We all know that New York City is known for it infamous ball drop counting down the final 60 seconds […]

On Tuesday, our favorite suited Frenchman will return to the busiest of cities for his first New York show since the release of Aleph. The show, at the vivacious Webster Hall, will feature the master of techno with his live set up in tow. Since the event’s announcement just a few short weeks ago, we have had just enough time to mentally and physically prepare ourselves for the unrelenting forces of Gesaffelstein.

Gesaffelstein live features an unparalleled production set up, certain to satisfy our cravings for live techno. There’s nothing like walking into a gritty, no-rules venue with sweat dripping down the walls and bass pounding out of every inch of the speakers. No doubt, the venue is a perfect foundation on which to build a powerful Gesaffelstein performance. In addition, the mausoleum-like marble centerpiece will set the scene and provide the podium for the producer to relay his musical message. Now we know that the expression ‘Gesaffelstein’ means the perfection of art, and this Tuesday, we will see the seamless fusion of musical art and visual art in true Gesaffelstein fashion.

Equipped with a full pack of cigarettes and an undying appreciation for techno, I prepared myself for this review under somewhat unconventional circumstances. No stranger to the unreasonable hours of the night and the sense of ambivalence it evokes, I found myself clocking in at over 52 hours of no sleep. Although substantially unhealthy, I eventually concluded that this strange but encompassing state of clairvoyance would be the perfect blank canvas upon which to communicate and express the underlying crux of Gesaffelstein’s Aleph.

Gesaffelstien, the french master, of all dark, and glorious electro/techno has released his new masterpiece titled "Pursuit." His music is hard to define, but it is so wonderful that there is really no need to pin his style down. This is also the first official release of any of his music since his colab with Brodinski called Bromance. The music video was also released at the same time as the song and all I have to say about it is that the video is truly epic!
