Mike Lévy, known professionally as Gesaffelstein, was born in Lyon, France, in June 1985. He began producing music at the age of sixteen after engaging with an analog synthesizer. In 2008, he released his first EP through OD Records. The following year, he co-founded the independent label Zone with The Hacker, Alex Reynaud, and David Rimokh. His early work established a foundation in dark and experimental electronic music. His track “Viol” was later used in advertisements for Citroën and Givenchy in 2012, indicating a growing commercial reach.

This album showcased his electro-industrial sound. In 2015, he collaborated with Jean-Michel Jarre on the single “Conquistador” and composed the soundtrack for the French film “Maryland.” He also produced tracks “I Was Never There” and “Hurt You” for The Weeknd’s 2018 EP “My Dear Melancholy.”
