The Game-Changing Benefits of AIOps for Modern Mainframe Operations

Time for some Scott Brown classics this week, to say this guy is a legend is an understatement, he basically created the bouncy techno scene and kept the hardcore scene alive in the late nineties/early 2000's, he is my fav rave artist of all time and is responsible for an unbelievable amount of amazing tracks, I did an Evolution Records mix many years ago but thought an update was needed, this time just my favourite tracks from all his labels, its not perfect (I forgot to include Check Da Bass and Basic Nature) but it gives you a rough idea of how many bangers this guy made, respect. I decided to split the mix into 2 parts because the mix was 2 and a half hours long and it seemed like a natural split with the change in style in 97, anyway, enjoy !

[DQX199] Tyfon & Medtraxx - Mainframe

[Verse]
Shadows twist where whispers grow
Ancient halls where secrets flow
Marble floors and serpent's gaze
Mystery cloaked in endless haze

[Chorus]
Chambers calling hear the sound
Lost in echoes underground
Unlock the doors the truth awaits
Through the dark we'll tempt our fates

[Verse 2]
Golden light through cracks will gleam
Shattered walls that hold a dream
Every corner holds a key
To a world we’re meant to see

[Chorus]
Chambers calling hear the sound
Lost in echoes underground
Unlock the doors the truth awaits
Through the dark we'll tempt our fates

[Bridge]
Snakes are coiled but we won’t break
Fear is fire we’ll overtake
Rise from depths where shadows meet
Secrets dance beneath our feet

[Chorus]
Chambers calling hear the sound
Lost in echoes underground
Unlock the doors the truth awaits
Through the dark we'll tempt our fates

Chamber Of Secrets

Returning with his previous single release. Ab:Ru re-releases Magellanic to implement the cosmic journey through the Magellanic Cloud within the MainFrame circuitry. This is a re-rendered finalization including Ivan Ab:Ru on the vocals.

Lyrics:
They say life, it might be about patience,
it seems we acted too fast,
without further hesitation,
we got driven off track,
let's get this off our backs,
if we could just decide to put it all aside,
we're going on this trip now.

Just take my hand,
we're in for a cosmic ride,
through the Magellanic Cloud.

Just take my hand
we'll life off on your command.
Through the Magellanic Cloud.

We shouldn't have to give in to all this madness,
let's just go out there, and break these boundaries,
make them all stop and stare,
say what they say.
Who cares?

HIT EM WITH THE CLASSIC!

Just take my hand,
we're in for a cosmic ride,
through the Magellanic Cloud.

Magelianic

Coming in with an underground melodic continuation of Magellanic, Ab:Ru presents Skylight. Glistening in an emotion packed musical experience. This one represents the brightness of the album serving as the brighter mid-point ballad.Ivan Ab:Ru on the vocals.

lyrics
Ohhh Ohhh, Ohhh , Ohhh,
You can see the sunshine through the skylight.

Skylight

This track cycles through the turning point climax heavier spectrum starting off with a retro bass feel and merging into a heavily curated Dubstep electronic vibe. There is another version on this tune that Ab:Ru hasn't released that includes lyricism by Ivan Ab:Ru. Before that release Ab:Ru wants to tame his audience with the instrumental.


lyrics
We Make the crowd shake!

Plain Sight

The Feeling Seeps is one of Ab:Ru most prized tunes. Bringing a powerful / Triumphant tone to finish off the MainFrame sequence. Including some of his alma mater cadences. Something his classmates will definitely identify. This tune is somewhat of a bonus track. Leaving inspiration flowing through the system.
