Hi guys! Last year I did a post for the new year, so I thought I should do one this year! I'm only nine days late!

Despite the fact that 2016 was horrible for other people, it was actually kind of great for Evilgrapez (the project, not me. I've always been horrible). A lot happened! The first of which would be that I joined a record label, Ocular Sounds. Sellou-

They're honestly amazing, and without them, I wouldn't have made it this far. I still have a long, long way to go, but thanks to them I can get there a little faster than if I had just been self-releasing all this time.

I made some huge milestones, like my one year anniversary. Since then my production skill has only gone up and up, and all the feedback on that song has helped me a lot. Thanks guys!

My album, Dreamscape, which I had teased a year back, finally hit pre-order, with one of my favorite tracks I've ever made. Huge step up from the previous two EPs, in my opinion.

I started doing music professionally, and became co-owner of a label with my Dad, which would be Deep River Music. To mark this occasion I released my track, Endgame, which would be the first single release on Deep River in over ten years (it existed before I joined. There's a little more information on the site). This would also mark when I teamed up with DistroKid, and started distributing my music to official stores.

I also released my collaboration with Ben Lepper, Sunlight, soon after. I'm mentioning it because I consider it one of my best songs I've ever made. It's what I've always been trying to make ever since I started music. I like it more than the whole Dreamscape EP. Oh, and speaking of which...

My album, Dreamscape, finally released, after a whole year of hard work, with it being my last release of the year. It's also on other stores, too.

That's all that happened this year, along with many other amazing things (did you know Warp Star was used a lot in Geometry Dash? Check it out!).

Anyways, here are some announcements.

I can officially confirm that Starflight V2 has begun development. So far it's turning out extremely well and I can hardly wait to show you all. It's what the original should have been. I'm not going to say much else, but I can confirm that it's a megacollab.

I can also confirm that Warp Star V2 will happen, in celebration of the Geometry Dash level.

I will also be participating in this year's Pixel Day, as well. Expect a sequel to The Plumber and The Princess!

I also opened submissions to my label, Deep River Music! If you have an unreleased song, then feel free to submit! You'll get a release on stores everywhere and it'll cost you nothing!

Here's another exciting thing. Some of you have been asking about Space Cadet V2, and whether or not it'll happen. Though it's reached one year in development now, I can confirm that it will happen, and it will happen this year, hopefully during Q1.

And in other news, I just recently released my first track of the year, Claustrophobia, to the world. Check it out!

I have several more exciting things coming this year, but yeah, that's all for now. Thanks for reading all of this, and thanks for being a part of my journey in music.

If you don't know about me, then check out my website for more information. It's a little outdated but it should be fine.

See you later!
