Deep House
Deep House is a slower and more melody -oriented style of the House. Musically dominated the good danceable, straight 4/4-time. The speed is in the range of about 100 to 127 beats per minute.
History and characteristics
In Chicago, Larry Heard produced as Fingers Inc. with the singers Ron Wilson and Robert Owens from 1986 percussive house tracks with soulful vocals. The Deep House stood out from so particular with his jazzy, sometimes vocal -heavy arrangements of the then-popular New York Garage House.
Deep House has a speed that is comparable with disco, but more reduced grooves, and was a reaction to the prevailing " Party House Music". The spectrum of current tracks is very large, ranging from soul influences to jazz Tech House, but all in a moderate pace usually around 125 BPM.
In Chicago, it came in the late 1980s to a downright Deep House wave. Most house producers now also produced deep house tracks such as Fast Eddies Can U Still Dance (1988) and Marshall Jefferson Truth Open Your Eyes (1988). The style-defining albums include, among others Promised Land by Joe Smooth.
The development of Deep House had seen a continuation of Music History of the Chicago House, which combined with the Garage House from New York to a new sound and a common association and approach of the two previously very isolated and self-sufficient existing scenes.
The regional differentiation and development of the Ur - House introduced in 1986 alongside the development of Deep House but also for training of another style in Chicago: The Acid House, which except a huge hype in 1988 in England but never to the long and consistent popularity of the Deep House handed approach.
