I swear, I'm sitting here patiently waiting for spring to start in Canada. I'm aware of the futility of expecting great weather in April, but c'mon! Still, while I can't really indulge in my favorite hobby, it gives me plenty of time to work on RSA each week!

A little bit slow this week, and I don't really have an excuse coming off of a long weekend. But for once I decided to take it easy and get a bit of reading done. Plus everything goes on hold while I binge Daredevil...

Welcome to the first RSA of spring! A time when young men start to think about getting outside and riding all weekend. Old men like me too. But never fear, RSA is always my very top priority by the end of the weekend. July might be a bit fun this year as my vacation time appears to be centered all right around that month...

No theme this week, back to playing great new music. Its also a challenge as I have a terrible cold right now (and hopefully the last one for the winter) but I still managed to get a show out for us all and a boat load of prizes in the mail. A few more to go, but at least I don't feel like I'm neglecting you all now!

So earlier this week I was randomly listening to older music and decided that I was going to do a "back catalogue" show. Then I decided on a theme. Bands where the name starts with M or N. It actually turned out very very well, and I'm pretty impressed that what is essentially a random selection of music can be made to fit together so well. I guess my skills do, in fact, pay the bills!

This week, or today at least, is a weird one. I don't think we've ever had a show fall on Leap Day, and I'm happy to say that the membership drive is now over, and was a complete success! You've saved us for another year! I have all of the prizes in, and more than half of the DVDs and Blu-Ray discs burned, so I expect to start making large trips to the post office very soon!

Last show before our annual membership drive starts! This week we've got some absolutely phenomenal good stuff including a track from a 3 volume collection of Front 242 covers. Sadly its on a small label in Germany, and they don't appear to have US distribution yet. But keep your eyes peeled for updates to the links on the play list!Mechatronic - Operating TracksEisfabrik - White StormDesastroes - My Inspiration (Instrumental)Cutoff Sky - People Of EarthStudio-X vs. Simon Carter - The GameInfernosounds - When Heaven DiesSolar Fake - ObserverEvo-Lution - Herr der Tranenhttp://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

So now that we've played more than a little bit of Synthpop, its time to bring some balance to the force and play a little bit from the Dark Side. This week we delve into the ever so slightly heavier side of EBM. There's even an opportunity to post another photo of Simon Carter!Dream Recall - In Control (C-Lekktor)Komputergirl - Last Resort (Kant Kino)Eisfabrik - Let Me LiveEvo-Lution - JahreszeitenAcylum - Born To Be Hated (Simon Carter)Vigilante - We Are One (Neuroticfish)Blakopz - Turn Key Tyranny (Chainreactor)Cygnosic - Fire And Forget (Skinjob)http://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Welcome to the very first extra special theme show RSA of 2016! Every year when we do the membership drive, I like to try and give a little something extra.

Welcome to the very first RSA of 2016! I've worked hard over the holidays and put together not one, but a few really awesome shows for you. But you're going to have to be patient, I can't give everything away so you'll just have to keep tuning in each week in suspense. Will it be a "new" show? Will it be an extra-long special? You'll see!

Here it is. The one you've been waiting all year to hear. The RSA annual best of show for 2015. Picking the tracks was a long and hard process, but it confirmed to me that the "scene" is still alive and quite healthy. I have a few real favorites in here, but I'll let you guess which ones. Enjoy an extra special last show for 2015, as we head into the 18th year of Real Synthetic Audio!Neuroticfish - Illusion Of HomeMind.In.A.Box - Unforgiving WorldAngels & Agony - ShineAesthetic Perfection - ForeverAesthetische - Here Today (Clubshot)Entrzelle - Rites Of Romance (Avarice In Audio)Dream Recall - In ControlParralox - ElectricityMechanical Cabaret - I Lost My Friend To A Video Game (Extended)Technolorgy - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)Studio-X vs. Simon Carter - Dance With Me (Alternate)Avarice In Audio - Sleepwalking Societies (Euphorian)Ashbury Heights - PhantasmagoriaMondtraume - Far From Pain (Aesthetische)http://synthetic.org/https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa
