There's a story behind this photograph.

When I started out as a DJ back in 2012, @aboveandbeyond
is the act I have the major influence from building my warming up DJ sound and mixes I have out today. My naive dream then was to be their opening act everytime they touch down Malaysia, but I never had that chance to do so.
.
In 2015, I was VJing for their event in KL Live, so happened @paavoab and I was setting up the visuals for the stage, gotten to know him and with such enthusiasm, I told him that some day, it would be an honor to be opening up the night for you guys.
.
Years has passed since then and here I am, opening for them twice here in Asia. A joy to reach out to @paavoab once again in @omniabali and @jonogrant gave the big thumbs-up for my opening set and we spoke briefly about it. Knowing he isn't a easy person to impress when it comes to trance music, I am really so happy that he took the attention to the details as much as I am too on my warm-up set. To me, the two occasions are my best and most honorable "push the button" moments for me.
.
Do not not dream, work at it and believe in it 200%. Be unique in your craft, don't be everyone else but yourself. Being positive despite the many criticism and negativity, what I believe most is that the dancefloor is for you to dance and be free. Let the music flow through a journey for you, never neglect the power of a simple music note.

This picture reminds me of their track My Own Hymn. A picture like these speaks a thousand words for me. Thank you @aboveandbeyond
🙏

"In the confines of a photograph
Lives a child who once was me
Ooh, do you see?
I still see through those eyes
Why did you choose to believe bare-faced lies
And let the troubles of others darken your skies?"
