Deep House

Deep house is a kind of dance music born in Chicago in the second half of the eighties as a sub-genre of house music. Compared to Chicago House it is slower (122-127 bpm), almost hypnotic, and melodic; it also incorporates jazz influences. The name "Deep" comes from the deep bass sound usually found in songs of this genre.



Deep tracks generally feature deep sounding pads, similar to those used in the chill out and lounge areas. Very important are the electric pianos, first of all the Fender Rhodes, in its Mark I and Mark II models, followed by the Wurlitzer pianos. In the tracks there are often only wind instruments typically jazz like the sax or the trumpet. Moreover, the chords and scales of the melodic part of the Deep pieces are always of the Soul standard and above all Jazz. Because of these characteristics, with an andante and relaxed rhythm and its refined sounds, the Deep House is often used in high fashion shows and is considered as the dance version of genres such as Nu jazz and the Lounge.
