Champagne Drip Drops Mind-Melting EP “Champagne Trip”
Melodic bass star Champagne Drip is looking to keep the ball rolling in 2021 with his brand new Champagne Trip EP, released today by Wakaan. Although Champagne Drip is known for his otherworldly production, Champagne Trip is his heaviest collection of tunes yet. His unique sound is embodied beautifully throughout, though only the first single “In My Dreamz” features his usual mind-melting soundscapes. The rest of the record embraces a relentless sound with a dose of heavy, bone-shattering bass. “Acid Drop” is particularly ruthless, opening with ominous synths that quickly devolve into an immaculately wobbly drop. “Initiate” brings similar energy, but it isn’t quite as devastating. Its fluttery elements complement the hard-h...

Wasn’t that funny? And they don’t even know the joke yet. Ok, this is called ‘Absurd,’” Rose quipped at the show. The group teased its existence on social media earlier in the ...
