BEFORE ANYONE PIPES IN WITH WRONG, STUPID, OR COMPLETELY IDIOTIC SUGGESTIONS, let me get something across first:
A track with a brooding bassline does not make it deep.
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. |
Indeed
Om and Naked are both great suggestions for anything Deep and West Coast. I'd also like to suggest the likes of Chicago legend Derrick Carter, Larry Heard, Joey Negro, Frankie Knuckles, Jason Hodges just to name a few.
