Deep house music is known for tempos from 110 to 125 BPM, muted basslines, spacious use of percussion elements soft keyboard sounds, use of advanced chord structures, ambient mixes, and soulful, predominantly female vocals. Lyrics usually specialise in positive/uplifting or forlorn modern blues lyrics. the utilization of vocals persisted in deep house as new sorts of house music often abandoned them, but as of 2019, this difference has largely disappeared. Influences of jazz music are often found within the use of more complex chords than simple triads -7ths, 9ths, 13ths, suspensions, alterations- and fewer mainstream chord progressions, giving compositions a rather dissonant yet pleasant feel. Standard drops and buildups found in mainstream EDM are atypical in deep house.

Slower, more liquid grooves, and a smooth, stylish, chic demeanor make deep house a more mature, sensuous, simmering metaphor for sex than other genres of electronic danceroom music .[citation needed] It rarely reaches a climax, but lingers on as a cushty , hypnotic and relaxing pulse, perfect for the tiny , dimly lit nightclub.

Deep house was largely pioneered by Chicago producers like Marshall Jefferson (On the House) and Larry Heard (Mr. Fingers) and with tracks like "Mystery of Love" (1985) and "Can you are feeling It?" The jazzy sound became more common thanks to the favored use of gentler, more organic (yet still synthesizer based) production and instrument sounds. Author Richie Unterberger has stated that Heard's deep house sound moved house music faraway from its posthuman tendencies back towards the luxurious , soulful sound of early disco music (particularly that of old Philadelphia International and Salsoul records).

In the 2000s and 2010s, the genre remained very fashionable . By 2014, however, the perception of the genre was leading to a way that some House music was being labeled Deep inappropriately, and therefore the term has since been wont to encapsulate various sorts of bassline-driven house music because the genre evolves from its historical origins.
