This is Techno ???
Holy cow. How do they stick this in techno? This is 100% deep house.
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.
I forgot the golden rule in genres: “everyone knows everything AND nobody knows anything.”
if it is deep house its not that deep 
I can honestly say that anything that has been described as deep house to me either in the club or on any forum I go on has, in my opinion been anything but deep house.
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.
Well like others have said there’s no point in being pedantic about it… but I would call this tech house or techno rather than deep house. that big build in the preview clip doesn’t feel very deep house to me.
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.
I had this same discussion with a DJ mate who plays house/deep in a local bar/club and he is getting it every night. He is hacked off with it.
“yo mate play some deep house, play Disclosure, play Maceo”
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.
Shit, I’m not even gonna Google it. lulz
op i would be here all day long if i posted the things you see people calling hiphop lol!
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:
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.
