Since winning various accolades and awards after his ender in last years MDPeople release, We’re People Too, Austin’s become kind of the talk about town. No one really knew who he was prior to that, even though he’d already laid down solid parts with the NCP crew, and in Lukas Huffman’s ir77. So don’t think we’re jumping on any sort of bandwagon here, cause we’ve been down. And he’s not even that cool anyway, its not like he can do triple backflips or anything.
