Mixtape: Volume One LP by Champagne Bubblebath - Coke Bottle Clear Variant [Vinyl 12" LP]

Champagne Bubblebath’s studio debut is an inspired exploration that splits the difference between psychedelic garage funk and golden-era instrumental hip-hop. Polyrhythmics’ drummer Grant Schroff dreamt up this beat tape project to pass time during the pandemic. Eventually he drafted longtime bandmates Ben Bloom (guitar) and Jason Gray (bass), along with Seattle’s six-string maestro Jimmy James (True Loves, Parlor Greens) to bring his smoked-out vision  to fruition. In March of 2026, the quartet is set to unfurl an ambitious, swaggering ten-track opening salvo. Mixtape: Volume One is a fantastic voyage from the annals of funkafied late-’60s rare-groove into mid-’90s crate-digger backpack boom-bap. Champagne Bubblebath delivers the goods, a medicinal expression session that’s sure to move the crowd.
