Some of the hardest-hitting Gesaffelstein material resembles a ’roided-out take on the brutalist house and hip-hop that Daft Punk explored on Homework. The aesthetic connections between Lévy and Daft Punk don’t end there for one, they’re labelmates now. He elaborated on this subtler side with his work on the Weeknd’s My Dear Melancholy, “I Was Never There” slowed a G-funk whine to a creeping slither, and “Hurt You” gave off a muted glow similar to the Weeknd’s Daft Punk collab “I Feel It Coming.” His rude and rumbling 2013 debut capitalized off his Yeezus moment (even though, technically speaking, it had been recorded two years before) with über-aggressive singles like “Pursuit” and “Hate or Glory” and moments of simmering ambient reflection that nodded to another dimension of his palette. A Gesaffelstein banger isn’t something you can simply walk away from you practically require the Jaws of Life to extricate yourself. ![]() At its most ferocious, the still-inimitable Yeezus sounded like a thousand car-crash videos auto-playing in the same browser window-precisely why Lévy’s highway-pileup sonics fit in so well.
