The Self (feat. Jordan Rakei)

On the back of Chip Wickham’s fabulous debut album La Sombra come two quite different but equally mouthwatering remixes of two of its tunes. On the A-side, Detroit house stalwart extraordinaire Andrés grabs ‘Red Planet’ by the ear and drags it straight to the dance floor. And he means business: no beating around the bush with intros and the like – it’s hands in the air and go from start to finish. Relentless.
The other A side, A.K.A. AA side, is for L.A.’s ambassador of avant-garde and spiritual music Carlos Niño. Rather than remixing the album’s title track in the strict sense of the word, his ‘Spaceways Radio Edit’ adds a subtle and otherworldly flavour to it, extending the mix with some gorgeous ambient washes.
La Sombra (Lovemonk, January 2017) is Chip Wickham’s first album after a 25-year career touring, recording and experimenting across three decades of jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, Latin and electronica. It’s a monumental record for Chip as it symbolises the moment he stepped out into the light as a director of his creations with freedom to explore his roots, express and tell his version of jazz, and pay testament to his heroes Roland Kirk, Yuseef Lateef & Harold McNair.

Chip Wickham – La Sombra (Spaceways Radio Edit + Additions By Carlos Niño)

The spiritual jazz of flautist and saxophonist @chip-wickham gets stripped back Detroit style. A fit so natural, it's hard to distinguish from Andrés' original productions. Out on @lovemonk.
