Hot off his blistering Intention & Surrender release in April, Selective Response returns with, No Love Only Pleasure, an EP built for the summer club and festival season. While known for dark and distorted soundscapes, Selective Response flexes some musical muscle and takes the label's 20th release in a fun and uplifting direction. That said, rest assured that the energy and rhythm he's known for are at the forefront of the EP.

Lead track No Love Only Pleasure harkens back to early rave sounds - a big piano-style lead, some breakbeats, and a cheeky vocal over sharp thumping drums. A summer anthem, plain and simple.

The b-side, No Sudden Movements, carries on the fun, uplifting theme but takes a slightly more DJ-tool route with a no-nonsense driving bassline, snappy percussion, and funkified groove. These tracks have become staples in his sets.

Title: Faded Memories
Type: EP
Artist: Arkane
Format: Digital
Release Date: 2-23-24

Manchester's Arkane delivers five groove-focused club cuts showcasing his prowess over techno. Stripped back but not lacking energy or power, Faded Memories is a testament to Arkane's abilities as a producer and artist. Layers of rich atmospheric texture, urgent arpeggios, and dub chords sit above punchy drums and masterful grooves. Crisis Of Man is proud to host Arkane's first full EP. Club tested and ready to be endlessly rinsed.

Written and produced by Arkane in Manchester UK
Mastered by Selective Response

For our third release of the year, we welcome back the elusive Norwegian artist Jonas von der Fehr, aka Innestemme. Having debuted on the first Core Values VA two years ago, he now brings his first full release as an artist. As a highly successful artist in his other life, his mastery over melodic elements and song structure shines brightly and melds with higher-energy techno for a beautiful amalgamation. 
Title track Reaktor kicks things off in a snappy, drum-focused fashion, and quickly evolves into a melancholic club record. Lush, sweeping staccato strings fill the breakdown for a momentary breath before the drums kick back in. 
B-side Metylen takes a more heads-down rolling approach. Rolling drums and bass immediately build momentum as more atmospheric plucks appear.
Closing things off, Mancheter's Arkane returns with his rendition of Metylen. Where the original concentrated more on melody, Arkane goes the opposite direction and creates a much darker, pumping, and tribalistic rendition.

[COM025] Innestemme - Metylen (Arkane Remix)

They say momentum creates success, and as we enter the second quarter of the year, we crank up the energy with a six-track release from Swiss artist Unconformist. Finding the perfect balance between EBM-leaning basslines, rough textures, and lush atmospheres, Vivid Scars Symphony is all killer, with no filler.

Within this intense journey of sound, Unconformist is joined by fellow Swiss artist Giselh, for a perfect match of power and intensity. Rounding off the release is German mega talent Parallx, whose rendition of Mindstorm Sonata takes the track to a whole new dimension of uplifting dub techno.

Crisis Of Man welcomes Turkish techno killer Jehra. After strong releases on Monnom Black, Moments In Time, and plenty of others, it was only a matter of time before he would make his way to us.
