We didn’t need Womex to tell us that Soundways is one of the best labels around, for the past few years everything they’ve released has been pure fire (well done for winning the award by the way).

They’re showing no signs of slowing down with the recent announcement that they’re soon to reissue Eddie Hooper’s Guyananese spaced out disco classic “Pass It On”.

On a similar note, Strut are putting out a mix of banging tropical jams compiled by Hugo Mendez and Frankie Francis of Sofrito. Hugo compiled my favourite Soundways comp of them all Tumbele Biguine, Afro & Latin sounds from the French Caribbean so you know it’s going to be awesome.

Check this promo mix Mendez did for the Tumbele comp, cop a cheeky mp3 taster below, go and buy the album and then wait until January for the Sofrito mix to drop.
