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 and fleshed out by a pair of DJs, Super DJ Dmitry and Jungle DJ Towa Towa.
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 '70s 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."
Lady Miss Kier has pushed the boundaries of dance music, art and fashion. Her career has spanned two decades and she has enjoyed success in both film and music.
What defines a Dance Music Legend? Over 100 productions, six albums, on labels including Defected, CR2, Soma, Cajual, and his own Farriswheel Recordings? Djing in over 30 countries, playing in all the hottest clubs all over the world for over a decade, from Ibiza's "Space", Cielo New York, or Residenting at North America's longest running dance night; Chicago's "Boom Boom Room? Gene Farris is considered all over the world by dance music fans, producers, and Djs as a Dance Music legend.
This spectacular afterparty begins at 6pm immediately following the Pride Celebration on Sunday, June 24th.
