No strangers to cooking up copious amounts of heat in the beat kitchen, Neil Berry and Sam Pool, aka LUZCID and Champagne Drip, are true veterans of the bass community. Finding their niche among the rest of the immensely talented Wakaan roster, they’ve helped curate a place to expand upon their already massive individualistic styles while also allowing for collaborations with fellow geniuses of the field. Their latest collaboration ‘Double Vision’ is the namesake track for their nationwide co-headlining tour; a track so wild vivid hallucinations have been known to occur.
When dealing with collaborations, I find tracks immensely more rewarding when you can distinctly hear both artists included throughout the piece. ‘Double Vision’ is a masterful example of that, as from the very beginning you get this sense of back and forth between them, the opening being this beautiful airy “I’m floating in outer space” type vibe which is classic Luzcid, but then when it builds you get those quick wubs that are so characteristic of Champagne Drip. Each drop is a tremendous melding of their personas, with immaculate sound design and immensely satisfying kicks that you’ll feel in your chest on a large sound system. It’s easy to get lost in the presence of this track, as it leaves you in this almost trance-like state of unbeknownst appreciation for the brain massage you’re currently receiving.
If you judge a tour by the artists’ namesake track, then this one is easily one you shouldn’t miss. Make sure to catch Luzcid and Champagne Drip on their nationwide tour, and check out ‘Double Vision’ for yourself below!
