She Sued Sega For $16,000… And Paid $600,000
Deee-Lite’s meteoric rise and devastating collapse remains one of the most surreal chapters in 90s dance music history. This week, we explore the chaotic journey of Lady Miss Kier, Super DJ Dmitry, and Towa Tei, the trio who conquered the world with “Groove Is in the Heart” before self-destructing amid a toxic romantic breakup and a disastrous shift into political activism. We’ll uncover how the band’s internal friction led to the commercial failure of Infinity Within, Towa Tei’s abrupt departure, and the infamous $600,000 legal battle between Lady Miss Kier and Sega over the video game Space Channel 5. From their psychedelic fashion to their groundbreaking use of funk samples, we break down how one of the era’s most promising acts vanished as quickly as they arrived. Kindly like and subscribe – it really helps this channel a lot. I do appreciate it!

Kind folks who want to support the channel – I’d rather you actually have something in return for it. Something killer. Something that puts you heads and shoulders above the rest. So I have this:
This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year’s hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I’m basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/l/rbiuu

Never in the history of music has the concept of musical "identitah" been analyzed with so much "authoritah" as on Guitar Meets Science on YouTube. I’m deee-lited!

You are by far my favorite youtuber. Your stories are always interesting, and I love how you don't go back and fix your little mistakes. Keep being real! You got another like and hide from me. You rock!

Gah, I HATE paper straws! Tough enough drinking a Slurpee through one, never mind a milkshake. Damn you Justin Trudeau for banning plastic one-time-use ultensils!
Oh, uh, Dee-lite was fun. Lady Keir was one gorgeous lady. Hate to imagine what she looks like now. The Wall claims all.

one of those groups who you have to wonder what they would be like during social media era, including the Ulala thing.

Paper straws are something that should've never been allowed to happen. I believe in letting people govern themselves but in this case I wouldn't mind government stepping in and putting an end to this catastrophe

It used to be plastic straws, and paper wrapping, and now it’s paper, straws, and plastic wrapping

Hey man. How about adding a water mark icon in the corner and make it change positions? Clippers never give credit. I see your clips everywhere.
