Today's obsession comes courtesy of Sydney's The Gripp. Taking the hot as all hell track, New People in Town, from Italy's Amari, this new producer swooped right into a beastly opening in my heart. This goes on repeat. All day long. Oh...you can grab it for free below too.

Quick and brief again today. Busy this morning doing a slew of rad things, so most pieces (I believe) will take place post-lunchtime. But who really knows.
