Gesaffelstein Announces Debut Live Album ‘Enter The Gamma’ + New Single
The Dark Prince of Techno is back to claim his throne. Elusive French producer Gesaffelstein has officially announced his forthcoming live album, Enter The Gamma, slated for release on January 23rd, 2026.
Marking a major milestone in his storied career, Enter The Gamma is the musician’s first-ever live album. To celebrate the news, he has shared the visceral album cut “OPR (live),” giving fans a taste of the raw energy captured during his recent global takeover.
Sound as a Luminous Shadow
A devoted admirer of the legendary painter Pierre Soulages, Gesaffelstein’s creative philosophy is rooted in the idea that black is not an absence, but a surface where light takes shape. In Enter The Gamma, that vision reaches its peak—transforming sound into a “luminous shadow,” sculpted with surgical precision.
Recorded during his highly acclaimed world tour, the album captures the set exactly as it was experienced by thousands: loud, sharp, and controlled. The tour carved a path through the world’s most iconic stages, debuting at Coachella and dominating festivals like Ultra, Portola, EDC, We Love Green, and Summer Sonic. The record also immortalizes the intensity of his three sold-out headline shows at the Kia Forum (LA), Radius (Chicago), and Brooklyn Mirage (NY).
From the “Skinny Suit” to the “Chrome Mask”
Gesaffelstein has long defined the intersection of techno, art, and industrial music. Ravers will remember his early days as the enigmatic Frenchman in a skinny black suit, chain-smoking through ferocious, high-octane club sets. Over time, he evolved into the otherworldly, chrome-masked figure locked in a singular beam of light—a performance style that has become an electronic rite for his devotees.
While 2024’s studio album Gamma introduced minimalist form and the vocals of Yan Wagner, Enter The Gamma returns to the live arena where rhythm and shadow coalesce into a space between violence and grace.
A Global Influence
Gesaffelstein’s exacting approach has made him one of the most sought-after collaborators in the world. From the architectural brutality of his 2013 debut Aleph to defining tracks for A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, and Pharrell Williams, his impact is undeniable.
Recently, his reach has expanded even further. After co-writing tracks on Charli XCX’s BRAT, he joined forces with Lady Gaga on her album Mayhem, merging his severe production with her dramatic scale on tracks like “Killah” and “Perfect Celebrity.” His relentless pursuit of excellence has already earned him a 2026 Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording for his take on “Abracadabra.”
