it could be worse, he’s at least worked with a lot of people i do know of
Mike Lévy (born 24 June 1985), known professionally as Gesaffelstein (German: [ɡəˈzafl̩ʃtaɪn]), is a French music programmer, DJ, songwriter and producer from Lyon. Often called the “Dark Prince of Techno”,[1][2] he has worked alongside artists such as Lady Gaga, the Weeknd, Daft Punk, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Electric Youth, Haim, Miss Kittin, the Hacker, Jean-Michel Jarre, Lil Nas X, Charli XCX, Pharrell Williams and Chuck Ellis.
If you get the chance to see him live, do it.
He looks like his tickets cost 100€ just to listen to his playlist
I saw him at a 3-day festival, which was expensive but there were dozens of performers. No idea how much a ticket price for a show of just him would be. He doesn’t seem to tour often. When I saw him I was pretty sure he was a techno wizard from another dimension but I was very high.
Me sitting here thinking i can relate and don’t know Gaffelstein. Looking at the videos in the chat. Turns out he is in the dark techno list i was listening to just a few minutes ago and I liked his stuff for years.
Long about the mid 90s for me
Idk if I’d call Gesaffelstein a celebrity. Also Gesaffelstein is fucking awsome? Do people not know Gesaffelstein? Serious. If you don’t know now you know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRSijEW_cDM&list=RDoRSijEW_cDM&start_radio=1
You’re welcome.
A cropped version of this video was my introduction to Gesaffelstein.
woah, i watched most of the thing before i realized the birds are bobbing out of time with the music, a bit faster, if they didn’t switch the frames are realign they’d be completely out of phase several times.
Lol
No clue who this is. I thought you’d comment was a joke, but no idea.
I heard of Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein! /s
Definitely one of the most impactful music videos I’ve seen, this is why I know who Gesaffelstein is
Agreed, its pretty jarring.
“Woah! Is that fucking blackface, dude?”
More than that you just don’t care enough to go look them up.
Gesaffelstein is hardly a pop culture figure, though; I don’t think many gen-z kids know him. But he’s an absolute icon of the 2010s dark techno scene.
The Conspiracy singles were legendary. My Conspiracy Pt. 1 record has a More Cowbell joke on it, which I love. Weird record though, it’s 33 1/3 on one side and 45 on the other. And it doesn’t say that anywhere on the record, so it took me years before realizing I was listening to a slowed down Hatred. I kinda love the slowed down version, funny how that happens :P
Gesaffelstein goes hard, I agree.
I kinda love the slowed down version, funny how that happens :P
Day Man!
As a Gessafelstein fan I am so surprised anyone knows who he is, hell I barely know who he is
I’m more of a Flem’arty man myself.
I’ve never not been there. I hate how people flock to celebrities… A few names have stuck, but that’s it.
ITT old people shaking their fist at the sky
I miss the good old days of non-political music like Rage Against the Machine
The top comment on this thread is frying me. Literally the most stereotypical “kids these days” comment I’ve ever read.
I had to read all the comments before I believed this was an actual artist and not a photo of a mannequin placeholder.
i dont get it. Anyone please explain ?
I’m almost 40. Who the fucks this guy? I can’t keep up with all these new kids and I’m old enough to just not give a rats ass.
Ah let me look it up, Gesaffelstein is a 40 year old music producer, dj, songwriter out of France. Very kid, so young, much wow!
I’m in my fifties, but I’m still hip to what’s groovy. I know the name of the big artists. Uh … Wet Ass Pussy. The uh, those monitor head brothers … Around the World. Um … Billy Eyelash. The uh … the K-Pops!
Daft Punk died 5 years ago
Don’t forget Justin the Beaver.
