The xx – Hot like Fire
Fire is definitely hot, The xx got that much right. Well, actually, they got more than that right because, as expected, this Aaliyah cover is a charming track from the London trio. This song is more mellow than a firecracker, think along the lines of gentle smouldering coals.
Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
Imagine what the great Johnny Cash would make of the popular drinking game which shares its name with this song? Food for thought. But seriously, this track’s nearly fifty years old, and you’d be hard pushed to find someone who doesn’t know these lyrics.
Busta Rhymes – Fire It Up
It’s never made exactly clear who, what or indeed, why Busta wants to ‘fire it up’, but he’s certainly very serious about it. And who would argue with him? Exactly. Lets just take his word for it and do what the nice man says.
Magnetic Man ft. Ms Dynamite – Fire
Ms Dynamite rates relatively high on the all time list of cool female singers, so if she tells you to play with fire, you’re probably going to play with fire, no questions asked. The rolling bass could only ever be made by Benga, Skream and Artwork and as ever, Dynamite’s fiery rap compliments it perfectly.
SBTRKT-Wildfire
For a track with vocals from Little Dragon, it seems appropriate that fire is involved. As for the wild part, SBTRKT always know how to spark up a good night and continue to sell out wherever they go. Overall, Wildfire, remains a firm favourite among on the club scene.
