Indeep was a 1980s New York-based new wave group best known for its post-disco classic “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life”.
The group was led by songwriter Michael Cleveland, and it was known for employing a strong disco-esque bassline and early hip hop lyrics backed by two female singers: Réjane Magloire and Rose Marie Ramsey. “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” was released on Sound of New York Records (SNY-5102) in 1982 and peaked in early 1983, reaching the top-10 US urban and dance charts as well as the top 15 in UK. The follow-up single, “When Boys Talk,” did not do nearly as well on either side of the Atlantic, which combined with their limited later success put them into the one-hit wonders category. Vocalist Réjane Magloire later enjoyed some success with Belgian techno-house outfit Technotronic.
