No, seriously, what is it?

This.

Listen to Deep Burnt by Pepe Bradock if you want an example.

Deep house as a genre was coined around the late 1980s for a music style matching the description above, some fantastic tracks from that time can be found.

About three years ago it got picked up as a name again, this time describing any old commercial bollocks featuring the pop stars of the moment - this stuff I'd avoid as being pale imitators of the stuff from 25 years earlier.

Here's some good ones from the first lot, some of them veer into latin or acid house but all anthems of the era:

Debbie Malone - Rescue Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ax_g0xno10

Sueno Latino - Sueno Latino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKexedNfRow

808 State - Pacific https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk_9BVA5sbs

I'd suggest the OP just go to iTunes or similar and sample the "best of" deep house albums to get a general idea. Purists would probably disagree with some of the choices but at least it's a starting point. I recently discovered I actually like the style and I'm fifty plus.

House music that is moody, less in your face, and more atmospheric than anthemic. The sort of stuff you would expect to be played early in a DJ mix rather than towards the end.

An example would be Aqua by Aril Brikha:
