Deep house is a sub-genre of electronic dance music characterized by upbeat tempos, very deep basslines, and prominent kick drums on every beat. It typically features minimal or no singing, instead using beats over sampled drum sounds layered by producers to create complex, full-spectrum mixes tailored for large club sound systems. As a form of "club music", deep house is most commonly played by DJs at up-tempo speeds meant for dancing and incorporates elements like drums, percussion, melodic leads, basslines, and sometimes vocals. Popular artists in the genre include David Guetta, Avicii, Calvin Harris, and Daft Punk.
