Stemming from the 80s, deep house brings together the best of Chicago house, jazz-funk, and soul. The genre is further characterized by muted bass, Roland TR-909 percussion, pads, sophisticated chord progressions, as well as soulful vocals.
Starting from scratch is one way to nail that trademark deep house sound, especially if you’re confident in your producing skills. But even the best producers can benefit from expertly crafted sample packs and loops for inspiration.
In this guide, we look at the best house sample packs and loops.

Mainstream Deep House by Dropgun Samples
Deep house has deep roots. That said, if you’re chasing that modern sound, you don’t want to lean entirely on things that have already come and gone. That’s where Mainstream Deep House comes in.
This kit brings together an array of modern sounds inspired by the likes of Cash Cash, Tiesto, and Lost Frequencies.
This pack is massive. It features 1.44 GB of FX, vocal, drum, melodic loops, and one-shots. It also comes with 50 Xfer Records Serum presets for those who can’t get enough of the virtual advanced wavetable synthesizer.
While the modern sounds are nice, I must admit I’m not crazy about the vocals. That could just be me though.

Deep House Session by HY2ROGEN
With over 4 GB of content, Deep House Session’s HY2ROGEN is a gap filler, to say the least. Bringing a decidedly summery vibe to the genre, this library originally grew out of a house guitar sample pack. That said, the pack covers the spectrum – progressive, tropical, melodic, and more.

The kit is an excellent pick for just about any producer, but if you’re sensing a lack of guitar loops in your collection, you will probably get even more mileage out of this.
