Gesaffelstein (LIVE)
02:00 - 03:00
To the younger generation of clubbers and DJs for whom the funtastic era of 2001-2003 revivalism was a missed experience, Gesaffelstein represents a double-breasted jacket of nostalgia for everything from the power of industrial and 80’s new wave to the Gigolo-glam of early Kittin & The Hacker, Vitalic and Tiga. Gesaffelstein has single-handedly updated an entire genre, sharpened the edges, and notably traded in the camp and pastiche that made ‘electroclash’ a dirty word, for a refined and stylish simplicity. Gesaffelstein makes futuristic party bombs which skillfully draw from our favourite dance music of the last 30 years. The breakdowns are massive and very French, but never out of order. His album is due to be out in early 2012, but we bet he’s going to be trying out some of his bombs already at I Love Techno!
