Feeling much much more human this week, so you'll have to listen to the dulcet tones of my voice that much longer. Actually, we're doing a slightly longer show than usual as I'll be away next weekend basking in the tropical sun of Edinburgh. I intend to eat so poorly that when I return to Canada I'll have to spend a month eating nothing but vegetables. But the just the idea of a Munchie Box intrig...

Very brief this week. I've been sick all weekend, but I had the show mostly done before I was flattened. Still recovering, so I'm going to cut this short. Kris Baha - Hi Flow (Dark Energy) Vorn - Faithless (Speechless) Vogon Poetry - All Systems Red Mildreda - End Of The Line (Steril) Andreas Davids & Sven Phalanx - 802701 (Misssuicide) cut.rate.box - New Religion Elektrostaub - Moments In My Life...

Welcome back! Only a couple of weeks until my vacation, and I'm starting to get prepared! I've also been tossing around a thought for the past few months that I need to do another supplemental show. I think I'm going to make use of my musical "mid life crisis" and do something up to sorta encapsulate the late 80s and early 90s Thrash Metal. Kids need to learn who Exodus was. Especially beacuse a l...

We've got a great show for everyone this week including a really cool "re-master" 27 years later from Neuroticfish. I'm getting ready for my little vacation this summer. Pickles has been told to need the Vet in the first week of July, and my garden will get watered. But until then, enjoy this show with some great new music from... Culture Kultur - Verbundenheit BlakLight - Cruel (Ego Bliss) Extize...

Had a bit of a pet emergency as DJ Pickles decided that after 4 years he was going to be just like his brother Riki and develop a urinary blockage. A lot of money and worrying later, and he's fine. He's currently on the other chair in my office stoned out of his mind. But now that I'm down off the ceiling lets get you listening to some great new stuff as I stumble my way through more German words!...

No holiday this weekend, just torrential downpours of rain. Looks like its much warmer in Germany for those attending WGT. I hope everyone there has a great time! All of my plans have been finalized for my small summer vacation. If you're in Edinburgh in the first week of July, drop me a line! Blaklight - Leave A Light On (A Spell Inside) Frozen Plasma - Silberlicht Mesh - Be Kind Beyond Border -...

Its a holiday weekend in Canada as we celebrate the ever anachronistic Victoria Day. But Monday isn't a holiday in the rest of the world so I've got a great show to get you through your week. Some really interesting stuff including a "historical" track that I talk about in the show. Alienare - Au Clair De La Lune Apres La Nuit - Cia Ma Belle (Sonic Sound Factory) Last Chance - Send Me And Angel (S...

Much more of a quiet weekend than usual. Took some time off from getting the garden ready to get RSA out to you! Maybe next year I should send RSA Tomatoes as prizes! I have had a few inquiries about the pins, never fear I will get back to people shortly. I just hav eto go buy some more stamps. This week I cherry picked some tracks from my inbox because I wanted to see what a few bands are doing n...

My vacation is basically over so the sun has come out to taunt me today and when I go back to work on Monday. But with a cool, rainy week I had plenty of time to work on RSA, so no lateness thius week. Heck I was feeling like it was 2015 again or something and I started work on next weeks show as well! But I've learned not to get too far ahead of myself. This week we're actually playing some synth...

A pleasant sunny Sunday has me inside finishing RSA just as lickety damn split as I can before the sun runs away again. I have the next week off and I'm planning everything around our brief glimpses of the sun. This week we've got a great show without any German words to trip over. Instead, I'll take this opportunity to mangle English, as I do on days ending with the letter "Y". If anyone wants an...

We have a world premiere for everyone this week! Back in 1990 my tastes in music slowly shifted from Thrash Metal and Punk to a more electronic sound. There were two Toronto bands that helped me bridge the genres. Malhavoc and DHI. Both combined aggressive guitars with sequencing and samples. Both were obviously very influential on me. Well, 36 years later I get to debut a new DHI EP on RSA. I hop...

Finally got my passport application dealt with. Let me tell you folks, losing your passport and birth certificate causes months of dealing with Provincial and Federal bureaucracy. But it looks like I'll be able to have a short summer vacation this year. One last package to get in the mail this week! If anyone is interested in buying the RSA pins, I have a few left over. Drop me an email. Lifelong...

Its a cool, windy and rainy day in Toronto, as we slowly emerge from winter into (whats usually) 3 weeks of spring. Hopefully this year we'll get some nice weather before the AC season starts. The pins I sent out to my industry friends arrived, and I was delighted that people posted photos. Coming in the next couple of weeks will be a new worldwide premiere here on RSA. Keep your eyes peeled and y...

I beleive that all of the packages/prizes have arrived at their various destinations. If you donated to the membership drive and are still waiting, please let me know. I have about 40 or so pins left, so I'll probably sell a few shortly. Drop me a line if you're intersted. I'll mention it on the show as well. This week I get to play some more aggressive stuff, and I think we struck a nice balance...

This weeks show marks the end of me having to walk to the mailbox several times a week. Every prize has been mailed, and a lot have been received. I still have a fair number of pins left, so I may sell a few if people are interested. Lots of great new stuff for everyone, and no covers this week to make us all feel old! District 13 - Decision Of Ego (White Noise TV) Kant Kino - Rodney (Edit) Blue A...

The prizes from the membership drive are slowly starting to arrive in your mailboxes. Everything has been posted, so if in a few weeks you haven't received anything, let me know. I'm actually in the process of sending out pins to my industry friends, hopefully we see them too in the future! Definitely going to make different ones for the next couple of years! Extize - Techno Viking (Accessory) Sta...

I'm actually surprised how much faster it was getting the prizes in the mail by regular post. Of course I was cheating a little bit, and a couple of packages have been RTS'd with insufficient postage. So I'll wait a week or so and send them out as something oher han lettermail. But as winter slowly turns to spring, I'm going to head outside for some fresh air as we bring you... ExCubitors - Let Me...

The annual membership drive is now complete, and I get to do my favourite part of this whole thing. Mailing prizes and RSA swag to everyone! Things will be going via Canada Post this year, so it may take a little longer to get to you, but I'm able to get them in the mail much quicker this year! As a celebration of your generosity heres a brand new show! DSTRTD SGNL & Drea Perlon - Eisbar (Extended...

Welcome to the final episode of the annual RSA membership drive! You've got just a few days left to get in on the prizes and keep RSA going for another year! THis week we've got a really neat dancy show. There are moments when I miss DJing live, and this show is one that resembles my live sets fairly well. Oh well. One or two gigs left to go. So don't forget, hit the membership page while you're e...

Well, my staycation is coming to an end, so I decided I'd make sure I finished the show on Friday the 13th so that I could have a Valentines present for all of you! Welcome to the 3rd and penultimate episode of the annual RSA membership drive. Your support keeps us going for another year! This week the show leans a little lighter than usual. I figure at least on this one day we don't need all cook...

Welcome to the second week of the Annual Membership Drive. The weather outside up here in the great white north is bright and clear and -30c with the windchill. So I decided that today was a good day to finish RSA and stay inside to avoid that nastiness. We've got a great show for everyone this week including a collaboration between Massive Ego and Boy George. The 80s are leaking again! Don't forg...

Today as I finish recording and start getting this weeks show posted, I realize that today is special for two reasons! First, welcome to the first week of the Annual Membership Drive. Please visit the page, check out the prizes, and consider supporting us! http://www.synthetic.org/membership.php Secondly as of the date of "production" today RSA has officially turned 28 years old! Thank you so much...

Waiting out the latest "Snowpocalypse" here in SW Ontario. We're supposed to get something like 10 inches of snow today along with arctic winds. So today will be watching the storm in between movies and junk food. The prizes for the membership drive have arrived, I urge you to check out the video I posted on the FB group as well as BlueSky. I'm really impressed with the quality, and I think you wi...

Spent the week basically bedridden as I "recovered" from my flu last week, then proceeded to push myself too far. So I spent a few days taking my time and resting, and voila! I left the house and got RSA done today. It's nice to eat food. I remember that now. But it was nice to sit down and have some fun working on RSA instead of lying in bed. This week we've got a great mix of the synthie and the...

Apologies, you'll find in this weeks show that I was planning on posting the show earlier on Saturday, but before I could hit "publish" I got taken down with the flu. After a couple of days bedridden, I'm up and shakey today, but capable to posting this weeks show! So before I go back to recuperating, lets see what I have in store for you... Deadly Injection - Religion (Destroy Me Again) Soman - I...
