Ferry Corsten featuring Simon LeBon - "Fire"
The synths pulse like they were stolen from a Stevie Nicks '80s fire sale ("Stand Back," specifically) while Corsten keeps the tempo up and loops a couple lines from the best song off the best Duran Duran album you don't know (that'd be "Serious," off 1990's Liberty, which you should really check out). Yes, it's that ol' "loop-slash-interpolate a pop hit (usually a bigger one than this) and throw a beat behind it" school of contempo dance music, but this time it works.
