It's the last week of the year 2015! & a lot of crazy things have happened this year! As I mentioned last week I started the year in Marion Bay, Tasmania surrounded by a few friends boogie-ing to Empire of the Sun. We roadtripped from the North to the South & back; there was fireworks, laughter, bendy roads, tall trees & most of all good company! We even bought a highland cow! & it was at that point that I knew this year was going to be something extra magical.
Being quite a very positive individual, once again I promised myself to make the most out of anything & everything. Once I was back in Sydney I continued studying my degree & saving up my pennies. I took a short trip to Melbourne not soon after my birthday & in August I was lucky to travel to Toronto, Canada to meet my bestie Sherri. With only our luggage & a chevy van we roadtripped all the way around the U.S to Seattle. I also got myself a tattoo to remind myself to always look ahead, roll with the punches & take things in my stride.
For a overall review music wise of my year, please find below my top artist for 2015!

To begin the grand New Year ahead, please wrap your ears around one of my favourite D&B songs!
Sub Focus (Nick Douwma) is an English electronic music producer. In 2013, "Endorphins" featuring Alex Clare was released continuing Sub Focus's recent chart success. This track itself peaked him to #10 in the UK Singles Chart. There's something very uplifting about this track & it always seems to give me a sense of hope & new beginning.
"Every breath I take is heavy with the thought of you The moment I awake I'm chasing signs Never give up, I never give up It's never enough, it's never enough You're not the one that's scared that the sun won't shine on me I've been holding on for some kind of miracle I'll be right there if you're ever alone Holding on for some kind of miracle I'll be right there if you're ever alone"
Hope that you all have a wonderful & Happy New Year! May this upcoming year be everything you want it to be & more! Bring on 2016!
