Feel It (The Tamperer featuring Maya song)

"Feel It" is a song by Italian group The Tamperer featuring Maya. It is produced by Mario Fargetta and Alex Farolfi from Milan-based CHR dance network Radio Deejay. The song is based on the Jacksons' top-ten 1981 hit "Can You Feel It" and quotes Heather Leigh West's lyrics from Urban Discharge's 1996 song "Drop a House".[1]

The song was a commercial success, reaching number one in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Wallonia region of Belgium. It also topped the Canadian RPM Dance Chart, peaked at number two in Italy, and reached the top 10 in eight other countries, including France, Hungary, New Zealand and Norway.

Background

Producer Alex Farolfi went to Ibiza in the summer of 1997 and noticed that the crowd would go wild when a club DJ played "Can You Feel It". Fargetta and Farolfi went together and made a version using a sample of the original by The Jacksons and tested it in Italian clubs. The track was so successful, so the producers decided to re-record it properly.

Club remixes from UK DJ/producer Sharp and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels caught the attention of DJ Pete Tong, who featured a different remix each Friday night for six weeks on his Essential Selection dance music show on CHR network BBC Radio 1.[2]

Release

"Feel It" was released in May 1998 as the lead single from their debut album, Fabulous. It reached number one in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and the Wallonia region of Belgium, as well as on the Canadian RPM Dance Chart.

Music & Media wrote about the song: "This Italian production team consists of three producers from national CHR network Radio Deejay. DJ Fargetta, Alex Farolfi and Mentiroso use the talents of dance diva Maya as the icing on the cake, which has the Jacksons' Can You Feel It as its main ingredient. Having enjoyed success in Italy, the incredibly catchy track is now being released across Europe."[3]

The music video for "Feel It" was directed by director Daniel P. Siegler & Tracks.[4]
