The track you posted totally isn't "deep house" lol. It's definitely way more techno than any deep house..

Beatport's genre labelling isn't exactly anything to live by anyway haha

if that track is techno then Ben Klock plays trance.

I would suggest the reason it has ended up in the Techno genre is down to it being released under the Maetrik name and not Maceo Plex.

That's the techier end of Techno. Adam Beyer had it on one of his Drumcode Radio shows.

Yeah, it's not straight techno but I was just saying its definitely more tech than deep house.
Timbo21 is right what he's saying it has probably just been slammed in the techno section as Maetrik is Maceo's more techy production side.

But yeah that hasn't got nothing on proper techno, Marcel Dettmann, Shed, Mark Broom, etc.

Yeah I remember that!
Even Beyer has started dropping 'deep house' lately now haha

Adam Beyer managed to euthanize an entire pool party at WMC. SLS Hotel.
Maybe he should play more deep house when the sun is blazing and the bikinis are wet.

Old genre/name, rehashed to fill a gap because people have run out of ways to describe something.



I mean fucking Disclosure. Good, but not deep house. Dont get me wrong, a genre can develop over time and change and still be relevantly called the same genre but... nah .

But who am I to say. Im just an old fart that used to play deep house and is annoyed that younger people are now calling something else deep house.

Probably makes me sound like Jerry Wexler moaning that R&B has been misused as a term to describe wank like Usher.

Thanks Xone.

Gotta be honest though. Karlos and Hitler sum up my feelings on this. I'm another old fart who used to play deep house and some of the new stuff that is classed as deep clearly isn't.

I'd say that's closer to tech-house than techno and deep house, if id put it in any of the Beatport genres
