-Keep up my goal of finishing & releasing at least one track per month. (haven't released any tracks in the past month, but finished 3 so whatever)
-Get onto a decent sized blog/promo/label

I'd like to (finally) release my first track this year. Also, I want to spend much more time actually producing.
Besides that I want to improve my music theory knowledge and start learning to play piano.
Hope I'll get at least one of these done. ;D
Exploring the world of beautiful vibes. Looking for inspiration. Living for trance music. Enjoying it.

My goal is hopefully to get signed this year. In my country we dont have much support for local talent. No one here buys music so it is very difficult here.

I have made myself a year by year guide for my goals:
2016 - First song on a record label, nothing too big but nothing too small, just something that starts to gain me exposure.
2017 - Start to play a few gigs, regular release on medium sized labels, possibly try and get onto Beatport Top 100
2018 - Gain enough exposure to play several gigs & hopefully by this point be earning enough to live off my music and quit university, start to try and get released on a big well-known label.
2019 - Play a head line show, aim for Beatport Top 10, start to collaborate with big artists.
2020 - World dominance

Finish this before the end of the year, along with the 2 others songs who are supposed to make a seamless EP.

I simply want to put out quality music. The number of songs doesn't matter (although at least 4 would be nice, considering I already have 2 originals and a collab lined up for 2016 haha). I just want to make something that I can finally, truly be proud of. I've been trying to produce for the past 4-5 years and I haven't worked hard enough  - I haven't really been happy with anything i've made. I spent nearly all of 2015 slaving away, teaching myself new things with every bit of my free time, so if 2015 was my year of learning I hope 2016 is my year of doing.

On top of that, I'm going to be building an app (a unique notification app for musicians!) with a producer that I look up to, so I hope that goes smoothly and we're able to launch it in the first part of the year. Some other goals to go along with that and tie into the music would be launching a new YouTube channel, and a website for myself.

I'd like to spend the year mostly working on time management and learning music theory and skills.

I also plan on doing Madeon's 24hr EP Challenge, which if you haven't heard of it, is a challenge started by Madeon where he locks himself in a room for 24 hours and has to write an EP from scratch with three new songs that are each three minutes long. He does this annually, and I would like to do it at least once.

I'm also really excited about a collective that I've helped start, and I'm releasing an old track of mine that I finished so that I can move on to other things.

We'll see how this year goes! Good luck to everyone else and their goals!

My goal is to deepen my relationship with my music, and get better at synth programming. Those skrillex leads are so evasive. Also to meet some producer friends!
