Tiesto jumping on the DEEP HOUSE band wagon now...

[O.D.]

Wonderful

[tekki]

almost everything that's popular sounds more like tech house than deep house. All those acts listed sound more like tech than deep to me.
Don't get me wrong I love most of the new deep house, but it doesn't have the same soul that deep house started with.

Amen!

[Schalenberg]

Yes, this sounds very tech house...

We always say... Dj's need to diversify....diversify. But when they do. Booooo hooooo..... I just wish Tiesto would still do trance, we was at his height then.

While I don't think the deep house community needs his credibility, I certainly hope they welcome it. Let's see what he brings to the table. He is definitly a world famous name and brand. But you are are only as good as your last record. I'll listen.

Tiesto is the kind who will never be happy with what he has. If he sees someone else getting more attention than him, he gets very jealous. Unlike Armin, who is a very genuine and content person. (from what I've seen in interviews)

I'm not looking for a role model. I'm looking for quality tunes. As we have shown on this forum time and time again, DJs in general are an obnoxious bunch of opinionated, hard headed, narrow minded, look at me, loudmouth, internet tough guys.

That may well be true in some aspects, but time and time again, there is band wagon jumping by big labels and producers looking to tag along (to make money) with what has bubbled up from the underground scenes, this year it happens to be Deep House's turn. The problem is although we may get some quality tunes from someone like Tiesto (although I'm doubtful), the scene is often pillaged and left behind 12 months later. Thankfully those that have been a part of that particular scene for many years, in this case Deep House, will still be going strong in the underground in the future.

The current sound we're hearing has more nods back to early UK Garage and the more bumpier, US dub Soulful House tracks. Personally I think it's great and fits in with what I would term more traditional Soulful & Deep House as mentioned earlier in the thread.

I've seen a lot of producers from other genres dabble in making Deep House in the last 6 months with mixed success. I think those have been in to Soulful/Deep House can very easily spot someone who's just jumped in, you can tell in the production itself and the flow of the track.

In all honesty, so far it's not been too bad for the Deep House scene, even the tracks that have hit the Top40 have been credible, let's hope that continues.

the whole new "deep house" sound is more tech house than anything. If he was playing Masters at Work or Kerri Chandler then I'd be suprised. Maybe people will actually start wanting to hear this stuff at clubs more.

Amen!
