DESCRIPTION:
1982 Classic Vocal / Disco Cuts Gets House Treatment & Nu-DIsco Rework - Inc Original Vocal Monster
Indeep was the brainchild of New Jersey native Mike Cleveland, who with vocalists Rose Marie Ramsey and Réjane (Reggi) Magloire recorded the original “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” for the struggling Sound of New York Records in 1982. For the song Cleveland reunited with producer Reggie Thompson (with whom he had worked with on Glass’s “Let Me Feel Your Heartbeat” that same year for West End Records, a track co-produced by legendary DJ Larry Levan.) Becket Records first distributed “Last Night” but within a year was releasing all Indeep’s music under their own imprint, where the group fit in perfectly with that label’s roster of funky New York electro and early hip hop artists.
This Unidisc release sees two new remixes by British house DJ George Smeddles, who departs from his trademark ‘90s sound, and the original track’s 808 slow groove, for an intense, faster house beat that puts the Chic-influenced guitar/bass riffs front and center. Also here, from the 1982 12” single, are the original “Acapella” mix with vocals including Cleveland’s rap and the “Sure Shot” vocal mix by house DJ Tony Humphries, who had built a reputation in New York for his KISS FM radio show but broke into the mainstream with this mix, the first of many club hits for this iconic DJ.

Last FM Information on Indeep
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
There are two distinct artists called Indeep (or In Deep). One 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.
The other is a local Sacramento rock band with funk and blues influences. (www.InDeepRocks.com)
The Sacramento In Deep consists of guitarist Matthew Thompson, Bassist John Hubbard, Vocalist Nick DeMario, and Percussionist Justin Harris. These fine young men collectively create a sound that is heavy and funky, bluesy and intense, technical and musical. Read more on Last.fm.
