    How It Was Made: Raphi – Giving U (Spinnin’ Records + House)
    Raphi’s (@Raphimusic) second solo release also happens to be the one that set everything in motion. While “Mine Forever” introduced this new chapter, “Giving U” was the record that defined what she wanted the project to become.

Clocking in at 125 BPM in B minor, the remix sits in that late-night lane where melody and pacing matter as much as impact. It is the kind of record that makes sense inside a set when the goal is not simply to lift the room, but to add a wider sense of direction.That idea of
