Real Synthetic Audio For iTunes

More work continues on the upcoming "Best of the Best" show, I have a track list, and now I just have to spend some time to start piecing it together. In more personal news, a valued contributor to RSA, my buddy Sundie, passsed away earlier this week. He was responsible for 3d printing the RSA tags, and even printed a replacement knob for a fan I have and embossed on the top "Real Synthetic Knob". So while we've got great new music for everything this week, its taken me more time than usual. Menschdefekt - Rays Of Light (District 13) FabrikC - Echoes To Eternity (Techno Club) DSTRTD SGNL - Amosfear Implant - It Will Mutate Deus Ex Lumina - Dopamine Nation CauseNation - Hearts Beat Strong (Novakill) Fluid Ghost - Your Destiny Eisfabrik - Greetings From Far Away http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

There's a certain comfort on a Sunday morning, listening to the show before finalizing it with a grey cat on your lap, and the Orange Monster is nearby hoping to get his turn for scritches. Though it does make typing a bit harder than usual. I've been slowly working on a special "bonus" show for everyone as its been ~7 years since we last did a "best of the best" but it's really hard. Not necessarily selecting the tracks, but deciding which ones you need to leave out due to length. Its like choosing your favourite children. Not easy. FabrikC - Echoes To Eternity (Clean Extended) Zentriert Ins Antlitz - Wormhole Blut Reaktor - Dead Inside (Official) Alienare - A Thousand Miles FrontAngel - And We Dance (Club) Amnistia - Creatures Metamorph - Veridia (Grendel) Device Noize - Condenado a Muerte http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Wound up catching a 48 hour flu this week so the show is a little later than usual. Had to stay up late last night listening to music so that I could get RSA done! The cold/flu sucked, but it was nice to just relax last night and let the music flow over me. Hopefully the coming week will be a bit better. At least fall is approaching and I can enjoy the leaves changing colour and the more temperate weather. Just no more rain. Such a wet, annoying summer.

Sad week week as it was announced that Héctor Marin Rios of Nordika passed away. Its especially sad as he'll never get to see how well the Lost Generation single is doing. My condolences to his friends and family. With that said, we've got a great show this week featuring a few discs we're going to put to bed and naturally the brand new stuff I've gotten my hands on over the past week. Plus no CD Baby interference, so the show will actually turn up on YouTube tomorrow. Its the labour day weekend here, so I'm going to end my labour for the weekend and get RSA posted for you! Nordika - Lost Generation (Final) Llumen - Torn Skin (Technoid) Zone Tripper - Lazer Love (Live Remix) Outsized - Frei (Kim Lunner) District 13 - I Don't Love You Anymore Ashbury Heights - Anti Ordinary 2023 Empirion - Breakneck Beats (A2DIV) Red Lokust - The Fourth Turning (Club) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Welcome to the last week of August where we start to mourn the end of summer. Personally I think that Autumn is the most "goth" of all seasons because its cool enough that we can wear a nice leather jacket, but not so cool that you have to zip the thing up. I think I can still zip up my old jacket, but there might be some compression effect happening on my stomach. Its also the time that labels start getting things ready for the holiday season! I have a feeling we've got a great few months coming of great new music. Much like this weeks show! Moris Blak - The Unraveling World Aitee - HII Forest Simon Carter - Pain Destroys Interface - Tomorrow Is Now (Red Lokust) TourdeForce - Murder Made History Device Noize - Vida Eterna Sven Phalanx & Eleven-FX - The Battle Begins (Club) Kris Baha - Grains Of Time http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

We've had a crazy amount of rain this summer in Toronto. Had another flooding level rain storm yesterday, and it looks like this afternoon is going to be very "Sunny UK" ... ie grey and raining. But that just gives me more free time to work on RSA. I should build up a few extra episodes as I did some calculating and I have a few vacation days left. Too bad my recent (and final!) move has left me broke with a capital B. But enough about the weather and my finances. We're here to listen to some great new music and we deliver. Zanias - Teatree (Neu-Romancer) Tevalik - Fremde Neue Welt (Endzeit) Red Lokust - The Fourth Turning (Interface) Alienare - Leave A Light On Psychosomatik - Stress (Ultimate Soldier) Ashbury Heights - A Lifetime In The Service of Darkness Nordika - Lost Generation (Other Voices) Empirion - Dark March (Analogue Blood) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

A rainy Sunday morning and clear skies in the afternoon is a clear message that I had to get RSA done this week before I went outside. This week we've got a show every so slightly leaning towards the "techno industrial" that I've come to enjoy so much. Its basically what came in this week, so it was time to get it played! A bunch of new singles with some really interesting stuff. I don't think I'll ever hate this "job" with all of the new music I get to listen to and share with you! Moris Blak - Infinite Warehouse Simon Carter - Fat One Kris Baha - Breathe Interface - Tomorrow Is Now (Red Lokust) Outsized - Frei (Kosmos) The Grab Society - Room (Cyborgdrive) Red Industrie - Nanoparticulas Letales (Remix) Slichtnacht - Gehasster http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

I was going to spend my morning on the new balcony sipping my tea and generally getting used to the idea of being awake. But its another Toronto summer heatwave and I'm going to try and get out and do things before noon and the day star starts to burn my pallid skin. Managed to get some packages that have sat on my desk for months out the door this week, and I'm starting to get organized again. I've listened to this show a few times during the week, and I think you're gonna like it! Ashbury Heights - Sleeping With A Knife Zentriert Ins Antlitz - Back Burned PreEmprive Strike 0.1 - Stellar Castaway (Object) Vogon Poetry & Scala - Immortals Metroland - Cooperation In A Fragemented World Chainreactor - Welcome To The Deep (Stahlschlag) Ethan Fawkes - Dancefloor EBM (Paulitical) Rouge - Until Next Moon http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Everything is slowly coming together at the new place. My office is nice and set up, and I'm now at the point where I'm taking in photographs to get (re)framed and doing the finishing touches that change a house into a home. But for now while it's still early and I don't have direct sun on the front of my building I'm going to post RSA and finish the job covering my balcony. Phase Fatale - Magma Driver Plastic Autumn - Obsidian Glis - Ascension (Rotersand) The Saint Paul - Resistance Massive Ego - In Your Own Darkness (Night) Future Lied To Us - Code Fluid Ghost - Flesh And Fortune Antibody - Drunk http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Its another beautiful Sunday morning, so I'm up bright and early to get RSA posted. I always try to get the show up early because I'm aware that I'm technically 5-7 hours behind Europe, and I have to play catch up. Of course the West coast of the US is still asleep, so I'm nice and early for them. It always tickles me that we have listeners in practically every timezone, and a LOT of countries. I truly do wish that I travelled well because I could meet a bunch of people who listen or make music we play without having to go near a festival. (Multiple days of no rest, noise, and very bright lights do a number on me.) So as I make plans for 2025, here's a great new show for you all! Aiboforcen - Executions (Life Before Death) Rhys Fulber - The Heir PreEmptive Strike 0.1 - Numb Apparatus (2024) Psychosomatik - Stress (SEXGUN) Czarina - The Outsider TeknoVore - Sensory Malfunction (Matt Hart) Crystal Geometry - Money Has No Smell Darkvolt - Tools Of Destruction (Deafman) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

The move is complete, while the vacation is not. This is a wonderful combination. But in between unpacking and decorating I made sure I had time to get RSA done for everyone this week. Besides, I need a break for using my muscles for anything other than typing. I'd like everyone to have a listen to my commentary through the show and let me know if it sounds more echo-y than usual. The office needs a bit more echo damping I think, but you're a better judge of that than I! Solar Fake - This Generation Ends Negative Format - Molecular Stability Glis - Ascension (Single) Chiasm - Dead Trees (Blackcarburning) Cellmod - The Untold Truth (You Shriek) Eva X - Fiction Cyferdyne - We Are Ghosts Desastroes - Soulbound (TOAL) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

While the vacation has started, the work has too. Packing up to move in a couple of days, but I'm getting RSA out while this adventure takes place. There will be a show next week too! Hopefully the acoustics are OK in my new office. I'll have to get it filled a bit before I can record the next show. Echoes. Echoes everywhere. But I'm actually posting this from my new abode, sitting on the floor because my desk and chair still need to be moved! Acylum - Oder Tod (Darkness On Demand) The Saint Paul - End Of Days Sine Division - Solitary Observer (Cold Vigor) Llumen - A Part Of Me With You The Synthetic Dream Foundation - Eine Schone Ruine Superikone - Meine Seele (Bodypop) District 13 - Hope Antibody - Beautiful Sadness http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

The vacation has begun, and what better way to spend the Canada Day long weekend than finishing 2 weeks (or so) of RSA and just relaxing. I've got a move coming up in a week, but it won't affect RSA. Much like this week, lots of great music for everyone to enjoy. Luckily the summer release schedule has picked up and I have some really neat stuff to share with you! Aiboforcen - Executions Rhys Fulber - Despite The Noise Decence - Monuments (Rob Dust) Implant - The Drive Clan Of Xymox - Blood Of Christ TeknoVore - Grip Of Pain (Any Second) Pending Position - Ballerina (Rotoskop Genf) Frontal Boundary - Without A Chance http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Well the Amazon issue seems to have resolved itself, so I went back through the play lists for May and June of this year and properly annotated them. As much as the weather so far this year has either been thunderstorming or sweltering on the weekends, this sucks for my cycling, but it does give me more time on the weekends to get RSA finished. This is always good because I think of our listeners in Europe (and the UK) and I feel like I'm starting Sunday with a 6-7 hour disadvantage! TourDeForce - In Days To Come Kennelklubben - Honung Och Parfym (Xenturion Prime) Depeche Mode - Behind The Wheel (Parralox v2) White Noise TV - Drowning Winds (Neon Space Men) Desastroes - Spellbound (Club) Nox - Once Now Gone Solaris D - Fate (Rob Dust) Moris Blak x Nyxx - FERAL (Static Starlight) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

A week closer to my big summer vacation. I'm not actually going anywhere this year, but for the first time in my life I'm going to take a solid 3 weeks off work and disconnect. The usual stuff like RSA getting posted is still going to happen, but I just won't have to think about work. Its going to be glorious! So here's a great new show with great new music! Leaetherstrip - Here Comes The Rain Again Solar Fake - Hurts So Bad Blinky Blinky Computerband - Vexation Synpasyche - Anti Manifesto Pseudokrupp Project - Du Und Ich Red Deviil - Azul Instinto Butcher Boy - Blood Lust (Perdi La Luz) Xenturion Prime - Memory Lanes (Mars TV) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Its been a bit of a rough week for me, and I thought about postponing this weeks show, but the fact is it keeps me distracted and its something I really enjoy doing, so I'm pushing through and getting RSA out to everyone! Sine Division - Solitary Observer (Dark Star Black Sun) NightCrawler - Multitasker Antibody - F.Society (C-Lekktor) E_Lect - Dimma (Patrik Kambo) Emmon - DARK The Synthetic Dream Foundation - Hammers Out The... Priest - Burning Love ee man & Retrograth - Last Lines http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Another grey and miserable Sunday morning. The bike is back on the wall, and I'm getting RSA finished instead of going for a nice bike ride. I was "proof reading" the show while out and about yesterday, so I think you're really going to like this one. As the Festival season gets truly under way, the nice thing is that my "inbox" of new material starts to re-fill again. Keep your eyes and ears open, we've got lots of great new stuff for everyone! Solar Fake - Disagree The Saint Paul - End Of Days (Levity Space) Tevalik - Fremde Neue Welt (Club) Xenturion Prime - Memory Lanes (Mars TV) Aiboforcen - Cycle Of Life (Noemi Aurora) Superikone - Eiskalt (Futurepop) Llumen - All Things Broken (Aesthetische) Clan Of Xymox - Suffer (Single) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Got up bright and early this morning to get some mileage under the tires of my bike only to find that it was raining. Time for plan B! Yup, lets get RSA completely finished a little early so we have more time tomorrow. This week I've actually agonized a bit over the tracks because there's some history here this week. But I like a little suspense, so I'll save the story. DHI - Chemical Land (33rd Annum Remaster) Project Pitchfork - Summer Walk Darkvolt - Tools Of Destruction (Rogue Unit) Rouge - Tsuki Moris Blak - The Unraveling World Recall IV - Aesthetic Desastroes - Never Trust A Klingon DHI - M1911A1 (33rd Annum Remaster) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

An absolutely beautiful long weekend here in the Great White North. An increasingly anachronistic holiday tomorrow as we celebrate the Empire and Queen Victoria. But whatever, its a day off work. Its also a great day to release a new show, this week going a bit more up tempo without getting too cookie monster. As I mention in the show, there's nothing wrong with cookie monster vocals when used just right. Synapsyche - Shamefully Yours Acylum - Mental Health (Diffuzion) Aesthetische - Confidence Is Silent (Let Go) Cyferdyne - Breathe Deeper TeknoVore - Anamnesis Merry Chiklit - Spell (Cyborgdrive) Xenturion Prime - Embers (Midnight Resistance) Black Nail Cabaret - Teach Me How To Techno (Glow) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Looks like the amazon links are truly dead as after a week I still can't create them. This does make me sad, as it was a great way for you guys to buy the music. It also lead to some nice Facebook drama last week as the blind followed the ignorant, and I wound up having to explain what an affiliate link is, how it generates legitimate sales, and ban a bone headed German DJ. Erst denken, dann sprechen! But with that out of the way I can bring you some more great new music along with an Anecdote on Emileigh Rohn sorting out my pronunciation of "Chiasm" back in... Good lord could it have been 2001? This weeks show includes tracks from The Saint Paul, Black Asteroid, Nordika, Chiasm, Implant, Lifelong Corporation, Incendie and Slichtnacht. The Saint Paul - DNA (Scientific) Black Asteroid - Blast Nordika - Fell in from Stars (Asgard) Chiasm - Chasing Butterflies (Stabbing Westward) Implant - The Algorithm Lifelong Corporation - Here I am (Flash) Incendie - Medieval Pulse Slichtnacht - Dark Emotions (Mikrometrik) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio
