Deep House
Deep House is a genre of electronic music with its own unique characteristics and history.
About
Deep house is a subgenre of house music that originated in the 1980s. It is characterized by its soulful vocals, jazzy harmonies, and mellow melodies. Deep house tracks typically have a tempo of 110 to 130 BPM and feature a prominent four-on-the-floor beat.
History
Deep house emerged in the mid-1980s, primarily in Chicago and New York. Pioneers like Larry Heard (Mr. Fingers), Marshall Jefferson, and Frankie Knuckles created tracks that moved away from the more frenetic energy of early house, incorporating deeper, more soulful elements. Influences included jazz-funk, soul, and early electronic music. The genre gained traction in the late 80s and early 90s, solidifying its place in the broader house music scene and continued to evolve with waves of new artists.
