RSAudio

Cycling season is rapidly coming to a close, so that means that I no longer venture outdoors much on the weekend, and dedicate my time to playing World of Warships and working on RSA. As I mentioned last week, I've already started compiling tracks for the best of 2016, and if you have any favorites for this year, please drop me a line!

So now that all of the T-Shirts have been mailed (and we still have a few left for sale!) I now get to start ruminating on the best of for 2016. I've already got a few picks, and I'm re-listening to the older shows and making notes. If you have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it!Schwarzbund - Aether (Club Mix)Binary Park - Nothing (Club Mix)Psy'Aviah - Alone (Etasonic Andre H)Ego Likeness - Devils In The Chemicals (Sin Mix)Synthattack - Club Takeover (Reaper)Arian 1 - Pure ControlDiffuzion - Cycle (Mlada Fronta)Sirus - Neon Dominion (Aesthetic Perfection)http://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Spoooooky! This weeks RSA falls on Hallowe'en! Maybe I should have just played Ministry and Bauhaus about 100 times, or created one of those "10 hours of" videos on YouTube. But in case you might not be interested in being trolled, I got a great new show for everyone!

So the new T-Shirts have been picked up, and as soon as I'm done updating the site the first batch will be put in the post. Those waiting overseas it might take a little bit, but I plan on having all of the packages mailed out and the ordering page re-opened by next weekend. There are a few Large and X-Large "extras" but I want to make sure the pre-orders are done first!

A warm yet rainy day in Toronto means that I have plenty of time to work on things that don't involve a bicycle. Such as getting RSA complete in an awesome, and timely manner. Hopefully the shirts should be in my hands by the end of the week, and I can spend part of next weekend packing up and shipping out shirts! A very limited number will go on sale once I have the order.

By the time you read this, its likely that the 2016 RSA T-Shirt order has been placed. But I forgot that Monday the 7th is Canadian Thanksgiving, so I'm not going to take down the ordering page until Tuesday morning. Last chance, etc. You know the drill. This week I clear out some stuff with the "last tracks" played from a few discs. I always like to limit myself and only play a bit of new discs. Gives you more incentive to buy!We The North - Understand Me (ES23)Torul - Saviour Of Love (Extended)Metroland - Synthetic Sound (12 Inch)nTTx - Falls Beautiful (Stars Crusaders)Aesthetische - Eye On YouSecond Version - Heroes (Sphere)Syntec - Catch My FallForetaste - P.U.L.S.E.http://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

This is the absolute last week of pre-orders on the new 2016 RSA T-Shirt! I'm going to keep the ordering open until October 7th and then place the order. If you want a shirt that isn't a mens Large or XL, now is the time to order. I won't be getting "extras" in any other size. But with that aside, we've got a great shows this week as we put a few discs to bed, and crack a few brand new ones open!Extize - Rodeo StarsBeborn Beton - She Cried (Zynic)Assemblage 23 - December (Neuroticfish)Torul - MondayArctic Sunrise - Silent TearsPride & Fall - Broken Men (Nevarakka)Aesthetische - We Follow BlindlySeelennacht - Lifelineshttp://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

As noted below, we are now accepting pre-orders on the new 2016 RSA T-Shirt! We've hit the minimum number of orders to actually produce it, and we're going to hold off until October 7th to place the order. Apparently people want to have paycheques in their bank accounts before ordering. Who knew? This week I get to break out more Facebook photos for the show as we feature people I've actually met!Scheuber - HumanChrom - Visions (Blutengel)Beborn Beton - 24-7 Mystery (Val Solo)Assemblage 23 - DecemberForetaste - One By OneDiorama - DefconMesh - The Fixer (Olafs Mended)Syntec - Catch My Fall (Scott Bell)http://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

As noted below, we are now accepting pre-orders on the new 2016 RSA T-Shirt! Make sure to put your order in if you want one, as we do a very limited run and there aren't many extras after I've sent out the orders, held a few for the membership drive, and sent out a few as gifts! http://synthetic.org/tshirt.phpBut lets not forget the reason for the shirt, the show!Covenant - Sound MirrorsStudio-X vs. Simon Carter - Move OnAssemblage 23 - Bravery (Interface)In Strict Confidence - Everything Must Change (Melotron)Beborn Beton - She Cried (Extended Club)Extize - Guns, Gasoline, & CowbellMesh - The RideBinary Division - My Worldhttp://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

The shirt design has been chosen, and now I'm just doing my due diligence and getting a couple of quotes. But the one from my vendor last year has come in at a good price, so we should be able to start pre-orders next week! But enough about shirts, how about shows?Metallspurhunde - Mach Es Weider Gut (Unmensch)HypoFixx - Destroy This Nation (Telophazer)Spark! - Utan OssTamtrum - Ass RiderExtize - Lawless GringoDismantled - The Hero (Feed)Torul - Saviour Of Love (Sono)Voicecoil - Automatonhttp://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

The new T-Shirt designs are in, make sure you head over to the RSA Facebook group to vote on your favorite! I beleive that next week we will start pre-orders! I can guarantee that the whole process from start to finish will take absolutely no time. Especially compared to last year!

I just couldn't get off my arse last night to get the show finished, and thats why its going up after work on Monday and not first thing on Monday morning. Keep your eyes peeled for news about a brand new RSA T-Shirt design! Next weeks show will be slightly delayed due to the labour day weekend, but until then we have...

Toronto is slowly cooling off, so it was far more comfortable to actually work on the show this week. I sometimes say that I slaved over a hot hard drive, but lately this has been literally true. This week we hit the lighter synth-pop type stuff and clean up my in pile a bit.Nordika - Delirious Passion (Oren Amram)Parralox - Somebody II (People Theatre)Foretaste - Paradise Of Broken HeartsInsight - Damage (Technique)Metroland - Brother (Sawtooth)Celluloide - People Like Me (Consolation)System Noire - On The Other SideAvarice In Audio - Anthracite Nights (Junksista)http://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

With the incredible heat and humidity I actually had to stay in on Saturday. This is good for finishing the show. However, I then realized I would have to turn off all of the devices (Fan, AC, Dehumidifier) that were making my studio bearable in order to complete the show. So for a whole 15 minutes that I needed of silence, I sweated out RSA just for you. Literally this time.

I'm back after a nice long vacation, and I've got a really great show for everyone this week. I find that after I've taken some time off to recharge my batteries, the resulting show is really fun to listen to. I'm quite fond of this.
