RSA November 4th 2024

We've finally caught up with the rest of the world. Time change was last night in North America, the USA changed the date a few years ago, and when the US has a cold, we sneeze. I do want to say good luck to my American friends this week. The whole world is watching. Nervously. Hell, we're going to have our own turn at trying to keep the far-right out of a majority government here shortly enough. But lets block out the real world for an hour and listen to some great new music! Freunde Der Technik - Vielen Dank!

I hope you're all ready for Hallowe'en! Only a few more days to go, and I've got to start hoarding candy for Thursday. For the kids. I swear. But I'm up at an ungodly hour on a Sunday to make sure the show gets posted nice and early. It's already 2pm in Europe and I've not even had my tea yet! But I have a strange way of thinking, I usually think about the folks who have donated and thus shared where in the world they live. I have to get it online before people in Edinburgh or Stuttgart get tired of waiting! I always put a face or two to tasks I do. But this week has got some great stuff with a little lean to the Techno Industrial! Our Graves - System Overload MALWERE - Along The Riverbank NeuroWulf - Havoc (ft. Smooth) Re.Mind - Free Your Liberty Destroy Me Again - Titan (Rob Dust) VOLKOFF - Belongs To Us AUDIOCALL - The Tower (Steril) Conscience - This Life (Nsm) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

This week I'm getting the show posted nice and early because its going to be the last 20c sunny Sunday, and I've gotta get outside and soak up some of that vitamin D. But this week we dive a bit into the growly aggro stuff that I do love playing, but I find I really only like the "exceptional" tracks. But with the number of talented people working on stuff like that, there's a fair bit of great stuff. This scene is a "big tent" and we have room for all! I'm also very pleased at finding a Reservation Dogs sample in the wild. I'm a trend setter!

Last week was a lot of fun. Its a lot more work, especially picking tracks, but the end result is a little gift for you all to enjoy! Now, this week is a lot more digestible but we've got a lot of great music including the first appearance on RSA for a number of acts. I hope we hear more great stuff from them all in the future! I'm also kinda sad to report that we're going to be looking for a new Merch vendor. Apparently the one that I had previously used has erected a 12 foot tall "Vote For Tr*mp" lighted sign. Sorry, homie don't play that. Not even on Christmas. So I'm looking for your help for what to do with the 2025 membership drive prizes. We need your input for! So listen to the show, and drop me a line!

I'm glad the realization that we haven't done a "Best of the best" since 2017. That gave me a good 7 years of best of shows to pick out my favourites, and a maybe give an overall view of the great music thats been released and continues to. Of course, I forgot how much work compiling something like this is, and the longer show means more work. But it was definitely worth it, and I hope this one gets a fair bit of play. So sit back and enjoy a couple of hours singing along with the stompy, growly, synthy, and the best part of all. Me rambling on!

OK, I have made the commitment. Next week is going to be our extra long best of the best show. This is actually a long weekend for some folks (myself included) so I'll have all day Monday to slave over a hot hard drive to get it out! But lets not forget the great show we have for everyone this week. A little bit of everything!

More work continues on the upcoming "Best of the Best" show, I have a track list, and now I just have to spend some time to start piecing it together. In more personal news, a valued contributor to RSA, my buddy Sundie, passsed away earlier this week. He was responsible for 3d printing the RSA tags, and even printed a replacement knob for a fan I have and embossed on the top "Real Synthetic Knob". So while we've got great new music for everything this week, its taken me more time than usual.
