I consider myself fairly uninformed when it comes to the many genres of house these days. I tend to call it all Progressive House. Apparently, I'm wrong.

Could any of you guys help me out with a better understanding of exactly what makes Deep House different? Technical bits and pieces, or whatever?

Cheers

Thanks for the link

Lol, I'm actually listening again to nefardec's latest set as we speak, which sorta prompted the thread

But I was looking for maybe a more technical definition, if there is one? Like, how would I be able to tell the difference between prog house and deep house, just by listening? Is there something specific? Or just the 'feel' of it?

They're pretty similar. Progressive is generally used to refer to the dark atmospheric stuff with long pads, echoes and spacey effects. Deep house is more often used to refer to the more funk and jazz-influenced variety. Deep house also tends for have more vocals and accoustic parts, whereas prog feels more dubby.

Deep Mix Moscow Radio

I'm not a house person but this radio station has some very neat stuff from time to time. I think you could define most of the music being played on that radio, or parts of it, as deep house.

I think it depends on the taste IMO, prog house has the reverbs, echos and synths...
they can range from 125 to 130 BPM's
I consider deep house those sounds about 120-125 BPM's, slow yet funky..

This is Deep House:



This is Progressive:

More prosaically, Deep House refers to the groove, the rhythm, the feeling of being chilled, laidback, and smooth/grooved (aka smooved). That's why it's called Deep House. It's a house thing. It's chiefly exported from San Francisco and Chicago. Things that make it extra special that differentiate it from other forms of house (including "progressive"): real instruments. Saxophones, cellos, pianos. It is closer in relation to acid jazz and the swanky, soulful downtempo scene than it does with anything coming out of the asscrack of bloated brit former trance labels.

I like Nick Holder, Sunday Brunch, Miguel Migs, Kevin Yost, Blue Six, The Rurals, Mark Farina, Solar House, Demarkus Lewis, Dimitri from Paris, Fred Everything, Ian Pooley, Eddie Amador. The San Francisco scene has got to be the best Deep House scene in the world. So chill, so real, so right.

ech... Whiteroom

Ishkur, wouldn't that Adam White & Andy Moor track be more along the lines of Progressive Trance than of Progressive House? Or is the line between them too blurry any more to really differentiate?

I thought this track would be a better example of Progressive House than the one you chose above:






(Unless I'm mistaken and this actually isn't Progressive House).
