4 Reasons Why Deep House Music Is Here To Stay

Deep house and related genres (tropical, future, etc) are here to stay. There are 6 reasons for this which can be read below:

1. It’s listenable

Deep house is not only great music, it is great lounge music. You can listen to it in your room for its head-bobbing effects as well as just lying in bed. You can listen to tracks like this, “LarryKoek – Île De Luna” for the chilled effects of the summer, or tracks like “Helsloot – Rain (ft. Freya)” for the aforementioned head-bobbing effects.

If you have ever been to a North American shopping center, you will have likely heard the sounds of deep house. It is pleasant to the ear even for someone who does not like dance music. Everyone can listen to constant beats because it’s relatable to popular music that everyone’s heard, as opposed to listening to Dubstep which is much more diverse.

2. It’s playable at parties

Unlike big room house, deep house is danceable. Big room house is just jumping, but there is no real dancing. Luckily that isn’t the case for deep house. The “everybody f**king jump” phase is almost over, so partygoers will go back to being normal. Deep house's YouTube presence is huge, with so many deep house music blogs.

3. Wide range of subgenres

Some would consider tropical house and future house subgenres of deep house. Huge acts like Oliver Heldens and Tchami are pumping out new hits on a monthly basis nowadays, and their shows are attracting more and more listeners on a daily basis. The new Tchami track is just fire, and he has yet to release one of his biggest bangers (Missing You). Oliver Heldens just released Bunnydance, which is also killing dancefloors. It’s hard to imagine these two big players going away anytime soon.

Whilst future house is super energetic and bouncy, tropical house is made more for casual listening. Kygo is the leading player in tropical house music, with multiple songs of 20 million or more views on YouTube. He played at TomorrowWorld 2014, and his future success is guaranteed. You can expect Kygo to become huge among the mainstream media.

With all this in mind, it is important to be able to categorize genres correctly. Tropical house has exotic sounds and is typically slower at about 115 to 120 beats per minute, as opposed to deep house’s 120 to 125. Future house is usually 126 beats per minute, albeit every producer has variations.

4. Relatable to pop

Deep house isn’t pop. But it definitely has some similarities to the huge genre. Soulful vocals are a common feat of deep house songs, as well as pop songs. Repetitive beats are another similarity.

In conclusion, deep house is only going to further expand to the mainstream due to its relativity and versatility, as well as casual listening experience.
