Who the Fuck is Champagne Drip and Why is this Mix So Awesome?

Most of the tropical stuff that gets sent our way only seems palatable if you shave your chest or something. So when The Well turned us on to this mix by the mysterious Champagne Drip, we were stoked to find some real umph amongst all the the palm trees and good vibes.

The internet's been trying to figure out who this Champagne Drip character is. We know it's someone notable, we just don't know who. Some people say it's a collaborative effort between Flume and the spirit of the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Other people say it's who Deadmau5 turns into when he takes Zoloft.

What we do know is that Drippy's debut album, titled Radio Bikini, is gonna drop on Mad Decent at the end of the month, at which point the mystery will hopefully unravel. Maybe the title suggests it's a bikini clad model from the South Pacific? We'd say that's likely…
