Deep house is a genre of music that has been gaining in popularity for a number of years.


Deep house music tends to have a slower tempo and relaxed sounds and rhythms, along with soulful vocals. 


The old-school house sound was influenced by the mix of disco and hi-NRG disco (electronic dance music).

Deep house music is a subgenre of house music that emerged from Chicago in the mid-1980s. The name is derived from the "deep" drum patterns which can be heard on many of these tracks.

Deep house was first introduced in the United States by Chicago DJs after returning from a European tour.

Deep House is a type of house music that has low-pitched melodies and that features a slower tempo, often between 118 and 125 beats per minute. Deep House has been defined by its “deep” basslines and hypnotizing synthesizers.

In the 1980s, Chicago DJs who had been to Europe began to play music with this style, with the first recordings being released on vinyl in 1987. However, it wasn't until the 1990s when deep house was created from mixing elements of soulful disco beats and electronic dance sounds that it became popular.
