I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over beatport's genre labeling system- by now we know they often mess stuff up and certain things are subjective and borderline. This isn't even really a bad example- maetrik usually produces a deep tech house kinda sound and a lot of his stuff is definitely techno. His more deep house stuff usually gets released under maceo plex.
I just hate it because my sound is definitely not techno, but this would drop right into one of my sets.
I found this by chance. I don't have time to search through every genre. As it stands, I spend 4 hours + a week digging through sites and now I have to add techno.
Arrggghhh.
Maybe you should rethink how you approach digging for music. I can't remember the last time I really browsed by genre categories on any music sites. Usually I find new music by listening to DJ mixes and making notes of tracks I like (shazam is useful if out somewhere and works well a lot of the time)- then browsing based on artists and labels for more similar tracks, then listening to DJ mixes from any new artists I discover that way, that and occasionally I find stuff posted on reddit in various music subs. It's a lot less time consuming and I mostly just listen to new mixes while driving.
I do mixes, podcasts and jam to Di.FM and SSradioUK all day at home etc.
What blogs and reddit do you use?
Sometimes you have to dig through genres. I ain't wasting time digging through Electro and Trance, etc. if it's not my style.

Actually I found the 'Techno'-label here better than Deep house mate.
here we go. Sorry I brought it up.Quote:

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.
Are a lot of people really calling disclosure deep house? That wouldn't even fall under the "new deep house" sound I think you'e also referring to. Fits more under what people are calling "future garage", and not even sure how I like that genre label in general but that's what I would throw disclosure under.Quote:

And this is why people complain about genre labels on music stores- none of us can ever totally agree on what genre anything is :)
this is the second such thread you have made like this...give it a rest...

Yes. In the UK they are.Quote:

Oh well.
Disclosure sure have become popular over here recently, but I've never heard anyone classify them as deep house, or any sort of house at all.
Personally I find following artists, labels, and channels is much more effective than browsing a whole genre for new material.
i had to google Disclosure...
I'm old.

Closer to techno than deep house in my book. I certainly wouldn't freak out about it.
Well it ain't tech, it ain't techno and it ain't disco, so I just threw it under deep house. It's deep, a little dark and it's bassline was copied from this track which is very house on the funky tip:Quote:

Well new deep house is just old deep house with modern production. You listen to the old dance anthems and there is a distinct lack of low end compared to modern production and the loudness war. Personally, I find Disclosure's White Noise to be Deep House, because there's nothing else closer. It's house, it's minimal, it's deep, it's gotta be, right? The vocal is full on commercial pop though. And none of their other songs I would class as deep. I think in getting their usual sound into the mainstream they took elements of the current trend, which in most of the UK is deep.
I prefer good deep to good prog though, mostly because deep is actually house. And to me, techno is Kraftwerk.
BTW you forgot to congratulate me on my 1,000 post :(
lol

deep-house, new deep-house, tech-house, techno,... whatever, if it fits, it sits!
I search in a similar way. And it makes it more interesting, for me!!Quote:

i still have no idea who disclosure is...and i dig like a mf'er...
I dig by looking through artists/labels I like, it ends up like one long chain if you do it right.
A lot of the stuff under the 'indie-dance' genre is pretty deep, which I wouldn't find just looking through the deep house genre. A lot of stuff labelled tech house is more deep house than tech house. I guess what I'm saying is there are better ways to find music than by someone elses genre criteria.
I like deep house and I like techno. I didn't so much like that song. On the subject of Disclosure I googled them and I found 20 tracks on Beatport. Of those 20 only three were labeled as Deep house.
Disclosure is Hipster Tech.
Detroit Techno... just gonna leave that one to float out there.

I'll let you into a little secret (probably not much of one), but here is an amazing site to use http://www.1001tracklists.com/.
Gives the track names of DJs latest sets. Amazing site that I've been using for a good few years. What you'll find is, is that you'll have a track for weeks before it even enters the Beatport charts.
Maetrik is Maceo Plex' 'techno' producing name. He does actually produce deep house under Maceo Plex.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

But yeah that hasn't got nothing on proper techno, Marcel Dettmann, Shed, Mark Broom, etc.
Yeah I remember that!Quote:

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.
Karlos sounding like HitlerQuote:

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
