"Feel the Heat of the Night" is a song by German Eurodance group Masterboy, released in June 1994 by Polydor Records as the second single from their third album, Different Dreams (1994). The song's vocals are performed by Trixi Delgado, and the music is characterised as "rhythmic and swift", finding its inspiration from the Eurodance-style that was popular at the time.[1]

"Feel the Heat of the Night" achieved success in several countries, particularly in Austria, France, and Germany. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Feel the Heat of the Night" reached number 22. Kai von Kotze directed the single's music video. In 2003 and 2006, the song was re-released in remix versions, but was much less successful. The artwork of the remixes used the same picture made by Günther Blum but with different colours.

Critical reception

James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described the song as a "routine cheesy German galloper with usual ingredients".[2] Barbara Ellen from NME said, "Masterboy are German disco-peddlers who probably do a lot of praying and kow-towing in front of Snap! posters before they go into the studio."[3]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Feel the Heat of the Night" was directed by Kai von Kotze.[4] It was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in August 1994.[5]
