About Gesaffelstein
Gesaffelstein, born Mike Levy, is a French DJ, who first started exhibiting musical talents as a teenager. Speaking about his inspiration in an exclusive interview with Vice website, the DJ stated that Kraftwerk was his primary inspiration:
"Kraftwerk, definitely. You know, I discovered electronic music with techno with a Green Velvet track. And then I discovered Kraftwerk, who invented electronic music... I know that I’m fan of them since I’m, like, 16 or 17. And they inspire me a lot today, too. The visions they have for their projects—visuals, videos, covers, you know, everything."
The DJ first rose to prominence with his debut studio album, Aleph, which was released on October 28, 2013, via Parlophone and OSWLA label. The album peaked at number 30 on the French album chart.
Speaking about the album in the same Vice interview on January 29, 2024, Gesaffelstein elaborated on the thought process behind the album, stating—
"It was all about the beginning. Aleph means that. It mean the beginning. It means the alpha. You know, you have the alpha and the omega. And it was the idea of the album to create something new from nowhere, you know. Like the Big Bang."
The DJ continued—
"The most important thing for me was that I wanted to have a sound really identified. At the same time, it’s like when you meet a guy or a girl, you know—it can be happy. It can be angry. It can be sad. And the same with my music. It can be happy music, or, sad, violent, or melancholy."
Aside from his solo work, Gesaffelstein also worked on the soundtrack album of the movie film Disorder, which was released on September 11, 2015. The film is also called Maryland in French.
