'Tis the season to give thanks and express gratitude towards those who make a positive impact on your life. After the battles our world has faced this past year, it's easy to get caught up in the moment. With Thanksgiving this week, we should take the time to reflect and show appreciation for what's in our lives.
As music lovers, I'm sure we can all be thankful for the place we call home, the dance music community. So we thought it'd be nice to ask the people who dedicate their lives to making the music that unites us all.

"I am forever thankful for music, thanks for always clearing my head, healing my heart and lifting my spirits. I'm thankful for my team who has aided me on my journey, I'm thankful for the "Drops," the "classics," and my role models. I'm thankful for all of those who said no to me forcing me to do better, I'm thankful for the "next record." I'm thankful for the memories, the moments and the journey, because sometimes it takes a long time to sound like yourself."

"I am thankful for my brother (Dack Janiels) being in the same industry as I am and that I get to make music, play shows, and work beside him on our brand, 40oz Cult. COVID lockdown was extremely difficult for all of us so knowing that I had family I could lean on for support and understanding during that time was truly special."

"This is a great opportunity for me to say that I am thankful to have made a living from fulfilling my passion for the past 20 years or so. I have traveled the world, played at the most prestigious venues and festivals, and met so many amazing and inspiring people throughout my journey. I am also thankful to have been part of a movement that grew even bigger than I ever could have imagined. That's what music is all about for me: gathering people together and forgetting about our problems. Lastly, I am thankful to be surrounded by loving friends and family and that everyone is staying healthy!"
