Mike Levy (Gesaffelstein) Quotes

He is the most important thing in my music. If The Hacker didn’t exist I’m not sure if I’d be here today. He explained a lot of things to me; it all came from him… I had been obsessed with his sound, because for me his music is the perfect combination of the past and the future. It was the only music I understood because everything he made was so logical for me.
