Deep Forest is a pioneering French musical group primarily known for their ambient and dance music with a significant world music influence. Formed in 1992 by Eric Mouquet and Michel Sanchez, the band gained fame for their unique blend of ethnic samples, electronica, and downtempo rhythms, often incorporating the voices and sounds from various indigenous cultures. Their sound, sometimes described as "ethno-introspective ambient world music," quickly captivated a global audience.

The duo's eponymous debut album, released in 1992, contained their breakout hit "Sweet Lullaby," which wove a haunting Solomons' Island melody with lush synthesizer landscapes, garnering widespread acclaim. Throughout the years, Deep Forest continued to innovate and produce music that crossed cultural barriers. With a discography that includes recent releases such as "Deep Ocean," "Burning," and "Allison Song," the band maintains its commitment to the fusion of ethnic influences with electronic music elements. The 2021 live album "Deep Forest Live at EMM Studio" showcases their enduring ability to create atmospheric live performances that resonate with audiences around the world. Even in their latest offerings, such as the "Eponymous (Version 2021)," Deep Forest remains a testament to the power of music as a universal language, blending modern sounds with traditional voices to create a transcendent auditory experience.
