A yearly ritual where I record a set full of hope, optimism and positivity. I always look forward to this yearly set because in these sets, I usually mix tracks which I personally love and create the vibe I resonate with more. It also gives me a lot of room to explore and experiment. 

2022 has been a great year for me personally and also professionally. I am grateful for all the opportunities, good luck and support that I have received from all of you. 

Kicking off 2023 with a lot of hope and wishing all of you a lot of happiness.
