the rest of the show. Also, I begin picking tracks for the best of 2025. Good lord, how is it only 4 weeks until I have to get the show ready! Neuroklast - Succubus (feat. Cassiopeja) Deadly Injection - Religion (Destroy Me Again) Vexillary - Kill Shot EgoAmp - Insanity (Rob Dust feat. Scheuber) Audiocall - Sparks (Steril feat. Arc Morten) Dawn Of Ashes - Throne of Misanthropy (C-Lekktor) Dunkelsucht - Escalate Crushing State - Inner Anarchy (Solar Fake) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

This weekend I get to play SysAdmin as my homelab (which stores all of my RSA material) had a disk failure in one of my servers. It's all parity protected, but I'm spending a good 20 hours moving data off another disk that I'm kinda suspicious of. If anyone wants to donate a stack of 16TB SATA drives to me, I wouldn't say no at this point. But because I have lost data in the distant past, I've already learned my lesson. But this doesn't directly affect RSA at all, as we've got a great show for everyone. A higher tempo than usual, but the first track I selected was 150 bpm(!), that sets the tone for the rest of the show! Zanias - Human Prometheus Flame - March On Blaze Vexillary - Kill Shot Seelennacht - Grey Apartment Show Faderhead - Cold Chrome Exsequor - Asymmetric War Phaser One - Rise From Within (Larcon) DSTRTD_SGNL - Zick Zack http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Things are more or less back to normal around here, as we prepare for the onset of Winter in Canada. This week I do put some emphasis on what the heck we're going to do about next years membership drive. I'm really looking for your feedback on what you'd like to receive in return for donations. I'm looking at Enamel pins (much like the Sanctuary pins that are on my "battle jacket"). Sadly the patches we did prior to the pandemic are insanely expensive now. If you have one, it's a collectiors item! THis wek we also expanded to 9 songs instead of the usual 8. In the new world of more singles than full length albums, we'll have to adapt and try to keep the quantity as high as the quality. :) XPQ-21 - Dance With The Devil Elektrostaub - Too Far From The Pack (Salva Maine) Aesthetic Perfection - We Bring The Beat Absurd Minds - Fractured (Autodafeh) Data Kino - Rock It Again Komission Z80 - Choose (Ruined Conflict) Destroy Me Again - The Shards Extize - Cyberghost Audiocall - Retailers! (Single) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

I apologize for missing last week, but apparently if you're unable to eat solid food for several days the pounds just melt away! I have some work to do on my health, but the work will be done. One thing that I forgot to mention in this weeks show is that this week we have Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans day in the USA. Having stood on Tower bridge in London, and the docks in Hamburg I'm just glad that the idea of bombing either city now is such an inconceivable thing. Hamburg was also a significant visit for me because my Grandfather was a part of Operation Gomorrah. The first track is also dedicated to the people at ICE. Front Line Assembly - Vigilante Project Pitchfork - Memento Mori Dead Lights - Killing Time DSTRTD_SGNL - The Fool I Ya Toyah - Denial (Aesthetic Perfection) Causenation - Hearts Beat Strong (Novakill) Zanias - Naiad All The Ashes - Orbit http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

My favourite time of the year. When the leaves are changing, the temperature drops a bit so we need a light jacket. Might be time to pull out my 90s battle jacket. Maybe on Saturday Nov 1 when I DJ at Ground Control. Maybe. This week we only make a passing mention of AI. I swear. But we did get a response from Bandcamp, so the gears are moving. Remember folks, Bandcamp > Spotify.
