INFORMATION ABOUT HOUSE MUSIC
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_musichttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_music
"House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the American city of Chicago in the early 1980s. It was initially popularized circa 1984 in Chicago, but beginning in 1985, it fanned out to other major cities such as Detroit, Toronto, New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Montreal, Manchester,[1] Miami, London,[1] and Paris. It then began to influence popular music in Europe... Since the early to mid-1990s, house music has been infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide.

Early house music was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive 4/4 beats, rhythms centered around drum machines,[2] off-beat hi-hat cymbals, and synthesized basslines. While house displayed several characteristics similar to disco music, it was more electronic and minimalistic,[2] and the structured music's focus around a repetitive rhythm was more important than the song itself. House music today, while keeping several of these core elements, notably the prominent kick drum on every beat, varies a lot in style and influence, ranging from the soulful and atmospheric deep house to the more minimalistic microhouse. House music has also fused with several other genres creating fusion subgenres,[2] such as Euro house, tech house, and electro house."...

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_house
"Deep house is a subgenre of house music that originated in the 1980s, initially fusing elements of Chicago house with 1980s jazz-funk and touches of soul music.

Deep house is known for complex melody, complex chords underlying most sequences, and a soul, ambient, or lounge vibe to the vocals (if any). In the early compositions (1988—89), influences of jazz music were most frequently brought out by using more complex chords than simple triads (7ths, 9ths, 13ths, suspensions, alterations) which are held for many bars and give compositions a slightly dissonant feel. The use of vocals became more common in deep house than in many other forms of house music. Sonic qualities include soulful vocals (if vocals are included), slow and concentrated dissonant melodies, smooth, stylish, and chic demeanor.[citation needed] Deep house music rarely reaches a climax, but lingers on as a comfortable relaxing sound"...

The African American English meaning of "deep" is "profound", inspirational", something that is (or someone who is) "deep" causes us to think; to ponder on "heavy duty" thoughts or matters. And/or something that is (or someone who is "deep" causes us to feel more than we usually feel.

Also, the African American English meaning of the word "dope" [that is found on the mix cover in the 2nd example below along with the word "deep"] is "very good". "Ill" is another African American slang word for "dope" which has the same positive vernacular meaning. Maybe that's because the other form of dope makes you ill. (I'm only being a little bit facetious with that last statement).

PLEASE BE AWARE: Some sub-genres of House include profanity and sexually explicit language and sexual explicit visuals [in YouTube mixes.] Also, there are clean and x rated ["dirty house"] versions of some House songs, and some songs that don't have x rated language have sexually suggestive language. Also, be aware that most YouTube video comment threads contain profanity and sexually explicit language.
