Deep Forest Visits the Urban Jungle

Cecilia Doreng-Stearns / July 16, 2010

This Saturday, July 17, France-based musicians Deep Forest are making their grand debut in New York City, bringing their special brand of electronic-influenced world music to Le Poisson Rouge. Eric Mouquet, Theirry Eliez, and DJ Mark Kamins will be performing their unique and innovative musical stylings that have been popularly described as “ethnic electronica”, seamlessly blending sounds more traditionally associated with world music, electronic beats and progressive concepts.

Deep Forest’s ability to combine native sounds originating from every corner of the world with extremely modern rhythms and high technology production is truly extraordinary and enables their music to reach across genres, appealing to vast audience of all aural tastes and nationalities. This mixing of some sounds that are almost primal in their raw representation of  human existence with the futuristic and cutting edge sounds that are associated with electronic beats creates an almost spiritual vibe to the music that not only makes the body move, but also appeals the soul. Deep Forest has received wide recognition for their artistry, not only in the form of a vast fan base (their albums have sold over 10 million copies), but also in the form of a Grammy Award, which they were awarded in 1996 for their album Boheme.
