The Best of 2022 Deep House Tracks

We did all of the heavy lifting for you to bring together the top 25 deep house tracks released this past year.

Before we share this juicy, dance-worthy chart, let’s dive into the background and history of deep house music. First and foremost, deep house is a sub-genre of house music. It blends components of classic Chicago house with elements of jazz, house, and soul from the 80’s.

Larry Heard (aka Mr. Fingers) has been dubbed the pioneer of deep house, with classics like “Mystery of Love” released in 1985 and “Can You Feel it” released in 1986.

Deep house is characterized by four specific elements: the four-on-the-floor quarter note kick pattern, the beats per minute (bpm) ranging from 110 to 125, the notable influence from funk, soul, and jazz, and many of the iconic deep house tracks have that punchy sound attributed to the Roland TR-909 drum that was released in the 1980’s.

Our Best of 2022 chart has a fantastic spread of delicious, juicy tracks compiled for your listening pleasure.

We’ve got sounds released by notorious labels like Glasgow Underground, Defected, and Dirtybird, as well as labels and imprints like Hungarian Hot Wax, Enormous Tunes, Cecille, 8bit-Records, and PIV (to name a few).
