In the world of Electronica and beat making, 2011 has been somewhat like the only bathroom at a new years eve party, often overcrowded and occasionally unpleasant. Amidst a flurry of sub par to mediocre samplers, however, a few chosen individuals have stood out. On in particular is San Fran’s Charlie Yin, better known by the rather awesome alias Giraffage (@Giraffage). Imagine Aphex Twin spliced with Fruity Pebbles left to marinate in a beautiful sunrise, and your on the right track to imagining his music.

His debut album, Comfort, is full of self-produced, mind-bending, brain-melting gems and is now available for download via his Bandcamp page. If you like your beats fun, energetic and coated in a hazy, dreamy glaze, then Giraffage is definetly your cup of tea!
