Melt by Liquid Stranger, Champagne Drip

When Liquid Stranger and Champagne Drip step into a studio together, the result is anything but ordinary. In an electrifying meeting of minds, the two electronic alchemists unveil ‘Melt,’ a collaborative single that encapsulates their deep-rooted artistic connection and relentless pursuit of audio innovation. As a cornerstone on WAKAAN – Liquid Stranger’s flagship label and one Champagne Drip has long called home – Melt delivers a psytrance-inspired intensity that delves into the outer edges of bass music.

Currently commanding stages across North America, both artists are in the midst of landmark years in their careers. Following a string of impactful releases building upon his legacy of musical evolution, including Fire, Hard, and Hit the Wax, Liquid Stranger’s ‘Revolution’ tour has been a showcase of his limitless creativity; a unique experience and lineup curated for each stop. Meanwhile, Champagne Drip’s ‘Nimbus’ tour continues to build momentum, propelled by the success of his most recent Nimbus EP.

Now, their voyages converge on Melt – a track that channels their individual sounds into something immersive and explosive. Thriving on contrast and infused with psychedelic undertones, the single delivers a shapeshifting barrage of heavy-hitting snares and basslines, unleashing a mind-bending neuro drop that deems impossible to define under conventional genres.

As Melt joins the WAKAAN discography, it lands during a monumental year for the label. 2025 marking the 10-year anniversary of WAKAAN, the record label continues to champion both the scene’s trailblazers alongside fresh new talent, each release carrying undeniable weight and value. Under Liquid Stranger’s visionary leadership, this year will also signal the 5-year anniversary of WAKAAN Music Festival, a now-staple gathering for fans of experimental bass music.

Melt is a fitting addition to this milestone year, showcasing the collaborative spirit that defines the WAKAAN movement. Set to be a standout release in each of their catalogs, Melt is slated for release across all major streaming platforms this Tuesday, March 25.
