It was inevitable for an ordinary young man from Lyon that electronic music with which he started to be interested as a hobby had become indispensable with the talent he had as the years went by. In the previous months, Gesaffelstein, who makes us feel the darkness in our bones with his live performances, has unfortunately announced to his fans on Facebook that he would be performing live for the last time at the Coachella Festival. This news might be upsetting for all of us. However, the rumor has it that he will once again rock the dance floors with the DJ set.
No matter how much he acts like an ordinary person in his real life, Mike Lévy, whose stage name is Gesaffelstein, does not hold back from showing his unique music talent when it comes to the DJ booth. The French techno monster that has worked before with celebrities such as Tiga and Lana Del Rey portrays his music on the stage as delicate as a painter.
Although it was at the age of 16 when he first started to be interested in music, Levy from Lyon had not seen it as a profession. As time went by and he became more involved with this field, he took his first professional step in 2007 and released an EP with his friends. However, the actual beginning for him was when he released the EP titled “Variations”. Magnetizing everyone with the dark, depressive and deep sound he produces and his “suit up” style, Gesaffelstein is treated like a king when he comes on the stage. The musician whose magical touches are found in Kanye West’s tracks “Send It Up” and “Black Skindhead”, has achieved one of his most spectacular performances at “BBC Radio 1 Live at Sonar 2012” where he shared the booth with Brodinski.
