Curve 1


Curve 1 is the fourth studio album by British producer. It was released on 23 August 2024 by his independent imprint Pond Recordings. The album features a return by Crossan to club-oriented music.

Background and release

Following Demon Time, Crossan released Curve 1 independently on Pond Recordings, emphasizing a return to dancefloor-driven material. Crossan said of the record: "I wanted to make something no frills, no cynical music industry narrative, no manipulative backstory. Just music that I think is really great and that people can gather around."
The digital album arrived on 23 August 2024, with physical editions following later that autumn.

Critical reception

Curve 1 received generally favourable reviews. The Guardian awarded it four stars, describing it as one of Crossan's most rhythmically inventive releases and noting its balance of dancefloor intensity with bittersweet undertones. DIY Magazine similarly praised its club focus and cohesion.
