New York City (1986 – 1996)

Deee-Lite was a dance music group formed in 1986 in New York City. Their most successful single was

Groove Is in the Heart from their 1990 debut, World Clique. With a psychedelic video that was all over MTV, the song also featured appearances by Q-Tip (from A Tribe Called Quest) and Bootsy Collins.

The original members of Deee-lite were:
* Super DJ Dmitri (Dmitri Brill, born 4 June 1964, originally from Kiev, Ukraine)

* Lady Miss Kier (Kierin M. Kirby, born 15 August 1963, Youngstown, Ohio)
* Towa Tei (Dong-hwa Chung, born 7 September 1964, originally from Tokyo, Japan)

Brill and Kirby had an ongoing romantic relationship which ended prior to the release of their third album, Dewdrops in the Garden. Also prior to that release, Tei left the band (appearing only on the track “Call Me”) and was replaced with DJ On-E. Deee-Lite disbanded in 1996, shortly after the release of Dewdrops in the Garden.

I always thought if everyone in the world listened to "World Clique", we would solve all of the Earth's problems. They were so ahead of their time.

There is nothing better than this. This group was so under-rated. They are forever in my top ten fave groups of all time!

If you've never heard Dmitri play live, you don't know what you're missing! Music Selector is the Soul Reflector and Bittersweet Loving are my favorite tracks :)

On our local station, they claim to play 'Deee-lite - Get up and dance'. Does this song really exist??? Or did they do their own mash-up without telling.
