Gesaffelstein - Glass

Stream/Download: turborec.lnk.to/variations
Gesaffelstein's tracks have already received support from James Holden, Chloé, Damian Lazarus, and Laurent Garnier, to name a few, and this record is without a doubt his best yet. Every track on 'Variations' is a battle-tested bomb.
His sound is clearly influenced by New Wave and the Gigolo-era electro (2001-2) of fellow Frenchmen The Hacker and David Carretta, but it sounds like a fresh update rather than pastiche, revitalized and refined down to a modern and versatile core. These tracks work in Tiga's festival sets alongside some of the summer's biggest anthems, yet are equally at home in a more underground setting, e.g. Von Party's 5am warm-up before Ivan Smagghe at a London warehouse party.
The title track has the most attitude, establishing a palette of dark staccato basslines, crunching hi-hats, hands-in-the-air cowbells and trippy synth leads. “Selected Faces” and “Atmosphere” are arguably even more straightforward club weapons, their breakdowns creating just enough 'insanity' without getting annoying, their grooves dropping back in with a cool, restrained power that will win over hiss-weary DJs.
With remixes upcoming for Turbo and Institubes, a follow-up EP for Turbo in the works... if you want an idea as to how big Gesaffelstein will get this year, just think of him as 'Brodinkelstein.'

Yo this SLAPS. shame I didn't hear it sooner. 2010? Insane. This needs to be heard by everyone again.

Seeing him play it live is AMAZING.

This sure would make it in today's releases Doesn't sound as 2010 at all. This guy was ahead of his time.

Why anyone would want a 2022 dated track? Obviously 2011 is the golden year of electronic music.

[@Hoggod]

@@serhafiye7046 "obviously" not . Golden years of EDM , techno in particular was probably way before you were swimming in your dad's balls .

I wish to hear this song live one day. Had my best times with Gesaffelstein Festival gigs in 2015.
