Deep Tech?
Long (very long) feature in The Guardian (UK) about a largely (they say) London-based genre or sub-genre or whatever called (they say) Deep Tech.
http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/dec/30/how-deep-tech-became-clubbings-biggest-success-story
Being an ex-pat cowboy (in all senses) I know little of it or the differentiation between it and many other variants of what (to me) was the House into Garage into Jungle phenom etc.
Many links to many examples. Listened to some. Accomplished, but not anything I fell off my chair about.
I look to the brethren for insight.

I dunno, doesn't sound like anything new. Kinda sounds like when House producers started getting into Techno. Early Techno.
Ah bollocks...
Just a bunch of Londoners trying to create a new genre while failing miserably.
Indeed it's nothing new, it's really just bassline house imho, which has the garage swing built into the 4/4 , add the hollow basslines and a few samples here and there
You can't call it anything other than bass music, it's not really techno, not really house, not really garage
People always try and call things new names for the sake of trying to create a buzz around a supposed new genre to make a bit of dosh, create more segregation amongst club goers..
Bring back the tribal gatherings where you'd have jungle, hardcore, techno, house etc all under one roof , or should I say many tents in the same field
But..poor rob from universe was forced to quit the game because of the Scouse super on owners who wanted the fields for themselves and their bank accounts and thus the underground was forced well, back underground and now you have people like tiesticles and van burritos running the world with no skill at all..
Gosh...what is the world coming too...
Thank goodness I can stay at home with my iPad and gadget and just keep out of this malarkey
Lol
No. It's great and it is certainly its own form, and sounds/feels nothing like bassline house. It has that intangible, massive vibe that you get from early techstep, Ghost Recordings, bleep & bass etc. No idea if it really has brought the regions together the way that article described, but you can hear the history of UK rave embedded in the mixes and it's a lovely thing. Also like that it is slow as hell compared to previous genres.
Bleh, damnit. Been using the phrase deep tech to describe my more upbeat music to people, a mix of tech house, dub, and deep house. Nothing at all like this, now I gotta think of a new name.
@taroface Well said.
I'm old and generally in the way but that's house music. Liked most of what I heard on the site well enough but it sounded like same stuff I danced to near the turn of the 90s. Even the sounds.
I have to say I know next to nothing about this whole genre but I find the names of the differing (?) sub-genres to be somewhat intriguing - 'Moombahton' being particularly note-worthy ! Before anyone shouts at me for confusing said genre with deep tech, as I said 'Council house' means as much to me as 'galactic trance'
I've lived in a council house, but my music did not improve..shucks
Hah - I went to 2 of those as a student. They were pretty great. And you're right about the diversity of music there. The Prodigy, Moby, Carl Cox along with lots of more underground stuff, jungle, house etc. etc... They were amazing really...
Those were the days
.
Bollocks, sorry, have to disagree and how can u even compare it to El B ghost recordings lol , what to speak of techstep..
I hear nothing but trendy elitist dilution in this sound mate, no offense
How about "electronic music"? Do we really need to pidgeonhole , classify and create sub genre after genre?
Maybe we should just call our iOS stuff "touch music" and be done with it?
Actually that sounds rather good ( says he rushing off to phone the trademark copywriting agents!!!"
Yes mate, ultimately it's all house in some form..it started with house and will end there , full circle
Yes they were, an original universal vibe, now it's all segregated ..
I DJ'd at a perception rave in bath, 10 000 people, was shitting myself but it was wicked lol
Finally, something I can get behind. How about shortening it to just 'music'?
Think touch music is an old idea..... Guitar, Piano etc etc etc
Being an old git, it all confuses the hell outta me! I know what I like, when I hear it, but when my wife's asks me what it is....I'm stumped!
I know I like most the beats and electronic sounds, but often the lyrics and lyric samples mean jack to me. Maybe I am just too old?
I do appreciate that most lyrics of the seventies, eighties and nineties didn't make much sense either, well not that I could tell.
So I'm not dissing the music, but this sub genre thing....well I do kinda think it's mostly to hype a fashion trend.
Also, I am from the future and I can tell you now....your kids are going to just love Monster Raving Cyber Donkey music....I kid you not!
Public transport music?
They have to keep subway music at low beat levels or the escalators wear out quicker!
Lol, trick question right?
No...
Yes it's just hype, some producers and promoters sat round a table getting stoned, and decided to coin a new genre and are laughing at the sheeple all the way to the bank..
Thanks @Johnnygoodyear. I've never heard of tech house so there's my hip, trendy cool status blown.
I quite like the examples there, as I was into the early warp (records) breaks bass and bleeps, and of course I saw the rave scene explode, so I'm accustomed to lo-fi sample patchwork songs also. This new trendy style seems to blend all that with a more modern (garage?) beat.. If that helps !
In a sense, labels for musical genres are fairly secondary to the music, but we seem to like them nonetheless.
I can't comment sensibly regarding the 'depth of the house', but I do get a tad irked when people refer to some work as 'ambient music' (which is my bag), when I feel it's totally unsuitable to be described as such. Pointless, perhaps, but there you go.
Ambience is synonymous with atmoshere...so any kind of atmospheric take on music can be classified reasonably as ambient. It's not just the Brian eno type stuff with no beats that's ambient these days, it's faaar broader in scope than that
Of course it is, do you know what you're talking about ! (only joking)
Actually I'm very aware of what is described as ambient these days...
People love hype but as much as that's true people are ferociously passionate about music so if something gains traction it's too late to declare it as B.S.
It might not be for everyone and it might not last long but then again it's arguably not for everyone and not meant to last.
Perhaps some of these niche-genre movements are sideways rather than detectably forward but it's all part of the flow and thank the stars that it all keeps flowing.
@JohnnyGoodyear - the audio in those Guardian drops sounds real close to deep house with a techy palette to these ears. Nice refined bounce to some of them that's got us doing a little chair dancing here.
Word @proppa.
I think there's a fairly consistent pattern in all manner of popular music that sees it simplifying itself every once in a while.
It's true, we really are sons of a 'loop da loop era'. Fashions come around and go around.
I think that because I was into bleep tunes (1989-92 ish) and rave, I can hear those elements in the Guardian examples. Anyone who wasn't into those tunes back then will struggle to hear the elements that remind them of that era.
