Before I got the chance to work with Deee-lite way back in ‘93, I was just a fan. So when I found out about “the very best of Deee-lite” compilation that was dropping on vinyl this past Black Friday on @rhino_records, I had to go by @djrockandsoul on 49 West 37th street to scoop up a couple of copies for myself… just like I would have when I was a teenager. Huge shout out to @djmoneymikenyc for holding them for me. There might be some copies left at the store, so swing by Rock & Soul. They’re a mom & pop shop that’s been serving DJs and record collectors since the 1970s with an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff and vinyl for days… Equipment too. They have it all. #deeelite And of course… Massive ups to @theladymisskier @superdjdmitry & #towatei for all the magic they’ve created; music that still seems to be holding up after all these decades. Shout out to @styluschris for the dance moves in Picnic in the Summertime 🍄🦋🐛 And definitely go follow @deeelite_sampladelica for all things Deee-lite!! I used IGs app for editing the captions. Kind of wack!! #vinyl #vinylrecord

💖🎶 Deee-Lite – “Groove Is in the Heart”: a explosão de alegria, funk e house que coloriu os anos 90! 🕺💃✨ Lançada em 1990, “Groove Is in the Heart” é um daqueles hits que parece ter saído de uma festa intergaláctica. Com a voz única de Lady Miss Kier, samples icônicos, participação do Bootsy Collins (no baixo e vocais) e até um rap do Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest), a música é pura celebração da dança e da diversidade. 🌈🔥 💫 Curiosidades Chiclete que tornam esse clássico ainda mais incrível: ✨ O sample principal vem de “The Grunt” dos J.B.’s (James Brown), mas a música também incorpora trechos de Herbie Hancock, Vernon Burch e até um grito de Eddie Murphy no filme “48 Hrs.”! 🎛️🎬 ✨ O clipe é uma explosão de cores, estampas e estilos — um visual que definiu a estética “flower power moderno” dos anos 90. 🎥🌼 ✨ Deee-Lite era um trio de Nova York com uma proposta clara: música dançante, mensagem positiva e inclusão. E conseguiram! 🗽❤️ ✨ A música foi um sucesso global, chegando ao topo das paradas de dance e pop, e virou hino de festas, comerciais e momentos de pura felicidade. 📀🌍 ✨ Até hoje, quando toca, a reação é instantânea: sorriso no rosto, corpo no ritmo e a certeza de que o groove realmente está no coração! 😄💫 Dá o play e deixa a alegria tomar conta — porque essa aqui é pura vitamina de animação! 🎧🚀 #DeeeLite #GrooveIsInTheHeart #Anos90 #DanceMusic #FunkyHouse ThalisHallberg

Deee-Lite’s ‘Groove Is in the Heart’ turns 35 this year 🌼
73,078

Deee-Lite’s ‘Groove Is in the Heart’ turns 35 this year 🌼 Released in August 1990 on Elektra Records, the single is taken from the New York group’s debut album ‘World Clique’, with an iconic bassline lifted from Herbie Hancock’s ‘Bring Down the Birds’, a guest appearance from Parliament Funkadelic’s Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, and a verse from A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-tip. The song reached No. 1 in Australia, No. 2 in the UK, and No. 4 in the US. The trio, comprising Lady Miss Kier, DJ Dmitry and Towa Tei, found delights on New York City’s dancefloors, and fed it back into their de-gorgeous mix of funk, pop and disco, all wrapped up in a hip-hop bow. “We formed Deee-lite just as the musical flames of house music and hip-hop were blazing,” Lady Miss Kier told DJ Mag in 2020. “Even with these two forces, we were also absorbing ’60s and ’70s jazz and funk, ’70s and ’80s electronic music, and ’60s acid rock. I consider myself a musical intern for life.” When the track hit its 30th anniversary, DJ Mag caught up with the band to revisit this enduring track, still found wedding playlists, “best of the ’90s” lists. and late-night dancefloors around the world. Reflecting on its legacy, Dmitry said the song “perfectly captured the moment… it personified a wonderful time when we were all hopeful for the new music revolution sweeping the world — everybody dropping their guns and shaking their booties.” Read the full feature, How ‘Groove is in the Heart’ captured the energy of ‘90s New York club culture’ on djmag.com 🔗
