Deep house is a style of house music that originated in Philadelphia and New York City. It is usually set to a slower tempo than other styles of house, and it is more focused on jazz and soulful influences. Deep house
is often simpler than other sub genres of house in that it typically has fewer build ups and less intricate drum patterns.
Some would say that the essence of deep house lies in the extended grooves that are left when one strips away the vocals and organ sounds of traditional house music. Driven by a deep throbbing bass line, deep house is an expression of positivity rooted in the African-American soul tradition.
