The Tamperer featuring Maya is an Italian dance music group consisting of Italian record producers Mario Fargetta and Alex Farolfi. The group initially featured American singer Maya Days. Later, Giuliano Saglia and GianLuca Mensi would join the project. They achieved European success in 1998 with "Feel It", which reached number-one in both the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Tamperer remains active and since 2024 has been performing with singer Danielle Barnett, former lead vocalist of 1990s dance group Urban Cookie Collective.[1]

Overview

In 1998, the group achieved huge success with their debut single "Feel It", which peaked at number two in Italy and topped the charts in Belgium (Wallonia), Ireland and the United Kingdom. The song is from the album Fabulous, and was written by the American team of Steve Gittelman and Jim Dyke. It heavily samples the Jacksons hit "Can You Feel It".

The album spawned two more singles, "If You Buy This Record (Your Life Will Be Better)" (based on a sample from Madonna's "Material Girl"), which peaked at number four in Italy and also peaked within the top ten of the charts in Denmark, Finland, Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the Italy-only release "Step Out". The group returned in early 2000 to release its next (and final) single, "Hammer to the Heart" (based on ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"). "Hammer to the Heart" became the group's third single to peak within the top ten of the charts in the United Kingdom.

The producers also used the Tamperer alias to produce for and remix other artists, such as Crystal Waters.
