Bamboo Forest

Bamboo Forest is the iconic project of Parisian DJ and producer Stéphane Dureisseix. Created in 1996, the project blends Goa trance with an intense and fast-paced morning rhythm, bringing a unique French twist to psychedelic trance, an elegant fusion of hypnotic grooves, immersive melodies, and nostalgic synths, with deeply textured soundscapes. Steph began his musical journey at the age of 16 by forming a rock band, and before dedicating himself to jazz, when he began studying harmony and composition by taking piano lessons. Originally conceived as a solo project, Bamboo Forest evolved into a duo with the addition of Yann Hénaff, who collaborated throughout the project until the self-titled second album, "Bamboo Forest," in 2003. Having released six full-length albums and over 60 releases on respected psytrance labels such as Flying Rhino, Dragonfly, Moon Spirits, Spirit Zone, Spiral Trax, Vision Quest, TIP World, 3D Vision, Neurobiotic, Avatar Records, Divinity Records and Proton Brazil, Stéphane has cemented his place as a major figure in the global psychedelic scene. Recognized for their complex rhythms, lush sound design, and especially their unmistakable bass lines, Bamboo Forest has captivated dance floors around the world, earning a reputation as one of the most respected and influential artists in the psytrance genre.
