Mike Lévy better known as Gesaffelstein, born 1985 in Lyon, France is a French techno artist and DJ. He produced two tracks on Yeezus, the sixth album of American rapper Kanye West, including the lead single "Black Skinhead" and "Send It Up", both tracks produced with West, Daft Punk, Brodinski and Mike Dean. He has worked alongside and remixed tracks for such artists as varied as Tiga, ASAP Rocky, Miss Kittin and Lana Del Rey.
A quick glimpse at Gesaffelstein’s professional mythology is all it
takes to understand the heart of his appeal to West: a shared interest
in art and fashion a personal aesthetic possessed of palpable intensity
and ripe with darkness and violence and an eye towards intellectual
concerns broader than music. Gesaffelstein debut album Aleph fuses those
pre-existing aspirations to ideas about style that feel directly derived
from his work with West with its cover a jewel case containing a gold
disc, the case overlaid with complex patterns reminiscent of
circuitry serving as the most obvious hat tip.
