RSA March 24th 2025

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!

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.

RSA February 10th 2025

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
