When you think of deep house...

Re: When you think of deep house...

the soulful vocal sound is what I enjoy personally as well.

So, you liked "Involver 3" that kind of pop-house album or whatever he did.

Re: When you think of deep house...

^^ i liked bits of it, but only listened to part of it once.

Anyway, I listened to all of that dig weed mix Gizze, and I heard the deep house tracks (I classify as deep house)

@Gizze:

listen from 22 minutes to 24 minutes ... Simon Dunmore discusses London currently, etc, regarding House and Soulful house with vocals.

thoughts?

I guess I relate more to the younger crowd of listeners, because the soulful vocal sound is what I enjoy personally as well.

If you take 100 random people and play them some form of 'deep' house, whether it is deep progressive, deep tech, deep chilled, deep soul, etc. you will probably get them moving, nice music is just nice music, get a good bassline going on that makes people want to move and they will move, throw in a decent vocal and it will get even the non house fans moving too.
Take those same 100 people and play them the sets that many rave about on here and you will be lucky to get 20 of them into it.

I said in a post before, if I was playing to a crowd I didn't know, I would gamble on a box full of Maceo but wouldn't dare risk a box full of Maetrik.

I think you have got to be really into your dance to be able to listen to a lot of the stuff that is posted on here, alot of the time it is heads down, testosterone fuelled beats, which is also the reason you get a lot more blokes at nights out than girls, however, look at the boiler room videos when there is a decent DJ playing deep house, full of girls.

I think a lot of the negative comments on some of the sounds that are back at the moment, lots of vocals with a more soulful vibe, are also bit strange.
It is almost like people can only like one type of house music. I just don't get that, I love house, but I don't want to listen to Techno sitting around at home with my wife, and at the same time I do love some pretty techie feeling progressive when I am under the influence.

Not many DJs that I actually listen to anymore, Ricky Ryan seems to do no wrong, and even got a few people who are not into dance into his sets, now he is what I would call a deep house DJ, but he is deep house without it ever feeling cheesy, or like something in the charts, he has a tech edge that feels like it is music for the 'beautiful people'. I love Digweed when he is playing his more laid back stuff, Cavo Paradiso and Punto Del Este, CD1 and CD2 of Live in London, but not so keen on his harder stuff anymore, I still like Sasha, but can't be doing with that ping pong type delay he puts on everything. The people I like more than that are some of the guys who post on here, tighter sets and a lot of the time a more laid back at home groove, and considering I am listening to most of these sets at home that works for me.

My daughter is 18, I was 21 when I had her, and partying hard at the time, she has grown up with 1210's in the house and me playing House, but she has never been into it, but, she now lives in London and has started to go to some decent nights out, but they are playing deep house, cool deep house, and stuff that I would play myself, they all love it. Deep house will appeal to far more people than tech house or progressive or trance or tribal or any of that other stuff because more than anything else they are proper songs a lot of the time.
It was when she was back at Easter and I was playing one of my mixes and that Feeling Blue track from Silicone Soul came on that she said "I love this track, played it last night when we were down at brick lane." I replied 'So you're into your house now??"
Her answer was "I like all decent music."

It just seems that you don't have to be off your head to get Deep House in the way you might to get into many other sorts of house.
That is probably why a lot of the hands in the air EDM stuff is so big in the States, it is more like rock, alcohol will get you there with that stuff.

I was into pills long before I was into house, the raves were just a place to go and do pills, I didn't get into the music, and I mean properly into it, until I started listening to Ssaha, Digweed, Smokin Jo, Treble D, Fabio and all of those guys were playing lots more vocals.
Remember that Digweed played on his essential mix Bjork, Yello etc. loads of vocals and deep basslines.

This was one of Sasha's hits...

D ream - U R The Best Thing (sasha full edit) - YouTube

That was UK pop music. So when I hear people say 'Sasha has lost his way.' I just laugh, he has gone back to what he was doing in the early days.
Not saying that is deep house, but I reckon if you played that in a club it would get people moving far more than anything from his stuff from 96-2008.


Deep House can only be good for the dance scene imho, otherwise house will slowly die off.

I wouldn't really call Involv3r soulful as such, I think it has some really deep elements, but not really soulful.

I love more laid back vocal house and more chill stuff is what I honestly like listening to anymore (guess I'm getting old heh). I want to take some of my friends up to Chicago and hit up a proper nightclub with soundsystem and dj, but I'm going to be taking the girls to a Miguel Migs show, no way I'd take them to see Digweed, they would hate it.

Re: When you think of deep house...

I would have to agree as well.. very few of my friends like the hard stuff, and pretty much non of my female friends. Mark Farina seems to be a hit with the ladies as well as Migs.. so when I have a mixed group of people, we just do that and everyone is happy.

I am actually afraid to recommend the new live in Slovenia mix to any of my friends because I know that no one will understand. I think that's why I really like this board.. unless I am at party, this is the only place i can find people with like minded appreciation of music. I know.. sad, but true.

For example last week I was at a friends party, and everyone there liked EDM.. they are all kind of taking turns playing stuff on youtube, so they wanted me to play something and i played one of tracks from the the upcoming Slovinia mix.. yaaa..no.. "its too repetitive.., etc"

Most of the girls were from SF and they were all kept talking about "glitch" ... i don't even know what that is.. but they kept playing stuff that was apparently "glitchy" ..

I love deep house, but since I kind of missed the scene in the mid 90s to 2007-8, I am still enjoying the progressive/tech stuff quite a bit as well..

Re: When you think of deep house...

The Deep House must be what
the most I like at the moment.
besides the quality Progress.

Re: When you think of deep house...

is deep house the new progressive house??

[gizze]

Re: When you think of deep house...

I think it has combined, a lot of the deep house sounds like progressive played at 122bpm. In fact play some of the older 130bpm progressive at 120bpm and it will fit into many a deep house set no problem at all.
