No sermons this week, just great music. Had a bit of a rollercoaster week, so I'm actually surprised that I'm getting things done on time. Lots of great new stuff for everyone, and now I have to run out the door to get the boring part of the weekend (chores) done while I listen to... Club Crimson Room - Still We Gather Fix8:Sed8 - New Eden (Mildreda) Lights Of Euphoria - Electric Lover FragileChild - Shattered Throne (Long Reign) Funkenstaub - With You Again (Narcotic Elements) Happy707 - Your Body Ego Bliss - Ascend (Single Edit) NOIR & Silver Walks - Nothing Stays (SYZYGYX) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

So last weeks show had an easter egg, unknown even to me. Apparently (and thank you to those who emailed me) one of the bands from last week don't actually exist. So along with the great music you get to hear me philosophise on AI and music. There may be more little chats like this over the next few weeks. But brief. Because we're here for the music, not the sermons! Antibody & Binary Division & Czarina - My Enemy (Vioflesh) cut.rate.box - Fireshine Synpasyche - Blindness SynthAttack - Immortal NZM 99 - Revenge Alienare - Let This Moment Never End Incendie - Decaying Realities (Soj) Touching The Void - Fragment (Substaat) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Apologies for this weeks show being a little late. I spent the entire weekend on the road taking care of some family stuff. When I got home on Sunday afternoon I finished the mixing, but was just too wiped to piece it all together and record my usual verbal fumbling. But never fear, got some work done and then shifted focus over here. I can't leave my public waiting! Zone Tripper - Pushing Onwards Blinky Blinky Computerband - Fascist Feelings Device Noize - Fluye Fictional - My Tears Will Fall (Club) 2DCAT - Magic (SITD) Sequence Vogue - Through The Wind And Rain (Denise Ordeal) Soman - Jump Dance Rave Shatoo - Nothing That I Wouldn't Do (Technomancer) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Spent most of the day cleaning and listening to this weeks show to make sure that I didn't make any mixes that caused me to make a sour face. There's some notes in this weeks show about next years membership drive. Plus my very efficient and professional method of "proof listeneing" to RSA. It works for me! Fermion - Conflicted Incendie - Decaying Realities NZM 99 - Awareness Ceraph - Lost And Found Exsequor - A World In Trauma Core In Motion - Between The Lines (Sonic Sound Factory) Battery 73 - Sadness Patriarchy - Pain Is Power http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

No holiday to help pass the time this week, so I've been working on my next live set, mostly just writing stuff down at this point. Plus preparing for "work surface" thats lower than expected. That and Imay have to splurge for new headphones. The "Serviceable but not expensive" pair I use for live stuff is starting to flake apart. People have justifiably joked that my "last performance" has happened several times. Well call my Terry Funk then. This week we've got some great stuff from synthpop to aggro! Kontrast - Die Zunkuft (Club) Chrom - Agony Device Noize - Gente Comun Devoid - Slanted Halo Electronic Frequency - Get Naughty Super Dragon Punch!! - Gloom (Ruined Conflict) Rotersand - Father Ocean Zanias - Serpentsmile http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Its labour day weekend, so I'm getting everything done a little bit early so I can enjoy the long weekend. I'm actually heading to the local cemetery to take some pictures and feed the fattest squirrels in the city. I'm also taking the time to gather songs for my first live set in a couple of years. I've said it before, but this may be the last time you get to see me live. I take it all year by year. DSTRTD_SGNL - Make Me Lose Control (Club) Core In Motion - Between The Lines (Narcotic Elements) Exsequor - Mercenary Teknovore X Draven - Aphorism Evo-Lution - Dein Takt Priest - My Lonely Heart Rynzler - Ex Multis BRYT - Systemfel http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Had a really nice 4 day weekend, went to the CNE, did some cycling, and listening to music for both this show and a soon to be announced Sanctuary gig in November. Keep your ears open. I'm going to be doing longer sets. But this week we've got some great music for you on RSA, possibly even a track or two I might play live. You never know, the next couple of months are going to be interesting! Slighter - Worms Massiv In Mensch - Green (Extended) Fictional - Crossroads (Psycho Club) MONO_XYD - Platformshoesblues Chainreactor - Empire AD Key - Mein Herz (Martin Bodewell) Selfless Service - New Organ Analog 80 - Operating Code http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Its going to be another crazy hot weekend inn Toronto, so I'm hunkering down and working on projects indoors at least today. Hopefully everyone has a great weekend at Infest, I'm probably going to finish re-cabling my server closet and spend some time on the balcony just listening to new music! Glis - Crush (2025) Core In Motion - Lost (Ruined Conflict) Super Dragon Punch!! - Split (Grendel) Terence Fixmer - Evolve (Marcel Dettmann) Silicodisco - Look Back Without Me Scheuber - Ashes Rotersand - Watch Me Vanguard - Unz! http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

I got a lot of great feedback about last weeks extra long theme show! I'm really glad you folks liked it, I haven't gotten that many emails about a show in years. We'll have to have another one. Probably closer to the 2026 membership drive! But we're back to our normal format of new music, and we've got a great show for everyone this week! Fictional - Embrace The Silence (Vanguard) Fractal Age - The Silence Of A Fading Age Ceraph - The Power Within Basszilla - Life Is HARD Aesthetic Perfection - Sacrifice (XP8 2005) Chrom - Agony Echodead - Lost (Larcon) UCNX - You Know What You Are (dOGstep) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

A few weeks ago I promised a theme show, I like to do extra long shows when I come back from one of my two "breaks" every year. It would appear that I've used up all of my RSA vacation time, so its smooth sailing from here to the end of the year. This week we're going 2 hours into the period of time from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I've tried to pick bands that were of that era, and are now defunct, but you'll probably notice a few bands that are going strong all these years later. I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane! Boole - Sasquatch (2008) Tristesse de la Lune - Time Is Moving (Negative Format) (2005) Culture Kultur - Lost Ideals (2001) In Strict Confidence - Zauberschloss (Extended) (2001) Six Sigma - Cinco July-o (1997) Fiction 8 - Let Go (2000) Full frequency - Drop Down (1996) Stromkern - Re-align (Seabound) (2002) Velvet Acid Christ - Decypher (Force = Authority) (1999) Individual Totem - Paradoxon (1998) Moulin Noir - Spellbound (Run Level Zero) (2001) Revolution By Night - Faithless (VNV) (2003) Wideband Network - Orbit (Club) (2003) Aiboforcen - Twilight World (A23) (2001) Syntec - Talk To The Other World (Club) (1995) S.V.D. - Big Bad City (Singapore) (2003) Mechanical Horizon - New Horizons (2001) Contruggle Test - Shop (2000) Access Zero - Years Of Wasted Time (2010) State Of The Union - Black City Lights (2002) Sero Overdose - For You (2005) Gridlock - Enzyme (Dryft) (1998) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

A much better week than last, so I'm here with a show for you! I've made some progress on the upcoming theme show, the list of tracks has made it from my phone to my computer. The tracks picked came out to an even number, so I can use everything without making any cuts. The one hint I'll give away is we're looking at a timeframe from the late 90s to the early aughts. This week we've got a great show for everyone as I put a few discs to bed and play some more new stuff! Massiv In Mensch - Around My Heart (Autoexec.bat) Terence Fixmer - Another End (Oliver Rosemann) Rotoskop - Body Spirit Soul (Rob Dust) Beborn Beton - Anorexic World (Oren Amram) Phaser One - Identify (feat. LARCON) TC75 - Motion (DSTRTD SGNL) Culture Kultur - War Is Over (Redux) Zanias - Dawn http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

So my vacation didn't come off as I expected. I had a very, very large flare up of my anxiety disorder so I made the smart decision and stayed home rather be in distress while visiting friends. Its not the first time its happened, so I'm going to put a pause on overnight flights and multiple time zones. William Gibson once wrote that flying allowed us to travel faster than our souls, and it usually takes ~18 hours for them to catch up. But I'm much better now, almost back to normal, so what better way to celebrate than put out... Evo-Lution - Angst Und Liebe DSTRTD_SGNL - Untold Story TeknoVore - Liminal Space (Slighter) Core In Motion - Keep me Alive (Club) Vogon Poetry & SCALA - Immortals (Oren Amram) Aesthetic Perfection - Coward UCNX - Complicit Silence (Stoneburner) Faderhead - This Is Not The End (Cyberpunk) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Feeling more than a little under the weather today, so I'm pushing through and getting RSA posted before I head back to the couch. Lots of great stuff for everyone this week as I contemplate packing for my trip next weekend. After another nap. Owls - Fev2 LPV - Quantum Leap Elektrostaub - Too Far From The Pack (Salva Maine) Kontrast - Maschinenstadt Phaser_One - God Is Poison Blut Reaktor - Wired (Futurepop-Synthpop) Inline Sex Terror - Electronic Warfare Lights Of Euphoria - My Escape (Beborn Beton) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Getting psyched to get the heck outta here for a few days, crossing my T's and dotting my I's, and while doing so I was listening to stuff and the outlines of an idea for a theme show were formed. I'm still in the planning stages, but I think we'll have something special when I come back for the 21st. But until then we've got a great show for everyone and I've been bopping around to it for a few days, so I think you'll like it too! X Marks The Pedwalk - Light Your Mind Velvet Velour - Caribbean Sea Chainreactor - Go Exsequor - We Are Never Alone Fictional - Embrace The Silence f. Patrik Hansson (Club) Culture Kultur - Forever (Redux) DSTRTD SGNL - You Synpasyche - Anti Manifesto (Statik Sekt) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

I'm actually getting everything posted nice and early this week because I got up for my club Bike ride, and while I was in the shower it was cancelled due to the impending first heatwave of the year. While this is kids stuff compared to some places, I'm going to agree that cycling in temperatures including humidity reaching 43c (thats 110 in Freedom Units) is not a good idea. Discretion is the better part of valour and all that. But since I'm up nice and early I figured I'd get the show posted and have a cup of tea as I contemplate breakfast. Elektrostaub - Falling f.
