Acclaimed electronic music pioneers Deep Forest return with a captivating new remix of Seth Tabatznik’s “Shining For Love,” arriving July 17 via MOTH Music (Mother of The Heart). Helmed by visionary producer Eric Mouquet, the legendary project brings its signature fusion of organic instrumentation and electronic textures to the track, transforming it into an expansive melodic house journey that balances emotional intimacy with dancefloor energy.
Few electronic acts have left as lasting an impact as Deep Forest. Catapulted to international recognition through their landmark hit “Sweet Lullaby,” the Grammy Award-winning project helped redefine electronic music by seamlessly blending world music traditions with ambient and electronic production. Their self-titled debut earned gold and multi-platinum certifications across major markets, including the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, and Australia. In 1995, Deep Forest made history when Boheme received the Grammy Award, making them the first French musical act to earn the prestigious honor—a distinction shared only with fellow electronic icons Daft Punk.
Over the decades, Deep Forest has continued to expand its global influence through collaborations with acclaimed artists including Peter Gabriel, Josh Groban, Joe Zawinul’s Syndicate, Paco Sery, Rahul Sharma, and Lokua Kanza. Under Eric Mouquet’s creative direction, the project has become renowned for weaving together ethnic vocal recordings, immersive ambient soundscapes, and sophisticated electronic production into music that transcends genres, cultures, and geographical boundaries.
The remix shines a spotlight on Seth Tabatznik, who now resides in South Africa’s Western Cape after growing up in London. Drawing inspiration from ancient wisdom and contemporary songwriting, Tabatznik creates acoustic folk rooted in spirituality, nature, and personal reflection. Guided by mentorship from Nick Mulvey and influenced by guitar teacher Rainer Scheurenbrand, his music reflects a thoughtful blend of lived experience and introspective storytelling.
In Deep Forest’s reinterpretation, “Shining For Love” opens with a serene pan flute melody that floats above Tabatznik’s heartfelt vocal performance, establishing an atmosphere of quiet anticipation. As the remix unfolds, it gradually evolves into a soaring melodic house composition fueled by driving percussion, pulsating rhythms, and a deep, elastic bassline. Throughout the production, Deep Forest masterfully balances organic instrumentation with modern electronic textures, allowing the warmth of the flute to coexist effortlessly alongside euphoric club-ready energy. The result is a cinematic and emotionally resonant soundscape that will appeal to fans of artists such as Massano, Anyma, and ARTBAT.
Reflecting on the creative process, Deep Forest shared, “My intention was to create space around Seth’s voice, letting it breathe within a peaceful groove supported by flute textures and spacious delays. Every element was carefully placed to serve the feeling of the track, creating a warm sense of movement where rhythm, melody and atmosphere come together naturally. Just feeling good, moving your body, and dancing for love.”
With this reimagining of “Shining For Love,” Deep Forest once again demonstrates why the project remains one of electronic music’s most enduring and innovative forces. By blending timeless musicianship with contemporary melodic house production, the remix honors the emotional core of Seth Tabatznik’s original while introducing it to a new generation of listeners through an immersive and uplifting sonic experience.
