"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 10 1981 hit "Can You Feel It" and quotes Heather Leigh West's lyrics from Urban Discharge's 1996 song "Drop A House."

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. They used an orchestra and vocals by singer Maya instead of using the sample.

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

Release

"Feel It" was released in May 1998 as the lead single from their debut album, Fabulous. It reached number 1 in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland and Wallonia, as well as number 4 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and number 1 on the Canadian dance music chart.
