Camisra / Tall Paul

Paul Newman, also known as Tall Paul or Camisra, is an English born (May 5) DJ, who is best known for the tracks "Rock Da House" and "Let Me Show You" (as Camisra). Both tracks reached #1 on the UK Dance charts. "Let me show you" is known for sampling the backbeat for Sandy B's "Make the world go round". He began his DJing career in 1985 at Turnmills, a nightclub his father owned. From there, Tall Paul became the resident DJ at the Gardening nightclub, London, before headlining at various events in countries including the US, Brazil and Ibiza. Tall Paul has also remixed songs for many artists, such as The Original's "I Luv U Baby", Liquid's "Sweet Harmony", The Stone Roses' "Fools Gold '95", Kool World Productions' "In-vader" and Mary Kiani's "100%".

What happened next?
I thought Tall Paul was in the 2000 movie, "Kevin and Perry Go Large" but in fact the DJ character, Eyeball Paul played by Rhys Ifans. Wonder if the character was named after him? In 2001, Tall Paul released an album of "sanitised" music, Mixed Live Tall Paul. "Rock Da House" made a return to the UK chart and "Precious Heart", a collaboration with Riva, Lush and Marc O'Tool was a top 20 hit.
