There is something so profound about deep house music. Maybe it’s the underground 1990’s rave vibe you get, or the seemingly instinctual connection with the roots of all electronic music while listening to it. As stated in the description of a group I’m in:

“Deep is not a "genre", it’s not a "sound", and it most definitely motherfuckin isn't a variation of "house". Deep is the sound of your footwork pounding the floor at a filthy after hours. Deep is the smell of sweat, cigarettes and spilt vodka emanating softly off of her. Deep is the reverberation of the speaker in your chest. Deep is everything. Keep it deep & touch me gentlyyyyyyyy.”

Kind makes you imagine being in Germany in the 90’s at the peak of house, buying cheap liquor and drugs and heading to an underground party in some shady basement with even shadier characters, right? You can literally trace back the breadcrumbs to the origin of house music in the early 1980’s in Chicago, all the way through Europe in the 1990’s (eurodance anyone?), to the birth of deep house and then the controversially, revolutionary big room house genre now that I think almost everyone has mistakenly believed to be the original house sound now (Hardwell can go stuff it). Well I am here to prove you bandwagoners wrong. Deep is not dead, it is thriving, perhaps more in the underground, but it is coursing through the veins of the house scene still. Artists such as Pirate Copy, ZHU, Weska and many more are starting to bloom and they will not be silent as you can hear from some examples below:

Remember, keep it deep and touch me gentlyyyyyyyy…
