Description:
“Flight To Cuba / Soul On Ice” by Fire is a fiercely rhythmic 1976 funk 7″ packed with driving percussion, choppy guitars, and brassy stabs that typify the golden era of independent funk. “Flight To Cuba” is a percussive instrumental with Latin overtones and cinematic flair, while “Soul On Ice” leans on a heavy bassline and wah-driven groove that feels tailor-made for breakbeat sampling.
Although relatively obscure on release, this single became a sought-after item in the rare-groove scene, often championed by DJs for its explosive energy and raw, horn-driven funk sound.
