Alright folks, look’s like we’re all taking Dillon Francis’ (DJ Hanzel’s) advice and going one deeper. Deep house has been around for years, just like many other sub-genres of house music, but is now getting some major attention. But there’s no way you can fit an entire guide to deep house in one post, we just thought it would be helpful to showcase some of the best. Hailed as EDM’s savior, a lot of electronic music fans are quickly gravitating towards the more groovy, bass line centered deep house.

We already talked about some of the things killing EDM, maybe some of these reasons are pushing fans to go deep? Who knows? Just have an open mind and enjoy music out of your comfort zone.
