Deep House Events This Week in Amsterdam

About Deep House

Deep house is a sophisticated subgenre of house music that originated in the 1980s Chicago scene, blending elements of jazz-funk and soul with electronic beats. The genre is defined by its use of lush arrangements, complex melodies, and a frequent reliance on Rhodes pianos and Hammond organs over steady Roland TR-909 drum patterns. Operating at a moderate tempo of 120 to 125 beats per minute, it prioritizes a hypnotic, atmospheric mood and emotional depth over the aggressive impact of peak-time club tracks. This style serves as a bridge between the organic warmth of soul music and the mechanical repetition of house, resulting in an introspective yet danceable sound.
