Thus far, San Francisco’s GIRAFFAGE has remixed Mapei, Tinashe, and Janet Jackson, but Charlie Yin’s makeover of R. Kelly’s “Ignition” solidifies his place as a producer. Not only does the cut prove he really does have a fetish for R&B but it takes the original recording to a new standard, cosigning starry-eyed shifts and lush trap outs. The remix could definitely use some bars from Danny Brown or 100s but it nails on it right on the head – for both you and your boo.
Giraffage’s “expansive new EP” is scheduled to drop later this year via the Brooklyn-based Fool’s Gold
