Wow, this new years was completely different, it sure put a spin on things in a real positive way!
Having my kids throughout the journey taught me alot about myself and of course them. Watching their lil personalities creep out and grow in such a space was challenging but rewarding. You definitely don't get this from any ordinary camping holiday experiance 😉
AUM New Years Festival, John Paul Moss, you and the team are somthing special!
Words cant explain how humbled and grateful the boys and myself are for being apart of that special NY send 🚀
The organisation, land and spaces built was beautiful and impressive to whitness.
So cool to see all the different crews add their creative touch to each zone.
I look forward to seeing you're progression 💙
To the Hill Stage family, Science of Sound NZ and Sharkra
Thank you for all you're efforts, energy and love you poured into the build, it all came together as it should, and we smashed it like a well built team. The memories and friendships made, are priceless and will trickle onto no doubt bigger things.
Shout out to AUDIO ART for you're amazing OPUS Rig. You're team with set up and pack down, not to mention the audio precision makes the sharing of Sound next level !
To my family camp, Owen Braddock and Emily Tegan, Thank you for being that power unit and grounding force for the boys and myself!
I couldn't have done this journey with out you guys, and I'm forever greatful to have had you're support, help, structure and love throughout the whole festival.
For the music, I'm super stocked with the set I threw down at the Hill Stage, 4.30pm on the 1st.
It was a juicy deep, dark and progressive, full of emotion as I unpacked the last couple of months through sound.
I'm grateful for everyone that showed up, listened and felt that afternoon.
It was super special to have the kids up on stage for a brief moment in time, experiencing the sound in that special space.
They will no doubt treasure those memories for years to come 😊
If you missed it, I'll be posting that set up in the near future 😎
For my fellow producers and Djs. Under the circumstances, I only briefly made it around to hear bits and bobs of sets around the place, but from what I did hear, it was all high spec.
I'm stoked to have reconnected with some of my old connections and to also make some new ones.
All the yarns and shares are so motivating 🤌
Lastly, this new years was good alignment with some firm realisations about where I'm heading.
I'm excited for the future, with some sweet goals to hit.
As usual i'm pretty average with the taking pictures part, but here are are couple to cement the event 👌
Feel free to flick me some through if you got any.
Much love and happy new year to you all 💙
