Rhys Bobridge Takes "Hot Summer" to the World

Rhys Bobridge’s dancefloor anthem “Hot Summer” was all over radio late last year, but it’s not going to fade away just because our weather is getting colder. Rhys is taking the song global, capitalising on the warmer weather ahead in the Northern Hemisphere!

The So You Think You Can Dance runner-up has inked deals to release the party track in Germany, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and even South Africa.

“It’s so cool that ‘Hot Summer’ is going international,” Rhys told The Sunday Telegraph.

I can just tell the Europeans are going to lap up this catchy track. Congratulations to Rhys!

Rhys Turns Up The Heat with Hot Summer

We all know So You Think You Can Dance runner-up Rhys can bust a move, but did you know he’s also a mean singer? We’ll soon get a chance to hear him flex his vocal chords on his debut single Hot Summer.

Just like Rhys’ moves on the dancefloor, his sound is anything but predictable.

“For me music and movement have always gone hand in hand. I like anything that makes me wanna dance. Be it indy and disco, to soulful house and gospel,” he explained in a press release.

“Growing up at the Johnny Young Talent School has definitely defined my eclectic tastes. Throw in some electro, breaks and I’m there! Major influences on me have been the likes of Prince, ELO, Madonna, Queen, Daft Punk, Madonna and Basement Jaxx. I’m also totally inspired by some amazing Aussie acts at the moment, like the Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Gotye and Van She.”

The addictive “Hot Summer” will be Network Ten’s advertising soundtrack, so we’re sure to hear a lot more of it!It’s also available for download from iTunes on Monday.
