Gesaffelstein, born Mike Lévy, is a lauded French techno artist and DJ, known for his dark and magnetic take on electronic music. His journey into the annals of electro notoriety began in the early 2010s when he emerged on the French techno scene with a sound that merged the traditional electronic beats with an industrial and almost gothic edge, setting him apart from his contemporaries. Gesaffelstein's production prowess earned widespread recognition through his seminal debut album, "Aleph," released in 2013, which solidified his place in the electronic music pantheon and spawned critically acclaimed tracks like "Pursuit."

Continuing his ascent in the music industry, Gesaffelstein has collaborated with high-profile artists and contributed to significant works beyond his own projects. His production credits include tracks on Kanye West’s "Yeezus," hinting at his versatile appeal across genres. In 2019, he returned with his sophomore album, "Hyperion," a venture that showcased his ability to blend the lines between techno, electro, and pop, manifested in electrifying collaborations such as "Blast Off" featuring Pharrell Williams. Through his potent remixes like "A Palé" (Gesaffelstein Remix) and expansive EPs such as "Novo Sonic System," he persists in pushing the boundaries of his dark, enigmatic sound, all while solidifying his status as a pioneering force in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.
