The Bloke behind Isotonik is Chris Paul isn't it?

[JonnieHands]

@JonMcElectro - Your right John. He can been seen in this video playing (or should I say miming) the keyboards! He's still DJing and making music under the names 'Chris Paul & Mia V' and 'Stolen Identity'.

@ 3:16, I find that piano part a bit emotional somehow. Miss the 90s already.

Good old YouTube!! Never thought I'd see this again. Memories of when my son started school and he talked about the "tomato dancing on the television... and the teacher didn't know what he was talking about.

3:19 the best bit by far, feel the rush!!!!

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but they use part of this tune for 'Come Dine With Me' in the uk - I thought I recognised it, must be the hardcore in me!

@RichieB1973 - we may have met. I lived in Mitcham and then Tadworth later on. Used to go to Orange at Camden Palace and Rocket in Holloway Rd. Take care. :o)

@RichieB1973 Hi RichieB! your name rings a bell. I lived in Sutton In Surrey for a while around the time this track came out and frequented Epsom and Croyden. Chris paul was the Dj Friday nights at Camden Palace. He knocked this one together real fast based on what his audience was dancing too, many samples, but soo clever. The chics are plucked from the crowd of Camden Palace. i was gutted i was not asked at the time, must have been washing my huge, long spirals on that night.

[RichieB1973]

Ha,ha, I didn't know they did it on Top of the Pops either. I bought my copy from Wax City in Croydon, so I don't know if that counted towards the chart position, or not. You can see Chris just knocked this together real quick, grabbed a vocalist and just said "look mate, just sing a bit over the track"The dancers had probably never even met before, never mind done a routine together and probably just had instructions to move and look sexy (job done BTW), Plus a nutter in an orange suit. :o)
