Twice as nice

Wait no more - right now two new Champagne Dreads tracks and videos are now available. “Todd Terry’s Mum” displays a wicked sense of humour around the sensitivity of someone not knowing who you are, and the playful “In my Bed (Placido Domingo)” isn’t quite filled with the intrigue its title might suggest but aims for some mild revenge when a certain maestro books your favourite hotel room for an extended period. The cheek of it! Listen or watch, and enjoy.

Keep watching the skies…

Music is all about sounds, but still creates images. Videos try to capture some images, but what everyone “sees” inside their head when listening is different. Champagne Dreads’ music is often described as “cinematic”, we guess because as it tells a mini story and creates its own world. With that in mind it is reassuring people enjoy our videos. Our total YouTube viewing numbers are now heading towards 1.5 million, but we still need your help - please, please subscriber to our YouTube channel and spread the word.

Music isn’t always easy to describe. Especially if it’s a little bit different. However, Clive Craske got Champagne Dreads right on the nose: “A super-smooth and spectral song, with a fine pop sensibility and deluxe production and dub sensibility. Will fit well into my radio show.” A perfect description of All About Me. Keep spreading the word….
