Managed to get some cycling in this weekend, so I get to spend Sunday morning lamenting the lack of exercise I've done in the past few months and get RSA complete! I'm going to take another week off some time in July as I take a vacation of some sort, but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it. A happy Mother's day to those that celebrate at this time of year. I always make sure to call my Mom if I can't visit. I mean, she's on the membership Friends of RSA! Have a great week and enjoy this weeks show! Rotoskop - Old White Men Future Trail - Panic (People Theatre) Monody - Gaslight Sine - Control (Leaetherstrip) Synapsyche - Deafness Nordstaat - Sympathetic Detonation Fractal Age - Tremors (Audiocall) Skren - STROM http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Took a week off last week to get some stuff sorted out. Should called it a vacation weekend, but the fact is when your folks are gone for half the year that when they come back we make a point of visiting. I tried to sit down and finish the show last week, but I was burnt out. *I* sounded like hell, so I scrapped it and took a week off. Its better to recharge the batteries a bit than put out something substandard. I tried to let everyone know, but with the enshittification of social media, its hard to get the word out. I await the day people stop using Facebook as their primary way of communicating to the world! Core In Motion - Lost (Sonic Sound Factory) Volkoff - Shine One Studio-X - Clouds & Trees (Kyoko Baertsoen) Deviant UK - Access Denied!

Welcome back to another exciting week of electronic music! Its the Easter weekend in Canada, and I have a 4 day weekend, so obviously on day 3 I'm finishing off the show. Gotta procrastinate as much as possible! I have a couple of packages to drop in the mail this week, my call out to everyone "Are you missing a prize?" did get some responses. I am quite glad that I didn't miss anyones name from the 2025 membership drive list. This week is a little synthpoppier than usual, but like I've always said, this is a big tent. Room for all sorts of variation and diversity in music! CYLiX - End Of Decay Vintage Voltage - Into The Void Unify Separate - Dark Heaven (Extended) Implant - Vampier State Encephalon - Synthskin6d SynthAttack - In Hell (Miseria Ultima) Sektor Six - Hopes Lies and Fear (Frontal Boundary) Minuit Machine - Creatures (RAUMM) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

This week I'm actually getting the show done early so that I can get out on my bicycle today! Lets see how far I get today without collapsing, gasping for air. I can feel that I haven't done any significant excercise since the late fall. But I'm cycling out to have a late lunch, so Sushi is my motivator! This week we delve into some great new releases and put a few discs to bed. I guess I'm going to have to think of another long theme show. I keep getting requests, so maybe a nice mid spring treat in May? Aiboforcen - Executions (Single Edit) Echodead - Wake Up Dead Kontrast - Manifest (Bunker Mix) Nordstaat - Crosses Grow Evo-Lution - Lichter Und Sturme DSTRTD SGNL - Face The Sun (Ruined Conflict) Future Lied To Us - Useless (Rework) Machinista - Bring Me The Blood http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

We're now officially into spring, and its safe for me to leave the house without freezing. Which means that RSA will slide into its summer schedule and the show will most likely be posted late on Sundays as I get chores done. The exciting life of an internet DJ! This week we've got an interesting mix of new stuff, including a mystery with Wolfgang Flur! Plus a nice bit of retro-ish stuff from Extize that reminds me of a great Val Solo track! SynthAttack - In Hell Millimetric - 35286 Wolfgang Flur - Uber All (Peter Hook & ?) Penetrate The Facade - Tree Of Life Revolt - Shaolinquan (Incendie) VNV Nation - Silence Speaks Blut Reaktor - Scars (2025) Extize - 80s Were Better http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Its thoroughly "Great Britain" outside this weekend, only with the extra Canadian advantage of getting freezing rain overnight to make today a skating rink. Apparently. I did all of my errands yesterday so I wouldn't have to go out in this weather! All of teh US and Canadian packages for the membership drive have been delivered, and it looks like Overseas will be arriving next week! But this week we've got a great show for everyone as I clear out a tiny bit of stuff carried over from 2024 and a lot of brand new stuff including a release from a Remixer that I really like! Kontrast - Manifest (Club) Blood Rave - Can't Resist NNHMN - Dressing For Pleasure Psyhound - Life's A Glitch Minuit Machine - I Don't Give A Damn Alex Braun - Zeitfresser (Ruined Conflict) Kaos! - Gone Astray Dmt Berzerk & Noble Savage - Cadere (Ego Bliss) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

All of the membership drive prizes are officially in the post and making their way to you. Apparently there was a delay at the Niagara Falls bridge taking stuff over to the USA. But USA packages should arrive in the next couple of days, and overseas will probably be another week or so. I basically spent all last weekend getting everything packaged up so there would be less of a delay than usual. After 20+ years of this I might finally be getting organized. Encephalon - Survivors Bias Die Sexual - Tremble For Me (Harlander Hack) Autodafeh - Fastlane Noemi Aurora - The Alchemist (Aiboforcen) Sex Code - O.R.Gasm Skren - Transporter Fermion - Unity With Chaos (Frontal Boundary) DSTRTD SGNL - Der Eisberg (Martin Bodewell) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

I'm quite happy to tell everyone that nearly every prize for the membership drive is in the mail. I can also tell from my shipping dashboard that a few of you have received your gifts! I really hope you like the USB and the Spreadsheet! Its likely that next year the prizes for <$50 will be digital only. The cost of postage has skyrocketed here, and I have some thinking to do about 2026. But thats all old news. We're all about new music and "Today" rather than "Tomorrow!" Phosgore - Slaves To The Bassline (Chainreactor) Psyhound - Neurotransmitters (v2.0.25) Nordstaat - Transhuman Forces Alex Braun - Zeitfresser (Silica Gel) Penetrate The Facade - Scars Of Your Soul Absurd Minds - Serve Or Suffer (Subjection) The Saint Paul - Milk'n Honey Deviant UK - Access Denied! http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

The prizes have all be "created" and are now sitting next to a box of small mailers. This afternoon I'll be sending out the first batch and I figure that barring crazy circumstances everything will be in the mail and done in a week. Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy your little gift very soon! But this week we've got a great show for you, I've managed to avoid having too much stuff "hanging around" from 2024, so unlike most years I'm not struggling to put square pegs in round holes. We've got a great show for everyone, and once again thanks to all of my wonderful supporters! DSTRTD SGNL - Shine A Light (Club) Massiv In Mensch - Procrastination (Rana Orborea) E_Lect - Empty Streets Happy707 - Metallic Sky Encephalon - Illusions Dark-O-Matic - Trash Darkvolt - White Lie (Novakill) Death By Love - Strong Inside http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

The annual membership drive is over, and you'll no longer have to listen to me beg for money! It was a great success this year, and really made me feel good that so many people are willing to part with their hard earned money for my little show. Now of course I have to get my act together, fill dozens of USB keys to mail out, and a number of cards and thank-yous. But without any further ado, here's what your donations bring us! A brand new epsiode of RSA! Happy707 - Alsina Noemi Aurora - The Alchemist (Aesthetische) Asymetric80 - Innocent Stigmata Sto Desyat - Ball Of Vampires Urban Matrix - From The Skies Monody - Stand Fermion - Unity Within Chaos Parralox - Teardrop v10 http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Welcome to the final week of the 2025 membership drive! We'll be accepting donations until next weekend, and then the list will be set in stone! The USB sticks have been ordered, and some will come laser etched with the RSA logo! Your donations are appreciated beyond beleif, it keeps RSA going for another year. But part of that is me delivering new shows for everyone, and this week we've got some great stuff for everyone, including the return of a band that we haven't played since 2017! http://www.synthetic.org/membership.php DSTRTD SGNL - Echoes (Extended) Robota Robotny - Fass Mich Nicht An (Das Schwarze System) Antibody - Dios, Goodbye!

Welcome to the third week of the 2025 membership drive! Thanks for all of your support! http://www.synthetic.org/play.php We're almost done and will return to even more mispronunciations and start mailing out prizes and thank you's! But never fear, you've still got just under 2 weeks to get in on the fun! This weekend in Toronto we're being treated to something like 36 hours of straight snow, fairly heavy for this part of Canada. So I've stocked up on snacks and I've got to get caught up on Severance. I'm getting everything done early for the weekend so I can enjoy the last few days of my stay-cation on the couch. Might even get the final Membership drive show started! But I'm getting ahead of myself... Blut Reaktor - Lovers Virulents - Basilisk Cryptic Echoes - Fractured Reality Dezeption - And You Never Hear What I Say Darkvolt - White Lie (Andy De Baeke) Massive Ego - In Your Own Darkness Frozen Plasma - Amnesia (Feat.

Welcome to the second week of the 2025 membership drive! http://www.synthetic.org/membership.php Yes, we've survived the first week of Todd begging for money, but how about another? Those of you who have been with me for a while will know the drill. A Patreon where I don't bother you every single week. Just the shortest month of the year. Over and done. But your support means the world to me, and I'm always really pleased to see the names of people who have given thier support for years as well as the new names the pop up every year. Welcome and thank you! But enough of that, lets get down to some really great music this week. We hit South America at least twice this week I think, and get some new acts some airplay as well as some returning favourites! MissSuicide - Narziss (Blue Ant) DSTRTD_SGNL - Body to Body (Bigod 20) Black.N - Deforestacion (KRSSV) Uncreated - Alliance State Of Anguish - If Only Happy707 - Inercia Expandida Phaser One - History Repeats (Echodead) NECR0 - Desolate http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

The 2025 membership drive is upon us! http://www.synthetic.org/membership.php Yes, we take the month of February to plug what would be called our Patreon. But since RSA has just turned 27, we're keeping it old school. I don't like having to plug anything other than the music so we get it all out in Feb. Help keep RSA going another year by considering visiting the Membership page. Everyone who donates will get something in the mail from me, even if its just a card saying thanks! But enough of that, lets get down to some great new music that is a little synthier-across-the-board than usual. But as I've mentioned in the past the mood I'm in when selecting the tracks does affect my choices. This week its upbeat and dancey! Decence - Interstellar Stars Crusaders - Eternal Dance Cryptic Echoes - Ghosts In The Alley Front Line Assembly - Mechvirus (Ultra Sunn) Electron7 - The Rise Cicero - Weekender (Extended) E_Lect - You Kite - Heartless Places http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

Getting things ready for the 2025 membership drive (which starts NEXT week) and listening to this weeks show. I did find the dumbest mispronunciation of a bands name that I've made in quite a while. I'd go and fix it, but perfection is not what people who listen to RSA are expecting. I'd be highly amused with an AI rendition of my voice. Could you imagine training it on all of my mistakes? It'd probably try to end every sentence with "Anyways...". Thanks for the help in the last couple of weeks, folks have pointed out bad links and other general mistakes. I'm sure I'll be thanking you even more next week! But lets get back to the present and after you've all watched the Live Front 242 show on YouTube, we've got a great show with some really nice dancey stuff! MissSuicide - Narziss Ankomst - Dancing In Warsaw (Colony 5) AD-Key - Deine Augen (Extended) Code 64 - The Running Man Black.N - Just A Little Simon Carter - Pain & Pleasure Schwefelgelb - Open World Game (UFO95) Tachion-X - The Opposer http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio
