Deep Forest is a French music project that originally began as a duo consisting of Michel Sanchez and Éric Mouquet.[2] They compose a style of world music, sometimes called ethnic electronica, mixing ethnic with electronic sounds and dance beats or chillout beats. Their sound has been described as an "ethno-introspective ambient world music".[3]
They were nominated for a Grammy Award in 1994 for Best World Music Album,[4] and in 1995 they won the Award for the album Boheme.[5] The group also became World Music Awards Winner – French group with the highest 1995 world sales. Their albums have sold over 10 million copies. Sanchez started his own career as a singer in 2005, while Mouquet continued working under the band's original name.[1]
