French electronic music legend Gesaffelstein has officially announced his first-ever live album, Enter The Gamma, set for release on January 23, 2026. The album captures the raw energy and intensity of his recent world tour, which began at Coachella 2025 and included headline performances at major international festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, EDC Las Vegas, and Tomorrowland, solidifying his reputation as one of the most influential and innovative artists in electronic music today.
This live album follows the release of Gamma in 2024, Gesaffelstein’s first studio album in over five years. Gamma marked a turning point in his career, as it saw the French producer exploring new creative territory by introducing lyrics into his music for the first time. Collaborating with acclaimed singer-songwriter Yan Wagner, Gesaffelstein gave a voice to his compositions, blending haunting electronic soundscapes with evocative vocal performances. According to his management, Wagner’s contribution “finally gives a voice to Gesaffelstein,” allowing fans to connect with the artist on a deeper emotional level.
The concept behind Enter The Gamma is deeply inspired by the work of Pierre Soulages, the late French painter and sculptor known for his radical use of black in art. Soulages viewed black not as a void or absence, but as a surface where light could find its definition. Gesaffelstein has translated this philosophy into his music, describing the sound of the live album as “a luminous shadow, sculpted to the bone.” Each track emphasizes dynamic contrasts, layering light and dark textures to create an immersive auditory experience that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers to his music.
Alongside the album announcement, Gesaffelstein released “OPR (live)”, the first track from Enter The Gamma. The track offers a glimpse into the live energy of his performances, featuring pulsating beats, powerful drops, and an atmospheric sound design that translates the intensity of festival crowds into every note. Fans can listen to “OPR (live)” now on all major streaming platforms, giving a taste of the electrifying performances captured throughout the tour.
The album promises to showcase some of Gesaffelstein’s most iconic live moments, from festival headliners to intimate club shows, highlighting his ability to transform spaces with his music. By recording live performances rather than a traditional studio album, Gesaffelstein allows listeners to experience the immediacy, unpredictability, and energy of his shows—qualities that have helped define him as a trailblazer in the electronic music scene.
Gesaffelstein’s live tour in 2025 also received praise for its innovative stage design and visual storytelling, integrating cutting-edge lighting, projections, and multimedia elements that complemented the music. Fans attending shows reported an “immersive journey” where every beat and synth layer felt heightened by the visual environment, an approach now immortalized on Enter The Gamma.
With Enter The Gamma, Gesaffelstein continues to push boundaries, blending electronic music with performance art and conceptual depth. For fans of techno, industrial, and electronic experimentalism, the album represents a rare opportunity to relive the intensity of one of the most acclaimed live shows of the year from the comfort of their own headphones or speakers.
