Deep House is the new Deep House




Hey Peops hope your ok, well wanna say all is good, and house music seems to be healthy. The are lots of artists out there embracing old skool synths bleeps beeps and general squelchyness. Obviously globally there's still the sh$t commercial lets sample anything or ya X factor or whatever genus you have in your hood... I'm adding to house in my own way although have wandered off on a Deeper more purer house angle of late, but I think thats just what you do as a person over time. Interestingly read a post on a Yahoo answer for who are the best Deep house artists and the answerer bless had know idea and was wandering into allsorts of upfront stuff.. ouch..

 I'm assuming he or she was young and hasn't discovered Chicago or NY ( maters at work gods!) old skool we didnt have Cubase or logic just MS 20s, Moogs, Junos and 808's etc, and it made me think that you cant really say who are Deep House purists in truth, as I think if you write dance music and House then at some point you will do a no frills simplistic house track or remix, or dub, stripped down Ra ra ra, that in its essence is deep, you design it around a beat pattern that develops and progresses with a B-line and drop the occasional stab of fat chords that may be soft, carrying swirling huge waves of moodyness that just make you nod and whole body groove (cant you tell I'm listening to a track as I write!)Oh and emotive, chords, maybe a vocal or sample that lets the track wash over you...

Hey I dunno thats how I see deep house and aslong as it has a beat that keeps you snuggled up in it and doesn't make you jump to attention and go 'Oi what was that.. grr ' then its doin its job.. Heres two to let you go there... Probably.. well actually the first is my favourite Deep House track Global Communication - The Way fat as a 63 stone teenager!! .. old but Still a gorgeous track.... easily one of the best!!! Second is newerish Claude Von Stroke - Who's Afraid Of Detroit... and hes a F@@kin legend!!! ..
