More heavy Tropical dancefloor sounds from Sofrito! Two raw slabs of Afro rhythms re-edited by Frankie Francis (Sofrito) and Simbad (Raw Fusion/Brownswood). The second in the Sofrito Super Singles series uncovers sounds from Benin City in western Nigeria. A. Sir Victor Uwaifo 'Ohue' - Frankie Francis & Simbad Edit B. Sonny Okosun 'Odenigbo' - Frankie Francis & Simbad Edit Victor Uwaifo's early 80's psychedelic masterpiece 'Ohue' is brought down to the bare bones to produce a seriously heavy dancefloor beast - loping synths, deep bass and a heavy beat combine to produce a track that takes in dubby disco and pure Nigerian sounds and defies categorization... Sonny Okosun's afrobeat classic 'Odenigbo' is smartened up for the dancefloor into a take-no-prisoners club workout for the Tropical DJs.
