Deep House is also known as a minimalistic type of House music. In the modern days, the Gospel is replaced with traditional vocals. In the early days of Deep House music, it has some bridge between Gospel vocals. In short, it uses the percussion elements of house, while adding on top of this the usage of acoustic elements like piano's, Rhodes, or Pianets (where the latter two are acoustic electronic instruments). While I have originally written a complete article about the genre house music itself, deep house borrows elements for this genre while mixing it with a blend of jazz or blues elements. In this article, I want to start off with writing down the basic ideas what the genre Deep House is all about.
Welcome back to another series of House music in Reason. So some of the patches that I am providing may not work in older versions (just saying). I might add, I will be using Reason 9 while writing this article. So I would like to share some different ideas that touch this realm. In Reason itself, there are a lot of different options that can be used to make use of a piano that could fit in a genre like Deep House itself. While real pianos are often filtered as such (to mimic the idea that it turns in to an electronic piano again). One thing I really like about this type of house music is that electronic pianos and real pianos play an important role in this genre.
But I will go more in depth about this in a later article. While a lot has changed during the progression of time (since is a genre that started to rise up during the '90s) a lot of the basics of the genre has still remained the same. At the same time, deep house is often seen as a more chilled down version of house music. This is what separates the origin of house music (since that genre was originally all based on using sampled material). While at the same time a lot of acoustic instrument is used. Where a lot of instruments that are used are soft picking type of sounds. Deep House is a genre that touches the realm of Jazz, Soul, and Blues. While during this week I have been starting to explore a genre of Deep House I thought it would be fun to mainly talk about different type of piano setups you could be used in this realm.
