Track of the Week

Disclosure - When a Fire Starts to Burn

With all of the comment arena bickering going on about brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence's project ("They are Future Garage!" "They are Deep House!") Disclosure has perfectly slated this track, the opener to their highly anticipated debut Settle (out June 3), as a statement to end all the uncertainty. The track opens with a preacher explaining "How do you get into your zone?" and "Everyone loves to watch the fire burn." The thesis being: as long as you are feeling this shit who cares what you call it?

The preacher continues. "One thing I have learned in my life? ... Everything changes!" As if to say, the genre doesn't matter. The Deep House sound that Disclosure takes influence from doesn't discount the Future Garage feel of these jams. The world needed to be reminded not to have any preconceptions about what these guys are trying to do, and with this track they have made it perfectly clear: They just want to rock your body!

The labeling is inevitable and bound to happen. The arguments can keep spinning around. But one thing is for sure,

"When the fire starts to burn
And it starts to spread
They gonna take that shit home"
