Deep Forest is a French music project that originally began as a duo consisting of Michel Sanchez and Éric Mouquet, who created a style of world music, sometimes called ethnic electronica, mixing ethnic with electronic sounds and dance or chillout beats. Deep Forest's sound has been described as an "ethno-introspective ambient world music". The project's self-titled debut album was nominated in 1994 for the Best World Music Album Grammy, and in 1996, they won the same award for Boheme. Deep Forest's albums have sold over ten million copies. Sanchez left the project in 2005 to focus on a solo career, while Mouquet has continued working under the band's original name. As of 2025, the project has released 13 studio albums as well as a number of live records and several soundtracks and compilations.
