Cosmobox Direct Downloadshe Sofrito Super Singles series is on the cusp of double figures and this offering from collective main man Frankie Francis and the excellent Simbad might just be their best work so far. As ever with Sofrito, there’s a sense of music education that comes with this record as the label shines the light on Gwo Ka – the folkloric rhythm of Guadeloupe – and one of its greatest voices in Esnard Boisdur. The focus here is Bosidur’s 1991 track “Soufwans” (which translates as Sufferance for those not au fait with Guadeloupian) which in the hands of Francis and Simbad is flipped into a hypnotic house production replete with deep bassline and some killer synths. The accompanying dub mix will probably appeal to the deeper house selectors too as there’s some killer drum programming on that one.
