Luca Le Bleu Reworked Arthur Browns 60s Psychedelic Anthem “Fire”

In the late sixties, a young experimental performer formed called Arthur sang “I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you… Fire!” at the start of “Fire”, and his performance of the song on UK TV show Top Of The Pops, complete with burning helmet, remains one of the most iconic and out-there No.1 performances of all time. Now Fifty-five years later, a young experimental producer named Luca recorded a tech-house track with his rapper pal, WasionKey. Sensing it needed a sample to lift it, he reached for a snippet of ‘Fire’ by The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown and reached out to Brown himself on social media, to see what he thought of it.

Brown, sensing the enthusiasm and ambition of young master Luca, not only granted clearance for the “Fire” sample to Luca’s “New Spice” track, but began to mentor Luca and take him on tour with him to play decks and keys. What a ledge! Despite being well into his eighties now, Arthur still performs regularly and is clearly motivated by helping the next generation of musical minds to break through as well.

“New Spice (Fire)” is now about to drop on Jack Said What, complete with a big room remix by dharkfunkh. Luca’s original track with WasionKey’s rhymes bringing new flavas and spice is lifted by the “Fire” sample when it hits, while dharkfunkh pours kerosene on it in his rework, teasing the flames upwards with big beats and burning bassline undertow in order to trigger dancefloor eruption. One of these missives can’t fail to set your dancefloor alight if dropped at the right moment. Burnin’ up. “New Spice (Fire)” is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
