Deep electronica, commonly referred to as "deep" is a sub-genre of the electronica umbrella genre. More specifically it is a fusion-genre between electroacoustics, IDM and experimental electronica.^{[citation needed]}

Originating in Germany a few artists fall into this category, for example Apparat and Ellen Allien on her album Orchestra of Bubbles.

Musical Features

Deep electronica is mainly characterized by an evident yet subtle beat, subtle atmospheric soundscapes lingering in the background and heavy electronic experimentation which cannot be specifically categorised.^{[citation needed]} The texture is usually quite minimal, yet deep means that it has rich details, colorful sounds, furthermore the original sounds are heavily masked by filters.^{[citation needed]}

Scene

Though there also exist proponents of this genre from outside of Germany, though they are less commonly known, for example the Scottish ensemble Boards of Canada occasionally ventures into the genre or Contemporary Sound in North America.^{[citation needed]}
