Talking Techno 13.5

Southern California’s @selectiveresponse1 is what happens when dedication to self-expression and hard work meet an insatiable passion for techno. Although new in name, this 27-year-old swiss army knife’s history tells a different tale.

As one who's always been a DIY-type, 2019 marks the beginning of a string of powerful releases and the birth of his label Crisis Of Man, with support from Perc, I Hate Models, Remco Beekwilder, Truncate and more. His sound is relentless: a combination of punishing unique rhythms which are instantly recognizable on any dancefloor, something that can only be achieved after years of work and refinement paired with a refusal to follow trends. 

With so much accomplished in such a short time, there is nothing of bright future ahead of him. 

For the next DETECT, he presents an exclusive podcast.

DETECT [065] - Selective Response

Available now on all major platforms

‘Core Values Vol 1’ is the first in no doubt a series of stacked compilations to come on the label, featuring talented undiscovered names including EAS, PLEASURES, Emptyshell, Rave Syndicate, and Innestemme, to those with some recognition including US female artists Annika Wolfe and Lindsey Herbert, Scotland’s Frazi.er and Germany’s Zeltak.

Opening with the energetic ‘Electro-q-shun’ from Annika Wolfe, analogue lines ricochet at breakneck speed are married with a snappy four-to-the-floor percussive framework for powerful peak-time plays. The mysterious Norwegian producer Innestemme steps up next with a stark melodic powerhouse track, ‘Heartbeat’ that instantly transports you back to the glory days of Eye-Q and Harthouse when German creativity ruled clubland.  Next, Zeltak adds his own Teutonic charm with squelchy overdriven drums, bouncy off-beat bass, and snarling synths in his track ‘Failed’.

 Label boss Selective Response drops his latest creation, ‘Lick The Knife’ next. Rolling beats and muted synths open up as the track progresses, mutating into a spiky onslaught with menacing power. Rave Syndicate claim ‘I Will Lead You Astray’ and that they very much do. Serious dark atmospheres, solid warehouse-sized drums, and absolutely no punches pulled.

Scotland’s techno export Frazi.er has seen success after a release with EXHALE and played Amelie’s massive Printworks show at the end of 2021. He delivers again with ‘No Regards For Humanity’, an energetic and soulful cut that marries light and dark in the best way. Spiky synth lines add tension while the airy pads of the main break create an oasis of calm. Not her first time to Crisis Of Man, with a release last year which made her debut. Emptyshell’s ‘Chemical Urgency’ is tough with its kicks and filtered percussion. Acidy FX and sparse percussion keep this one dark and devastating.

Fellow Los Angeles-based DJ EAS adds his sizable studio skills to the mix with ‘Beautiful Thing’. Industrial beats, hypnotic leads, and catchy vocals, this is a thing of beauty! Look out for him making another appearance later this year on the imprint. Newcomer, PLEASURES, makes his mark with his second ever track, ‘Nervous’. Tough beats, classic repeating melodic, and terrifying pace: this is a perfect secret weapon for the harder DJs out there. 

And last but very not least is the talented SF producer Lindsey Herbert. After releasing on Rave Code, Northern Parallels, and Nastia’s NECHTO Record, she drops the tempo for the trippy ‘Cosmic Interference’, a meandering chugger for those early mornings lost in Berghain.

Fuse resident Downside delivers the ninth release on Fuse Imprint with Traces Of Spring, a record that reflects both clean articulation and careful tension building. Across four tracks, he explores a balance of intensity and restraint, depicting a narrative that mirrors his evolving role within the club.

Opening with Until It Fades, the A1 sets a hypnotic tone through patient layering and ambient space, hinting at drama while maintaining subtlety. With Blackout Protocol, the atmosphere turns into focus through an imposing, clear low-end that takes control, driving a darker framework designed for moments of deepened urgency. On the flip, Revolt moves with raw immediacy, its rhythm pushing forward with detail and weight, yet strangely uplifting. Closing with the title track, Traces Of Spring offers a suspended atmosphere, delicate in rhythm and melody, it's a reflection of the fragile balance between soft synth tension hanging by a thread and a focused, monumental pace.

With this release, Downside contributes a coherent and articulate statement to the Fuse catalogue, one that captures both the physicality of the dancefloor and the subtleties that extend beyond it.
