Going back to working from the office in a couple of weeks as a volunteer in a "pilot program". So slowly we see the first glimmers of the "new normal". Its crazy to think that its been approximately 9 weeks since this started seriously affecting Canada. As always, I hope everyone is safe and well, and that RSA helps a little with the stir crazy feelings a lot of us are dealing with!

A little bit later than "normal" but I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday so I decided I'd take a day off rather than put in a half assed effort. This week along with the pandemic we mourn the loss of Florian Schneider. It was completely coincidental that I picked the 808 Dot Pop track to follow Kraftwerk, but it shows their immense impact on pop music, both production and performance.

Another week of staying indoors, running around and pretending I'm not stir crazy. Couple that with an impromptu visit to the hospital (I'm fine) leads to RSA being a little later than I like. But its a beautiful day outside in Toronto, and I have to get my responsibilities to you taken care of before I can go outside and sit on the grass for a few minutes!

Another week of isolation bring us another week of RSA! But remember, the current pandemic situation won't last forever. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and some semblance of normality will return sooner than we think. But until then, and after then, we'll be here. Cranking out a great show for you every week, just like we have been doing for over 22 years!

We're now on the 5th week, but bellies are full, work is getting done, and RSA is a priority even now more than ever! I don't really have a way to give back other than RSA, but everyone should consider doing what I do as "therapy". Whenever I'm feeling like crap, I make a food bank donation. At least that way I can channel some negativity into something good. But we have a long way to go, and I hope this helps!

Week 4, and I think I'm slowly adjusting to the new reality. But it feels strange to be in the middle of a 4 day weekend and not be able to go out even for a bite to eat. But we all have to do our part. I'm just hoping that I'm still able to get some epic cycling done this summer. Even if I have to stay in Canada. 2021 could be the year I finally get back to Europe. But as a break from the world outside, I bring you...

We're all keeping ourselves safe? Good. After more than 3 weeks of isolation and physical distancing, I'll admit I'm going a bit squirrely. But we'll come out the other side, hopefully have learned something as individuals and societies, and I'm placing a very strong bet on a year or so of 1920's style Bacchanalia. But until then, we keep to our schedules, and I'm happy that one of my schedules is providing some entertainment for you with... Velvet May - I Won't Shed A Tear Electro Spectre - Where Two hearts Meet (Classic Club) Kontravoid - So It Seems (Fractions) Nuit Noire - Resistance Miseria Ultima - Remote Warning Chainreactor - Nothing Synapsyche - Viva Insanity (Schwarzstern) Vyrtual Zociety - Sci Fi Citizen http://synthetic.org/ https://www.instagram.com/djtodd242/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

So the motto for this week is to continue Physical Distancing whenever possible, being thankful for the people who stock our grocery shelves, and for all of the artists doing webcasts. So many people are doing great things to keep us occupied. I'm glad my tiny bit helps. It especially helps because we have great new music from great artists like... Psy'Aviah - Hold On (Metroland 12") Rotersand - Blind Vision Humans Can't Reboot - Fading (Fox on the Vox) Torul - Best Moments (Pensive Blue) Mental Exile - The Valley Of The Fallen Studio-X vs. Simon Carter - Dreamworld Reality Synthattack - Dirty Dark Electro Les Anges De La Nuit - Nouveau Detour http://synthetic.org/ https://www.instagram.com/djtodd242/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

Each week the world seems to get crazier and crazier. But the key right now is to focus on the long term, and know that it won't last forever, and grin and bear it in the short term. To help the short term along RSA is (of course) continuing as per usual, but with bonuses like the mix I put up last week on Mixcloud, and something special for next week. But as we keep on keeping on, here's... Rhys Fulber - Signal Flare Crystal Geometry - Killing Dance Sorcery Vaylon - Ghost (Personal Space) Psy'Aviah - Hold On (Unterberg 12") Elektroterapi - Maestro Humans Can't Reboot - Fading (Narconic) Antibiosis - Werewolf (Synapsyche) Kant Kino - Temptation Raw http://synthetic.org/ https://www.instagram.com/djtodd242/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa

What a crazy week it's been. Hopefully we all have time to take a break from hoarding toilet paper and canned soup to sit back, relax for a bit, and enjoy some great new music! Over the next couple of weeks I'll be posting a new mix set or two on Mixcloud so that all of us spending far too much time at home have a little something extra to pass the time. But until then we have our regularly scheduled new show for you all! https://www.mixcloud.com/djtodd242/ Studio-X vs. Simon Carter - Disconnected (Cyberpunk) Cellmod - The Machine (2019) Technolorgy - Godd Narconic - Aphelion Channel East - Save Me RROYCE - Parallel World (Solitary Experiments) Culttastic - I'm The Night Schwarzchild - Im Speigel (Desastroes) http://synthetic.org/ https://www.instagram.com/djtodd242/ https://twitter.com/djtoddrsa
