Deee-Lite was an American house and club/dance group, formed in New York, New York, United States. The group's best-known single was "Groove Is in the Heart", from their 1990 debut album, World Clique. However, Deee-Lite achieved longer lasting success on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where they scored six number-one hits.

Band members [edit]
The members of Deee-lite were:
- Super DJ Dmitri (Dmitry Brill, born June 4, 1964, originally from Kiev, Ukraine), producer
- Lady Miss Kier (Kierin M. Kirby, born August 15, 1963, Youngstown, Ohio, United States), vocal
- Towa Tei (Dong-hwa Chung, born September 7, 1964, originally from Tokyo, Japan), keyboards
- DJ Ani (Ani Q. Schempf, born December 14, 1973, Kansas City, Kansas, United States), mixing
Career [edit]
Prior to the release of the group's third album, Dewdrops in the Garden, Tei left the band (appearing only on the track "Call Me") and was replaced with DJ Ani. Even with a roster change and minimal record label support, Deee-Lite still managed to tour for a year after the release of Dewdrops in the Garden. Consequently, Dewdrops in the Garden sold more records than Deee-Lite's second release, Infinity Within.
The tune "Groove is In the Heart" featured lyrics from Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, and bass guitar and vocals by Bootsy Collins.
Since his exit from the group, Tei has recorded several albums as a solo artist and since Deee-Lite's disbanding Kier, Dmitry and Ani have maintained successful club DJ careers. In a 2011 interview, Tei dismissed the chances of Deee-Lite reforming, citing the creative and personal differences that prompted him to depart.[1]
In early 2003, Kirby initiated a lawsuit against Sega corporation for allegedly stealing her Lady Miss Kier persona and using it as the basis of a character named Ulala in the video game Space Channel 5, after she had declined their invitation to participate in the game's development. In 2006, the court ruled against Kirby.[2] In 2008, the band's single "Groove is in The Heart" was licensed for use in the Sega video game Samba de Amigo for the Wii console, appearing in a stage featuring Ulala.
