Talk:Deep house

I think this article is not in the spirit of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a source of information about particular subjects. Such topics such as scientific or other have extremely in-depth points, history, and future of the subject. The user learns a great deal by reading the article. "Relatively slow tempo" does nothing for the average user to learn about the very specific genre of music. Any attempt to add to this article is immediately removed to the same un-informative paragraph and links to dj's that are not the founders of the music.

Garage a.k.a. Deep House

I think this article should be fused with the Garage music article because Garage is Deep House and vise versa. Odd Faden 04/14/2006

Garage is not Deep House. Very fundamentally different. If anyone can fix the link from Lisa Shaw's name to a bondage model who uses that pseudonym that would be nice.

From Fraser:

This article possesses a number of quite significant errors:

First, concerning the so-called characteristics of the deep house sound, many deep house tracks have a 'thumpy' bass drum sound, thus making them practicable for a dancefloor; although there is a wide use of effects employed in the production of deep house music, the use of filters etc., is no more prevalent than in other sub-genres of house, for instance disco house (where filters are used ad nauseum) and dub house (where reverb and echo are pronounced).

In contrast to the traits mentioned in the article that characterise the deep house sound, I would argue that the most defining characteristic of the music is its mood, being typically abstract and atmospheric, more concerned with taking the listener on a mental expedition that making a dancefloor move.

Lastly, the statement that "deep house music is often synonymous with 'Lounge Music'" is quite simply untrue and should not be kept in this article. Deep house music, although often possessing loungey characteristics, for example, vibraphones, smooth rhodes keys etc., never has and never will be seen as equivalent to lounge music. I am really quite shocked that such misinformation was put on the site; the person who wrote the article, whilst possessing some knowledge of the music, is well wide of the mark in a number of his or her comments.

I am basing all my judgments on being a DJ and avid deep house record collector for 10 years.

Agreed ^^ Also the second half of the article waffles on like the blurb from a flyer. Needs to be rewritten. Tamlyn 01:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Recursive link

What's the point of linking every occurence of "Deep House" in the article to the article itself? This does not make any sense. --84.149.238.31 03:35, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Lists

I've cleaned up the lists in this article by removing all redlinks, and some of the articles blue-linked were either unrelated or speedy G12 candidates which somehow slipped through newpage patrol. Embedded lists should really be avoided. - Zeibura ^Talk 00:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

sorry, but this whole article is useless and misleading. it doesn't give any info on what deep house is and furthermore it makes plain _wrong_ statements (deep house is atonal? deep house is same as lounge music?) it would be better the article would be totally deleted instead of having this here. i'll be glady writing something on deep house being an insider of the genre for almost 20 years, but i don't have the time at all presently.

do not agree^^

Some of the red links removed are of individuals who have made immense contributions to deep house & house music's origins, namely Timmy Regisford. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.59.64.118 (talk) 20:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Basement Jaxx

Can we really class Basement Jaxx as deep house? Maybe a little of what they do, but most of it isn't. 150.203.230.8 (talk) 10:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree, Basement Jaxx is just house or dance music, not particularly deep house. 208.176.169.89 (talk) 06:06, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
