http://synthetic.orgThere's been a lot of great new music released very recently, enough so that I may lock myself in my studio and do a couple of shows so that when I go away for the Victoria Day weekend I still have a show to post. Of course, with the weather finally turning nice up here in the Great White North is might be a good idea to get a little ahead of myself anyhow. Patenbrigade Wolff - Democratische Sector 2018 Devil-M - Hold Me (ES23) X-O-Planet - Distructive Shadow Frozen Plasma - Safe Dead Harm (Extended Club) Unity One - Awakening Antibody - Secrets Reichsfeind - Carrousel NoyceTM - Propaganda http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

http://synthetic.orgWoke up this morning to wet snow on the ground, so I abandoned all pretense of cycling this weekend. But the rest of the week looks nice and warm. But with the bike back on the wall I decided that rather than waste money on computer gear I don't need, I'd finish RSA and at least brighten your weekend up a bit! Implant - Oxynoxe-R Gunmaker - Like Tears In Rain All The Ashes - Schwarz Macht Schlank (In Progress) Pleasure Time - Take Me Away U96 + Wolfgang Flur - Zunkunftsmusik (Schneider & Goenveld) Mental Discipline - Lifekiller (C-Lekktor) Sector One - Samuel F.B. Morse Vogon Poetry - Heart Of Gold http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Another dammed weekend of sub zero temperatures means that I'm once again not getting on the bike to ride off some pounds. Instead I'm going to eat fried chicken after I'm done posting RSA for the week. Thats close though right? I'll still lose calories mixing music, right? No. Damn. Oh well, at least we've got some great new music this week including a very special promo! Lederman-DeMeyer - A Tribe Of My Own Gasoline Invertebrate - Freak Drive (Klutae) Zoon Politicon - New Conscience (Hidden Souls) Scheuber - Paulus Matt Springfield - See You (EMP) Chainreactor - Legendary Suffering Cryo - Control (Iambia) Noycetm - Propaganda http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! This is it folks, the last show of 2017! This is the one that takes me the most time to do as I sift through all of the great music we've played in the past year and condense it down to what I consider to be the "best of" show. 2017 was a pretty darn good year, with bands that are new to us making it to the best of. I hope you enjoy my picks! Neuroticfish - Agony (A23 & Mari Kattman) Aesthetische - In My Aurora (Uplifting) Cutoff Sky - The Girls Red Cell - The Ladder (Xenturion Prime) Kirilian Camera - Sky Collapse (Dancetronic) Desastroes - Nur Eine Machine (DJ Thommy) SD-KRTR - Rise (Aesthetische) Alpha Point - Cold Trace JanRevolution - Man Without Return Matt Springfield - Things I've Said (Rob Dust) TOY - The Darkness & The Light De/Vision - Synchronize (Synchomesh) Mechatronic - Don't Bother To Knock (Extended) Studio-X - Kapooyah http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Only one week to go until the annual best of! But we've got tonnes of great new music for you this week, and we put a few discs to bed so that you go out and buy copies! Don't forget we also have a few shirts left to sell, so grab one before they're gone forever! http://www.synthetic.org/tshirt.php Xenturion Prime - Propulsion SD-KRTR - Dreams C-Lekktor - Tonight You Are Mine 11 Grams - Synthetic 3.5 iVardensphere - Surface Tension Rroyce - Who Needs (Beborn Beton) Cosmic Armchair - Cannonballs Freakangel - In The Witch House (Ritualz) http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

While it isn't quite happy birthday to RSA yet (30 days to go!) It *is* my birthday! So what am I doing on this special day? Getting the show done for my favorite people. You! The countdown to the membership drive and the 20th anniversary spectacular has commenced! But until then we have... Eisfabrik - Brother Want/ed - (You) Won't Regret (Nordika) Parralox - Artificial Elektrostaub - Also Without You Faderhead - Night Physics Zynic - Neon Oblivion (David Burdick) For All The Emptiness - You Hurt (Neuroticfish) Cosmic Armchair - Conversation http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

I personally consider this to be the first show of 2018, as the last one was done while I was still on Christmas holidays. Its bloody cold outside in Toronto, so what better way to avoid it than sitting indoors and finishing RSA. Listening to RSA is also a good way to avoid cold! Hopefully a good number of you have taken the time to watch the RSA Documentary. I hope you enjoy it as much as you're going to enjoy... Displacer - No Mr Nice Guy Intent Outtake - Eclipse (Album Edit) VDOC - Engel (Rob Dust) In Strict Confidence - The Darkside AD Key - Ich Reanimiere Dich (The Psychic Force) Omnimar - Not Strong (Oleg Xaler) After The Rain - Future Will Be Fine (Itch) The Saint Paul - Come With Me http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Its about at this time every year that I start getting a bit of cabin fever and the itch to ride my bike gets bad. But this year I have made a commitment to make the 20th anniversary membership drive extra special, and the shows will be live (and posted here for posterity) so I can't escape to my parents place in Florida. But that just means I have plenty of time to work just that bit extra hard on RSA while I pine for the fjords. Hopefully a good number of you have taken the time to watch the RSA Documentary. I hope you enjoy it as much as you're going to enjoy... Rroyce - Who Needs Eisfabrik - No Time For Regret Implant - The End C-Lekktor - Animals Chainreactor - The Devil's Trick (ES23) The Saint Paul - Blue Bird Celldweller - The Last Firstborn (Audiotec) Val Solo - Why Don't You Talk To Me http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

The 2018 membership drive inches closer, and the 20th anniversary celebration are literally just around the corner! The next month is going to be a celebration of all things RSA as the shows will be streamed (and created!) live on the Facebook group with your interaction! So many things to see and do, and of course to listen to! For All The Emptiness - Seduced By A Disease (Apop) In Good Faith - Choose Your Way (Tragic Impulse) Celldweller - Switchback (Neuroticfish) Zynic - Neon Oblivion (T.O.Y) Val Solo - I'm In Space (Cabdriver Dreams) EGOamp - Mind Machine (PreCog) Elektrostaub - Prediction Psy'Aviah - Sound Of New (SD-KRTR) http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

While we're not at the 20th anniversary as of the time of the posting of this show (thats Jan 31st) this will be the RSA that you listen to while it happens. I'm going to have some special communications, both audio and video on the day of celebrating this show turning 20. But suffice it to say, I can't possibly tell you all just how much your support and listenership means to me. It validates a "hobby" that began in 1995 as a club DJ, and continued long past my retirement. But we'll have more on that on the 31st. Until then please enjoy... C-Lekktor - Rotten Flesh Out Out - On Repeat (Club) Psy'Aviah - Sound Of New (Alter Future Dub) FCH - Restless Specters Faderhead - Know Your Darkness Omnimar - Boom Boom (Cutoff Sky) Ginger Snap5 - Distant Star (Long) Scheuber - Bliss (Eisfabrik) http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

"It was twenty years ago today Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play" - The Beatles In January of 1998 I sat down with a dilemma. I was a club DJ who had a lot of great music to play, but couldn't experiment *too much* in the club. For some reason I wanted to be a radio DJ, and breaking in to the college radio clique wasn't going to happen. So I experimented with creating a "radio show" within my computer and set up a web site to stream it. On Jan 31 1998 the first episode of RSA went online. It was terrible of course, but through experience I got better. I was incredibly proud when we hit our first anniversary and had artists such as Jarkko Tuohimaa (Neuroactive) and Alexander Hofman (S.P.O.C.K) record congratulatory greetings. I had no idea that I'd be still doing it 20 years later. There are far too many people to thank individually for the support, technical assistance, and listener-ship that has happened over this time. But know this. If you're reading this now, you're a huge part of why I've been successful at this. To celebrate this, I present to you a short video that will hopefully entertain you and convey how I feel today. https://youtu.be/vqwCSFcF5vY I would also like to present a special guest show that one of our longest listeners, Wolf of Ultimas Lagrimas, a german radio show, who creates music as 'Electric Toys' has done for us. While I can't promise another 20 years (I'll be 65 then!) I can promise that there is no end in sight for RSA, and I look forward to badly mispronouncing German words, saying "Anyways", and creating the best shows I can. Thank you.

This weeks live show is a little shorter, well, its the normal length of RSA. I have a terrible cold bordering on the flu, and I had to get the show done because I made a commitment to you, but not so much that I don't want to return to the couch for Netflix and hot tea!

Welcome to the final show of the 2018 membership drive! This was supposed to be a live, streamed show on Facebook, and that did happen. However I forgot to hit the "record" button and simply streamed it. Then Facebook copyright scripts decided that I couldn't play SD-KRTR, and would I like to delete the video or claim ownership? Well Simon, you win this round! So I re-created the show and here we are! http://www.synthetic.org/membership.php IMJUDAS - Tulpa (AD-Key) Psy'Aviah - Our Common Future (Dizkodude) Wasserkraft Manifest - Science Conquered Love Assemblage 23 - Document (Echo Image) SD-KRTR - Dreams Forces Of Light - Hall Of The Blind Seadrake - Something Durable (Disko Deutschland) Spektralized - Learn And Teach http://synthetic.org/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa
