1. For the heavy metal band started by the former Iron Maiden singer, see Blaze Bayley. Blaze (sometimes written as B L A Z E for disambiguation) was the former name of Bayley's solo project until 2007.
2. Blaze (New Jersey, USA), a house production team from 1984 onwards.
It was formed by Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge, and Chris Herbert, when Herbert introduced Milan, a member of his church choir, to Hedge, his childhood friend. Ironically, Herbert was the one who left the group in 1991, leaving Milan and Hedge to keep working together.
The group's output consists mainly of house-music tracks with heavy gospel, soul and afrobeat influences (sometimes referred to as gospel house). When the group started, Herbert was the singer, with Milan playing the piano, and Hedge on production. After Herbert left, both Hedge and Milan started to share production duties, vocals, and playing most of the instruments of the group's tracks and albums. The group achieved notoriety with its remix of Lisa Stansfield's "People Hold On" in 1989, after signing with the Motown/MCA Records.
Blaze released its debut album, 25 Years Later, in 1990, after which Herbert decided to move to a more R&B-oriented career, while the two remaining members invested in the emerging club culture, opening a nightclub called Shelter. In 1994, the group scored its first big international production success with De'Lacy's "Hideaway," which was later remixed by Deep Dish.
Since then, Blaze released three more albums, alongside a few scattered compilations of earlier productions and works and countless singles. The group also began working with other well-known names such as "Little" Louie Vega, Barbara Tucker, Jody Watley, and Full Intention. It is best known to modern audiences by its singles featuring Palmer Brown on vocals, the oft-remixed "My Beat," and the tribute anthem "I Remember House." Blaze's most recent album, released in 2005, is a mix compilation title called Found Love.
3. Blaze, a Japanese hard rock band that first premiered in 1975.
The band consists of Ike (vocals), Shige (guitar), Nobu (keyboard), Sam (drums), & Jack (bass). The band is currently known by Yu-Gi-Oh! fans for their song "Fire" which was used as the closing theme for the Japanese release of the Yu-Gi-Oh! film Pyramid of Light.

Blaze's song "Do You Remember House" is a tribute to the origins of house music. The lyrics describe a time when house music was not just a genre of music, but a feeling, a vibe, and a lifestyle. The song takes the listener on a journey through the history of house music, from its roots as soul music and R&B to its evolution into disco, techno, and beyond.
The lyrics remind us of a time when everyone knew the lyrics to house songs and when house was about love and community, not just about making money. The song also recalls the days when house music was made by artists, songwriters, and personalities, not just DJs. The lyrics suggest that house music has lost some of its soul and spirit as it has become more commercialized and mainstream.
The repetition of the phrase "I remember house" throughout the song serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the history of house music and paying homage to its roots. The song is a call to action for house music lovers to remember where the genre came from and to keep the spirit and vibe of house alive.
