Deep Tech House is a genre under the house and techno umbrella. There are many micro-genres associated with house but Deep Tech was a combination of both intrigue and personal interest.


The invention of the genre is disputed to be anywhere from 2009-11 but one thing that isn't disputed how the genre came to be. The genre split from the grime scene which came about around a decade earlier in East London, around that time as a rebellion of its "Post code wars" hostility. The genre strayed away from its often violent counterpart to focus on the music, throw it all on the dance floor vibe. The genre sees a British take on 120-124BPM beats with 4x4 grooves, usually mixed with basslines that act as the melodic lead.

The genre stems from rhythms of the grime seen while intertwining with samples from of classic acid house type synths, reggae chats and rave tropes.


Little Man by RS4, and X5 Dubs' eerie 'Go DJ' are examples that clearly show signs of these samples and rhythms.

Mark Radford is one DJ who is highly disputed as one of the biggest forces in driving the new genre, who took the genre with inspiration from Booka Shade tracks and took it mainstream. What made the genre stand out was the low end base.
