Major labels never quite figured out how to sell DJ music to a mass audience.With their sass-tastic frontwoman and kitsched-to-death fashion sense, Deee-Lite probably seemed like a good bet at a time when pop’s future was still up for grabs. If you were a kid in the ‘burbs, they almost resembled a Daisy Age hip-hop group (the day-glo/flower-power look, the Q-Tip guest rap) as much as a house act (a strange urban subculture we had little access to in junior high). It was a one-way ticket to immortality, a real-world dancefloor-filler that rivals anything disco turned out in its world-conquering heyday. —Jess Harvell
