Pleasantly surprised to be hit with ‘Prelude’ at the end of the night. It brought me back home and reminded me of where I am and where I want to be. @aboveandbeyond always hits me in a different way every single time I see them which is why they will always be my favourite. Prelude to something more. @aboveandbeyond @jonogrant @anjunabeats #vancouver #vancity #vancityhype #vancouvering #justgoshoot #letsgosomewhere #contact #contact2015 #makecontact #bpmassive #blueprintevents #thisisblueprint #aboveandbeyond #weareallweneed #anjunabeats #abgt
