Last week of the "normal" year as we present to you the penultimate episode of RSA for 2025. For those keeping track, this is episode #1367! The holiday obligations are plentiful, but I've budgeted enough time to get the show finished next week. I was actually surprised by a few tracks that I would have glanced over if I was choosing tracks visually. But listening to every show seems to always strike gold! 

Elektrostaub - Too Far From The Pack (diarBlack)
cut.rate.box - Fireshine (Extended)
DSTRTD SGNL & Talla 2XLC - Dreams (Dark Club)
Dawn Of Ashes - Faith Desecration (Frontal Boundary)
Pending Position - Immer Wenn Es Dunkel Ist
Kartagon - Space (Future Lied To Us)
Assemblage 23 - Last
Zanias - Happy Endings

RSA December 22nd 2025

I've gotten some good suggestions for the best of 2025 emailed to me! Only 2 more weeks until CHristmas is over and I give you my gift, an extra long show. I've begun ordering prizes for the 2026 membership drive. The theme is going to be "flat" to get around the craziness that is trying to mail anything to the USA. This week we've got a great mix of the synth and the agression along with my usual comical attempts at pronouncing words I haven't encountered before!

Asphodel Ivory - Eclipse (Teknovore)
Evo-Lution - Dein Takt
Beyond Border - Machines (Eisfabrik)
X Marks The Pedwalk - Automatic Hero
Kommision Z80 - Deny, Defend, Dispose! (Stahlschlag)
Starsign - Steal The Sun (Single Edit)
Outsized - Komet (VDOC Club)
Lights Of Euphoria - Crystal Cave

After a week from hell, I did manage to spend most of my Friday night blissed out and listening to music for RSA. There's some really neat stuff in here this week, including an interesting cover. All tracks now are eligible for the best of 2026 next year. But I think I have about half of the anual year end show picked. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me!

Soman - The Killer
DSTRTD SGNL & Talla 2XLC - Dreams (Club)
Faderhead - We All Smile Here (Nothing's Fine)

RSA December 8th 2025

The homelab is all nice and fixed, but I never did get an offer for a stack of Hard Drives. :) Stuff like that is getting ridiculously expensive because of all of the Goddamned AI data centers which create nothing but heat. We've got a great show for everyone this week, as the first track I picked had a very fast tempo, and as I've said, that tends to spread to the rest of the show. Also, I begin picking tracks for the best of 2025. Good lord, how is it only 4 weeks until I have to get the show ready!

Neuroklast - Succubus (feat. Cassiopeja)
Deadly Injection - Religion (Destroy Me Again)
Vexillary - Kill Shot
EgoAmp - Insanity (Rob Dust feat. Scheuber)
Audiocall - Sparks (Steril feat. Arc Morten)
Dawn Of Ashes - Throne of Misanthropy (C-Lekktor)
Dunkelsucht - Escalate
Crushing State - Inner Anarchy (Solar Fake)

RSA December 1st 2025

This weekend I get to play SysAdmin as my homelab (which stores all of my RSA material) had a disk failure in one of my servers. It's all parity protected, but I'm spending a good 20 hours moving data off another disk that I'm kinda suspicious of. If anyone wants to donate a stack of 16TB SATA drives to me, I wouldn't say no at this point. But because I have lost data in the distant past, I've already learned my lesson. But this doesn't directly affect RSA at all, as we've got a great show for everyone. A higher tempo than usual, but the first track I selected was 150 bpm(!), that sets the tone for the rest of the show!

Zanias - Human
Prometheus Flame - March On Blaze
Vexillary - Kill Shot
Seelennacht - Grey Apartment Show
Faderhead - Cold Chrome
Exsequor - Asymmetric War
Phaser One - Rise From Within (Larcon)
DSTRTD_SGNL - Zick Zack

RSA November 24th 2025

Things are more or less back to normal around here, as we prepare for the onset of Winter in Canada. This week I do put some emphasis on what the heck we're going to do about next years membership drive. I'm really looking for your feedback on what you'd like to receive in return for donations. I'm looking at Enamel pins (much like the Sanctuary pins that are on my "battle jacket"). Sadly the patches we did prior to the pandemic are insanely expensive now. If you have one, it's a collectiors item! THis wek we also expanded to 9 songs instead of the usual 8. In the new world of more singles than full length albums, we'll have to adapt and try to keep the quantity as high as the quality. :)

XPQ-21 - Dance With The Devil
Elektrostaub - Too Far From The Pack (Salva Maine)
Aesthetic Perfection - We Bring The Beat
Absurd Minds - Fractured (Autodafeh)
Data Kino - Rock It Again
Komission Z80 - Choose (Ruined Conflict)
Destroy Me Again - The Shards
Extize - Cyberghost
Audiocall - Retailers! (Single)

RSA November 17th 2025

I apologize for missing last week, but apparently if you're unable to eat solid food for several days the pounds just melt away! I have some work to do on my health, but the work will be done. One thing that I forgot to mention in this weeks show is that this week we have Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans day in the USA. Having stood on Tower bridge in London, and the docks in Hamburg I'm just glad that the idea of bombing either city now is such an inconceivable thing. Hamburg was also a significant visit for me because my Grandfather was a part of Operation Gomorrah. 

The first track is also dedicated to the people at ICE.

Front Line Assembly - Vigilante
Project Pitchfork - Memento Mori
Dead Lights - Killing Time
DSTRTD_SGNL - The Fool
I Ya Toyah - Denial (Aesthetic Perfection)

All The Ashes - Orbit

RSA November 10th 2025

My favourite time of the year. When the leaves are changing, the temperature drops a bit so we need a light jacket. Might be time to pull out my 90s battle jacket. Maybe on Saturday Nov 1 when I DJ at Ground Control. Maybe. This week we only make a passing mention of AI. I swear. But we did get a response from Bandcamp, so the gears are moving. Remember folks, Bandcamp > Spotify.

Miss Construction - Spiel Mit Mir
FragileChild - Escape '21 (Legacy Edit)
Kartagon - Space (Frozen Plasma)
Analog 80 - The Trap
Fictional - Dreaming (Nicky Schulschenk)

RSA October 27th 2025

So all of the Yanks are out protesting today (NO MORE KINGS), Europe is pre-drinking, and the west coast is just getting through brunch. Sounds like a perfect time to drop this weeks RSA! We delve ever so slighly into the ethics of using AI and what its place might be in music production. This also includes a snippet of an AI song that one of our long term listeners has been noodling with. Its quite eye opening. But the most important part of all is getting some great new music out to everyone!

Teknovore x Grabyourface - Autonomy
LPV - Nukleus
Lights Of Euphoria - Darkest Addiction
BlakLight - Leave A Light On (Axe)

RSA October 20th 2025

Getting the show up early for everyone as this is the Canadian thanksgiving day weekend. So I'll be extra busy as this is usually the last time I see my folks until they venture back to (gulp) Florida. This year I'm making the turkey. We do talk a little about AI music again this week, and I'm going to talk again a bit more next week. The music is the priority, but if I can slip a couple of minutes of commentary in, I will.

RSA October 13th 2025

A quick heads up that I'm already hard at work on next weeks show. I'm going to be away most of next weekend, so I'm trying to get everything done ahead of time. Fingers crossed that I can get everything done on time (and its looking good) and I can just get home on Sunday evening and hit "Publish". Its been a good week though, having the extra time to myself meant I could listen to more music. While I can do that while working, I'll "lose" time where my attention is 100% on work, and then have to figure out how far back to go to restart. I just wish the weather had been better. I quite enjoy sitting on my balcony with my headphones. Still too windy. Still too rainy. 

Lucifer's Aid - Coming Back
Aesthetische - Selling Fear
KY - Off My Meds
Exsequor - Forged In Fire
eXcubitors - Burning Bridges
Aesthetic Perfection - Architecht
Die Sexual - Pulse (Hexmaschine)
Formato Negativo - Judgement Day (Eleven-FX)
