with the massive popularity of their hit single "groove is in the
heart," deee-lite brought the colorful sights and sounds of new
york's club culture into the mainstream. formed in 1986, the trio
was led by vocalist lady miss kier (born kieren kirby in
youngstown, ohio) and fleshed out by a pair of djs, super dj
dmitry (a classically-trained guitarist and russian emigre born
dmitry brill) and jungle dj towa towa (born doug wa-chung in
tokyo, japan). fusing house, techno, rap, ambient and funk music
with an outrageous visual flair largely influenced by the
drag-queen community (kier's fondness for fluevog platform shoes
helped the 1970s fashion revival gather steam), deee-lite became
hugely popular among new york club denizens, and the trio's own
unique cultural make-up earned them a following which ignored
racial and sexual boundaries. in 1990, they debuted with the album
world clique, a crossover smash thanks to hits like the loping
classic "groove is in the heart" (featuring the fluid bass of
bootsy collins and the saxophone of maceo parker) and "power of
love." with their 1992 follow-up infinity within, deee-lite's
music turned overtly political as songs touched base with hot
topics like the environment, safe sex and democracy. towa towa
left the group soon after; rechristened towa tei, he released his
solo debut future listening in 1995. kier and dmitry, meanwhile,
enlisted dj ani for 1994's dewdrops in the garden, a sensual
outing influenced by the growing rave culture. after the release
of 1996's remix album sampladelic relics and dancefloor oddities,
deee-lite disbanded.
