The opening brass stabs on “Light The Fire” reference the precise intervals of Dawn Penn’s classic “No, No, No” introduction. This single from South West England-based ten-piece Dub Catalyst maintains the heavy rhythmic focus established on their debut album, Saves the World. A rolling one-drop reggae groove anchors the track, allowing space for delayed slide guitar lines and deep spring reverb tails.

Rapper JPDL drops his vocal register down to a hushed delivery that mirrors the dry cadence of early-nineties UK hip-hop. He uses the central chorus lyrics, “Its never too late to light another fire”, to frame the pursuit of new passions as a necessary defense against daily cynicism.

The band will perform this material live across the UK over the coming months, with appearances scheduled at Beat-Herder Festival 2026, Lakefest 2026, and Beautiful Days Festival 2026.
