The fourth installment of the legendary Marulasoulfood series comes from Madrid-based Briton Roger ‘Chip’ Wickham, one third of Latin groovers Malena. “Feelin’ Alright” is a rare groove stomper featuring Emma Ellis on the mic, Dominic Buckley on drums, Dan ‘Bootsy’ Broad on guitar, Morgan Pugh on bass and piano and of course the man himself on sax and flute.
Some background info:
Chip Wickham has worked as a producer in Manchester’s infamous Moolah Rouge Studios and has written, produced and re-mixed for labels such as Freestyle, Kingstreet, Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Mr Bongo, Universal, Sony and Soulfuric. His sax and flute credits include Nightmares on Wax, The New Mastersounds, Aim, Rae & Christian, Roy Ayres, Badly Drawn Boy, Jimpster, Grupo X, The Resin Dogs, The Sweet Vandals and the soundtrack to the Guy Ritchie movie “Snatch”.
As of late he has been mostly keeping himself busy with Malena (with Dan Broad and Susana Montero aka Malena, on Freestyle Records) and his solo work.
