'Rita Ora is a real star' according to DJ Fresh

DJ Fresh has spoken out in support and admiration of former collaborator Rita Ora, describing her as an artist that "defines the moment".

The pair worked together on their chart-topping single 'Hot Right Now' and Fresh, real name Dan Stein, explained that her sound and style are both so modern that it was only a matter of time before her own career picked up steam:

"I'm definitely not surprised by Rita's success. She's a real star and it was only a matter of time before the world would realise that. Every so often an artist comes along that defines the moment and right now that's Rita."

He also spoke about his new album, which is called 'Nextlevelism and is due to be released on October 1, and admitted that he can't wait to tour:

"After spending so long in the studio we can't wait to take the tracks out on the road. We sold out the last two tours, even increasing the capacity for some of the shows, so this time we're taking it to bigger venues than ever before with our biggest production yet. Hopefully it'll blow everyone away."

 

 

 

DJ Fresh will perform at this year's iTunes Festival on Monday, September 17 along with 'Kickstarts' hitmaker Example. Watch the video for 'Hot Right Now' below:
