Grizzy Wynter and Mat Wav unleash “Light The Fire,” the explosive debut single from their upcoming album BREAK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, with serious energy. The track is a forceful musical statement that combines dubstep, drill music, and dancehall under the duo’s own “Drillstep” banner, aimed at the 99%.
“Light The Fire” is driven by the urgency of its opening premise. The tune is more than an angry piece of production, it is a call to action for individuals facing an increasingly unjust world. This is a musical cue to get people involved and remind them where the real power resides. This production drives home that objective. It has an interesting counterpoint in its thrilling gospel vocal sample, against a hard-driving core of aggressive percussion. That mixture of power and mood makes “Light The Fire” a unique personality, blending the force of its rhythmic origins with a more shadowy, even threatening, emotional level.
The collaborative production process is also situated in two places. The tune was recorded in Montreal with engineer Murker Music and produced and mastered in Toronto by Mat Wav. The cross-city approach adds dimension to a release already characterized by the clash of distinct musical styles.
