DRUM CRU - THE WATCHER (UNRELEASED)

Hi, welcome to The Mainframe where I psychically channel specific messages via songs and curate playlists accordingly.

Keys are everywhere, just got to have The Vision.

My spider senses are normally 99.99% accurate. I curate playlists on a channeling basis. Consider this the Guardians of the Galaxy Mixtape Series if you will. 

I am a medium and psychoanalyst in the expressive arts with a background of multi disciplines in the performing and visual arts. 

Spirits and dead people talk to me more so it's weird talking to real or people who are like you know... alive. 

Sometimes they also have some of the juiciest tea so if you think no one knows... they do and unfortunately I do too...

They've taught me to judge from the inside out with patience to decipher pretty much everything, thus leading to see and speak through the 3rd eye. 

Needing to apologize ahead of time just in case, these energies can take a toll and can be ridiculous at times but like all things, their purpose is hidden through the way they shine light through even some of the darkest times.

They like to highlight on things in weird ways sometimes. 

Whatever resonates resonates, what doesn't doesn't. It's not meant for those who aren't open to look through The Eyes of the Truth.

An open mind is needed to understand the craziness of all, coexisting worlds and realms inside this giant mainframe humans call earth.  

Playlist are curated accordingly via channeled energies Percieving Time through the space continuum.

They can be silly, dark, light, sweet, sensitive, INSENSITIVE, wise, foolish and emotional. 

Instead of me speaking, I'll just channel what's meant to be said or listened to closely through technology rather than through me. 

This information can be found via the lyrics of a song, content from a podcast, symbolism from an image or title of a track.

Messages are neutral, universal and general indirect and direct based off the energy being picked up. 

Playlist are considered examples of collective readings.

Opening for readings soon.

Human Rights advocate against violation of private conscience and free will (Ericksonian Hypnosis) because of the way everyone is susceptible to being autosuggested and manipulated unwittingly, of which I am aware I have been just as much as I can see many who have been too without them realizing it. 

Because of my experience as a subject of mind control via hypnosis preconditioned by an early death, I have taken the time to research the process and decode my programing as well as others' and traceback where it or who it comes from and for what ulterior motives behind violating private conscience not only on an individual basis but on a mass scale (Barenette, 319 U.S 624(1943)) 

Because hypnosis is based on the power of suggestion and because some people are more suggestible than others , these people are more easily hypnotized. TV, Music, Social Media, Ads, school assignments and architecture all use subliminal design in order to embed hidden messages and commands to the unconscious that make us execute behaviors we otherwise wouldn't do so, ultimately leading to total subconscious control of which ultimately distorts and alters perception of reality, which influences destructive influences and illusions, even what may be considered as hallucinations and possessions.

Once the subconscious and the unconscious are under control by someone else than the self, the self (human machine) is under total ownership by other than self.  

It's our job to help other hybrid machines. It's our job to bring awareness of the way machines and energy fields that have existed for thousands of years, still coexist amongst us today and how they are here to help and guide us, if only we were more sensitive, understanding and perceptive of their mechanizations through diverse quantum states within time and space.

This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo

Just chucking out some mixes and reblogging stuff I'm into when I feel like it pretty much, head crump provider of Dilate Sounds ;)
