RSA August 25th 2025

Had a really nice 4 day weekend, went to the CNE, did some cycling, and listening to music for both this show and a soon to be announced Sanctuary gig in November. Keep your ears open. I'm going to be doing longer sets. But this week we've got some great music for you on RSA, possibly even a track or two I might play live. You never know, the next couple of months are going to be interesting!

Its going to be another crazy hot weekend inn Toronto, so I'm hunkering down and working on projects indoors at least today. Hopefully everyone has a great weekend at Infest, I'm probably going to finish re-cabling my server closet and spend some time on the balcony just listening to new music!

I got a lot of great feedback about last weeks extra long theme show! I'm really glad you folks liked it, I haven't gotten that many emails about a show in years. We'll have to have another one. Probably closer to the 2026 membership drive! But we're back to our normal format of new music, and we've got a great show for everyone this week!

RSA August 4th 2025 - 2000s Theme show!

A few weeks ago I promised a theme show, I like to do extra long shows when I come back from one of my two "breaks" every year. It would appear that I've used up all of my RSA vacation time, so its smooth sailing from here to the end of the year. This week we're going 2 hours into the period of time from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I've tried to pick bands that were of that era, and are now defunct, but you'll probably notice a few bands that are going strong all these years later. I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane! Boole - Sasquatch (2008) Tristesse de la Lune - Time Is Moving (Negative Format) (2005) Culture Kultur - Lost Ideals (2001) In Strict Confidence - Zauberschloss (Extended) (2001) Six Sigma - Cinco July-o (1997) Fiction 8 - Let Go (2000) Full frequency - Drop Down (1996) Stromkern - Re-align (Seabound) (2002) Velvet Acid Christ - Decypher (Force = Authority) (1999) Individual Totem - Paradoxon (1998) Moulin Noir - Spellbound (Run Level Zero) (2001) Revolution By Night - Faithless (VNV) (2003) Wideband Network - Orbit (Club) (2003) Aiboforcen - Twilight World (A23) (2001) Syntec - Talk To The Other World (Club) (1995) S.V.D. - Big Bad City (Singapore) (2003) Mechanical Horizon - New Horizons (2001) Contruggle Test - Shop (2000) Access Zero - Years Of Wasted Time (2010) State Of The Union - Black City Lights (2002) Sero Overdose - For You (2005) Gridlock - Enzyme (Dryft) (1998) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

A much better week than last, so I'm here with a show for you! I've made some progress on the upcoming theme show, the list of tracks has made it from my phone to my computer. The tracks picked came out to an even number, so I can use everything without making any cuts. The one hint I'll give away is we're looking at a timeframe from the late 90s to the early aughts. This week we've got a great show for everyone as I put a few discs to bed and play some more new stuff! Massiv In Mensch - Around My Heart (Autoexec.bat) Terence Fixmer - Another End (Oliver Rosemann) Rotoskop - Body Spirit Soul (Rob Dust) Beborn Beton - Anorexic World (Oren Amram) Phaser One - Identify (feat. LARCON) TC75 - Motion (DSTRTD SGNL) Culture Kultur - War Is Over (Redux) Zanias - Dawn http://synthetic.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

So my vacation didn't come off as I expected. I had a very, very large flare up of my anxiety disorder so I made the smart decision and stayed home rather be in distress while visiting friends. Its not the first time its happened, so I'm going to put a pause on overnight flights and multiple time zones. William Gibson once wrote that flying allowed us to travel faster than our souls, and it usually takes ~18 hours for them to catch up. But I'm much better now, almost back to normal, so what better way to celebrate than put out...
