Camisra - Let Me Show You

US The making of a dancefloor classic      17/03/26

When it comes to 90s floor fillers, guaranteed to make the club lose their minds... 'Camisra - Let Me Show You' is certainly up there. It has an odd concoction of elements and structure which goes to prove there is no exact formula to making a hit. In this video Tall Paul aka Camisra talks about the origination of the track, and how he came to be making music. 

Tall Paul, AKA Camisra, shares the story behind his 1998 hard house hit 'Let Me Show You'.

Cutting his teeth at London's Turnmills, Tall Paul quickly became a resident across a number of iconic UK clubights in the '90s, including Zap in Brighton and Trade in London.

'Let Me Show You' was made exclusively for a gig at BBC Radio One weekend at Amnesia Ibiza in 1998. Paul made the track in the studio attached to Turnmills, running a number of samples through his AKAI machine, the most popular being Sandy B's 'Make The World Go Round'.

Here, Paul tells us about the tune's success, the Top of the Pops show that never happened, and how it recently got a remix from Armin van Buuren.

In our series, DJ Mag explores the tales behind some of the world's favourite dance tracks, told by the people that made them.
