*******************
Deee-Lite is a house and club/dance group known for their 1990 crossover smash "Groove Is In The Heart," dance chart hits “Power Of Love,” “Good Beat,” and their albums ‘World Clique,’ ‘Infinity Within,’ and ‘Dewdrops in the Garden.’
Deee-Lite was formed in 1986 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn by vocalist Lady Miss Kier and multi-instrumentalist Super DJ Dmitry and became popular in the New York club scene as a vibrant and lively dance act known for their unique Holographic Techno Soul, psychedelic light show, and innovative art direction. Jungle DJ Towa Towa officially joined the group in 1989 contributing production on the first album and both songwriting and production on the second. Deee-Lite broke up in 1993 but all three artists continue to deejay to this day.

[@willritter4076]

the early 90s era (1989-1992) was basically the highest evolution of 80s electronic pop music. It was bizarre how the sound of Cathy Dennis/Dee-Lite/Black Box/CeCe Peniston suddenly disappeared, and was replaced in 1993 by the much more acoustic & introspective sound that people today generally associate with 90s music. The early 90s are a unique era separate from the rest of that decade.

[@AudioInklined]

I agree with that sentiment. The 90s were an uncanny era. The styles, the music, the girls..... all delicious and on point. I look back on the time frame like a great party I got to go to.

[@frog_haus]

Hair metal was killed off instantly by grunge in the early 90's also. Load up on guns, bring your friends. It's fun to lose and to pretend.

[@TedJohnson85]

You nailed it!

[@TedJohnson85]

I was thinking more about this and you are so correct! This “mini-era” also produced Crystal Waters (She’s Homeless) and Snap (Rhythm is a dance)that fit this sound. I have often thought that each decade spills into the next for about two or three years. You could write an entire essay about 80s electronic music being the last great gasp of the 80s before being steamrolled by 90s introspective and acoustic type music in 1993.

Some pearls are eternal, didn’t it? Groove is in the heart is one example from the 90’s. Unbelievably, they did the opposite of what is usual in electronic and hip hop music: instead of speeding up the lines, they slowed down the bass line. Genius. Herbie Hancock, the genius behind the “bring down the birds” bass line; might be astonished til these days…

For you young ins, nobody was dressed like this in the 90s. Their clothes, dance moves, psychedelic motif for the background was all early 1970s (late 1960s) The video was meant to be retro so this really stood out in 1990. The music is not typically 90s either but was thoroughly modern. This group was way ahead of their time and totally unique. The album World Clique is fantastic too from beginning to end.

[@tinfoilmagnolia2546]

I actually DID dress like this in the mid 80s to 90. This whole style was thrift store cheap and retro before retro went mall. I also worked in a salon so my hair was often in some form of B-52s glory with the fake eyelashes. Oh, and the real go-go boots! I lived and played in a pretty cool City back then. Wow. Great times! I was so blessed to have been in my 20s in the 80s. We paid the price for it, but damn it was fun at the time.

[@jhuny]

Clearly you didn't grow up in this era lol. 😁🤣😁

[@traekas7228]

tinfoil magnolia, Me too,...20s in the 80s. Fun in and out of the sun. Yeah, LOVE ❤️ the B-52s!! Which “pretty cool City” was yours? Mine was San Francisco, my favorite City, where the Women are Strong, and the men are Pretty. (And Gay). It was a thing for my bestie, me, and our social group. It wasn’t meant to wound, but to cause non-injuring laughter. So, no offense. I had many, many adventures back during my time in the sun. You’re right, I sure am paying for it now! Oy!! Stay healthy, you and yours.

[@tinfoilmagnolia2546]

@@traekas7228 My City was Minneapolis! Back in the 80s that place had the best music scene on the planet at the time and I was right in the middle of it! You could tell history was being made in the present. I was even in a club with a handful of other people one slow cold night when Prince was ushered in and did a blues set. What an incredible time! We were blessed weren't we? I cannot imagine what life must be for these young people that never knew the World before 9/11 and helicopter parents watching thier every move. Of course these kids have no idea how bad the AIDS epidemic was either, among many others I lost my best friend in 2001, but wow, when the party was swinging... Groove Was In The Heart!

[@tinfoilmagnolia2546]

@Beyonder Definitely. Chicago and Minneapolis were also very tight music communities with one another regarding early 80s and onward post punk bands. Minneapolis bands were frequently playing Chicago and vice versa and each community was supporting the other as well as being friends. Chicago gave us the brilliant Big Black- Steve Albinis band, that was one of the blueprints for Nirvana, and Mpls band Husker Du are obviously one of the Foo Fighters big influences as well. Urge Overkill, Naked Raygun- these bands were familar faces in the Twin Cities, and The Replacements, Rifle Sport, Man Sized Action, Breaking Circus ( with singer Steve Bjorkland from Chicago ) played in Chicago quite a bit. And of course Chicago gave everyone Ministry- whose first EP Cold Life was much more dance techno than heavy industrial. Wax Trax Records was really big too and any quick trip to Chicago wasn't complete without a trip to Wax Trax and perhaps a Cubs game if it was summer. The Cubby Bear Lounge was right there too. These were the early to mid 80s- without Mpls and Chicago there would've never been a so-called Seattle scene, which was a straight rip off of both- right down to the clothes, the long underwear, boots, knit caps and flannel plaid shirts everyone wore because it's so damned cold in both cities during Wintertime. Nirvana even had Steve Albini produce In Utero which was recorded in Minnesota. And lest we forget, Courtney Love was on the scene in Minneapolis too ripping off Kat Bjellands Kinderwhore look among other things before she landed Cobain.
