Stop calling it Deep House

I dont care less about genre's anymore, preview each track on the top 10 progressive charts and its nothing but Pop Music in the style of SHM, nothing progressive about it.

I haven't really taken the Beatport genres seriously for quite some time.

^hahahahah

I have nothing valuable to add to this because it's all silly. Humans have to categorize things, that's what we do, no sense fighting it, but it's all just silly.

yes we do categorize things. and its good in a way, helps us find things easier, but sometimes its really easy to get tunnel vision (musically). Thats why i really try not to listen to individual tracks. I'm really into only listening to mixes, and picking a track i like out of the mix. Because you might like a track, and come to find out its actually "tech house" meanwhile you have been wadding through crates of "deep House" stuff and you probably would have never found that gem. Incidentally I listened to this mix 5 times in a row yesterday, and if your a fan of this type of music (who cares what genre it is)....well just listen to the mix all the way through, and you will figure out why

I have got somewhat vexed with the hijacking of genre names. First it was electro, and now deep house.

I get why it's called deep. For me the differentiation I make is that original deep house stirred definite emotions. This is my favourite original deep house tune:



Deep house these days just seems to be about how it sounds rather than how it makes you feel. And most of it today makes me feel like I'm in a bar rather than wanting to raise my hands in the air and lose myself.

Good call on the Marshal Jefferson, but for me Larry Heard (Mr Fingers) is the soul of Deep House

This is my favourite by far..

The concept of a genre is the most closed minded thing ever created. If dj's can free their mind and just think of music as Music you can literally play whatever you want in a set. Wanna drop Kayne into a dubstep set...go for it! Want to mix some Little River Band into a deep house set...Why not??!!

Genres is the reason why so many tracks and dj sets sound the same, because producers are aiming for the typical sound of that genre, instead of of letting creativity flow, and then seeing what genre their new track falls into....

Genres definitely have a purpose but when one starts to think in such rigid terms, then creativity does suffer. I think genres help beginners learn the elements of tracks. If we're talking dub step: heavy bass, 70/140BPM, heavy leads etc. It should be used as a guide for beginner producers but once you're comfortable with the elements then you can decide to think for yourself and think outside the box. If someone had said dutch house must always be 128 BPM, never 110 BPM, we would never have moombahton.
