Slick, shadowy deep house with a noir edge. Minimalist grooves and breathy, spoken-word vocals perfect for late-night city wandering and dimly lit dancefloors.
Forrest (often stylized as Forrest.) is a Canadian electronic artist who emerged as a prominent voice in the 2010s deep house and tech-house scenes.
His sound identity is defined by a unique blend of minimalist, groove-oriented production and a distinctive vocal style that favors breathy, spoken-word delivery over traditional singing. This 'noir-house' aesthetic often explores themes of urban isolation, late-night encounters, and nocturnal restlessness. His career saw a significant rise with the release of the 'Creep EP' in 2013, which solidified his position as a collaborator of choice for producers like Amine Edge & DANCE. Culturally, Forrest sits at the nexus of the 'G-House' movement and the more refined, atmospheric deep house scene of Europe. Critical consensus highlights his ability to make club music feel personal and cinematic, often praising the 'coolness' and restraint of his arrangements. His influence is felt in the way modern house producers integrate deadpan vocals into high-fidelity electronic textures.
