[edit] Info on 'Touch Me'
Touch me is a popular Dance/House song produced by Portuguese DJ Rui Da Silva featuring vocals written & performed by British singer Cassandra "Cass" Fox.
'Touch Me' is probably Rui Da Silva's most popular song, spending 1 week at the #1 spot on UK charts, lasting a total of 14 weeks on the charts alone and selling some 300,000 copies. The soulful vocal, trance chords, and deep house groove of Touch Me earned Rui an award for 'best single' in Muzik Magazine Dance Awards 2001, as well as a nomination for 'best break through artist' at the Dance Star Awards.
Vocalist, Cassandra Fox, co-wrote the song (Cass writing the lyrics, Rui Da silva writing the backing track) hanging out at Da Silva's studio after the two met when he saw her performing in the West End. Cassandra, however, felt dance music wasn't what she wanted to do, and shortly after the success of 'Touch Me', she parted ways with Da Silva.

[edit] Trivia
- The Radio Edited version, which was the released version and received plenty of radio play, was cut down to 3:41 minutes. The Original Mix version is 8:36 minutes long.
- DJ Tiësto (dubbed "the world's number 1 DJ"[2]) produced a remix of the song, which was also very popular.
- In Tiësto's remix, Cassandra's voice is sped up and put in a higher octave, creating more high sounding vocals. Overall, Tiësto's version of the song has a faster, trance induced rythmn and beat; a Tiësto trademark. Tiësto's remix can be heard on his album In Search of Sunrise 2
