Deep House basics
General genre knowledge — not from the chart above.
4 things that make a deep house track work
- 1Let the melodic lead evolve. Shifting chords beat a static loop.
- 2Be patient, but not too patient. The groove should be clear in the first 30 seconds.
- 3Keep the low end clean and out of the melody's way.
- 4Leave real space in the break before the return.
Deep House questions
What separates deep house from melodic techno?
Deep house is slower (118–124 BPM) and warmer, with jazz and soul chords. Melodic techno runs a bit faster, with darker, more synthetic sound design.
Is a long deep house track a problem?
Extended cuts are normal in the genre. For short clips, pick the 15 seconds where the main melody and groove sit together.
Where do the numbers on this page come from?
From Songbrain's public leaderboard: songs that artists uploaded for analysis and chose to show publicly. Reference tracks from commercial releases are not counted. Each song gets a 0–100 virality score from its audio. The page refreshes weekly, and a genre's chart opens once it has 10 songs.
