“Did I try my hardest at any of my dreams?” (UR - Transition)
All good things must come to an end and with February we're approaching the end of the RFLXN season as well. By the end of March, a full year of reflecting back outside of the dark rooms, flashing lights and bumping Soundsystems will have allowed us all to think beyond what makes us all feel good. We understand that working on yourself never ends, however, being forced to confront what we ignore often in exchange for what’s easy and brings us joy allows us to move forward with life-long worthy learnings. In reference to Underground Resistance’s track off their 2003 release, Transition, we now enter the final phase and point ourselves in the right direction in order to make our own transition to our next theme.
