Deep house is a style of house music. It is loosely defined by the following characteristics that distinguish it from most other forms of house music:
relatively slow tempo (110–125 bpm);
de-emphasized percussion, including:
simpler drum machine programming;
gentle transitions and fewer "build-ups";
less "thumpy" bass drum sound;
less pronounced hi-hats on the off-beat;
sustained chords or other tonal elements that span multiple bars;
increased use of reverb, delay, and filter effects;
a featured solo R&B vocalist, often male, exhibiting soul, jazz, and/or gospel influences;
jazz influences or samples in the instrumentation.
