Petit Biscuit he has always been a master of evocative dance music, but he’s outdone himself with his new single, “The Forest.”

The renowned producer collaborated with Maxime Chabroud, better known as the French YouTuber Amixem, to create the spellbinding song deep in a forest in just 24 hours. They then performed it live at the 2024 Beauregard Festival in the Loire Valley of France.

“I never set myself any challenges (let alone time constraints) when it comes to composing, but when Maxime called me to create a track in 24 hours and then play it the same week at a festival, I immediately loved the idea,” Petit Biscuit wrote on YouTube. “We had a lot of fun in the studio and on stage.”

Out now via Écurie, “The Forest” is a testament to Petit Biscuit’s ability to produce music that makes our most unshakeable emotions bubble up in just a matter of minutes. The haunting refrain, “It’ll never come back / This feeling won’t come back,” echoes as a stark reminder of the fleeting nature of life’s most precious moments.

Driven by a propulsive house beat, the track seems to challenge fate, urging us to seize the day and savor every fleeting sensation. Just like most of Petit Biscuit’s visceral music, it’s a sonic embodiment of the ancient adage, “carpe diem.”
