After a massive year for the rapidly growing California label, Crisis Of Man kicks off 2023 with the second installment of its annual Core Values VA.
Once again, the compilation brings a swath of the hottest new talent on the planet, each artist bringing their unique brand to the label. Whereas the previous installment had ten artists, Vol. 2 brings the total to 13.
在这个快速成长的加州厂牌经历了巨大的一年之后，Crisis Of Man以其年度核心价值VA的第二部分拉开了2023年的序幕。该汇编再次带来了地球上最热门的新人才，每个艺术家都为该标签带来了他们独特的品牌。上一期有10位艺术家，第二卷使总数达到13位。
Since the previous release, the North American scene has grown tremendously, which this new release proudly presents to the world. While 13 of the 15 artists might be from NA, 2022 saw the label expand beyond the shores to Italy and The Netherlands.
自上一次发行以来，北美的场景有了巨大的发展，这一新的版本自豪地呈现给世界。虽然15位艺术家中的13位可能来自北美，但2022年看到该标签扩展到意大利和荷兰的海岸之外。
Los Angeles-based artists make a strong showing on the VA. 1 morning kicks things off with the 90s-inspired ‘Fuse’.
Annika Wolfe returns to the label ahead of their future release with industrial leaning ‘Industry Plants’.
Former master photographer Dilate comes in hot with the snappy ‘Outsider’. COM favourite EAS returns with his typical driving and punchy ‘Braindance’. VA mastering engineer and highly respected artist Secus adds the marching and hypnotic ‘Shadow Realm’, while fellow LA legend Steven Disario makes his debut with the stripped-back ‘Moving Heads’. Hardcore duo RS:VC return with their first original track, the melancholic and devastating ‘What I Saw When I Looked In The Mirror’. Brand new artist and mentored by Selective, Xiomar presents his very first release with club-focused ‘Track 2’. And of course, label head Selective Response rounds off the local roster with the catchy ‘Come Hell or High Water’.

Moving east, New York’s Brälle comes in hot with their psychedelic hammer ‘East Hastings’. Texas Voidware boss Declan James’ ‘First Blood’ is an industrial roller.
KNTXT artist Henry Brooks brings melodic elements to the release with ‘Lost Premonitions’. Closing out the North American representation is new artist Jana Greenstone, whose broken beat ‘Mine’ is a journey all on its own. And finally, we head across the pond to Italy with LPV’s EBM-inspired Sexual Tension. Closing out the release is Overclocked, a long-time favourite of Selective Response, who ends things with the pumping ‘Open Your Eyes’.
向东走，纽约的Brälle带着他们的迷幻锤子《East Hastings》火速赶来。德州Voidware的老板Declan James的《First Blood》是一首工业化的滚筒。KNTXT艺术家Henry Brooks的《Lost Premonitions》为发行带来了旋律性的元素。新艺术家Jana Greenstone结束了在北美的演出，他的破碎节拍《Mine》是一个独立的旅程。最后，我们带着LPV的EBM灵感的《Sexual Tension》穿越池塘来到意大利。最后，Overclocked是选择性反应的长期最爱，他以《Open Your Eyes》结束了这次发行。

With the recent launch of VOIDWARE, a record label and recurring party based in his hometown of Dallas, alongside both domestic and international touring schedules,
