Frank Ocean - Pyramids (Chi Duly Remix) [DWNLD]

Rising producer, Chi Duly, puts an uptempo spin on Frank Ocean's standout single, "Pyramids".

" When I remix something I visualize a place the song needs to go. Naturally the place for this song would be a trendy night club filled with mummies and Egyptians in golden robes inside of a pyramid floating in the Red Sea. They would most likely be drinking wine, dancing and conversing about a general hatred for Brendan Fraiser. I mean I'd be defending him though. Sometimes people tend to forget about a cinematic achievement called Encino Man. Anyways pyramids are crazy. "                                          - Chi Duly
