about

Words by: Khal twitter.com/khal

As disruptive and intriguing as Guns ‘N Roses were on the unsuspecting mainstream during their late ‘80s heyday, Profane’s latest long player Snares N’ Roses could be just as chaos-inducing. With a litany of producers in the drum & bass realm sticking to tight, formulaic four-minute bangers, Profane applies Dilla Time to the entire process, furthering his experiments into the outer reaches of breakbeat science.

Confused? Imagine Paradox and The Alchemist decided to collaborate on a dnb project that sounds like “what if J Dilla made jungle?” One moment, you might get lost in the frantic drumwork on somber numbers like “Drum Slang,” but later an anthemic number like “We Bangin’ That (Jungle Music)” reimagines familiar sounds in ways you never thought possible. “Basill” pairs a hypnotic bassline with hyper drumwork; it’s like someone found archival footage of your favorite jazz bassist and drummer battling during a practice session, ala Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed at the end of Rocky III.

Snares N’ Roses ends with the honey-dripped aggressiveness of “Tearz,” where a lullaby of a loop brightens the day of some of Profane’s toughest drumwork across the project. If this album is a capable drummer trying to understand the junglist framework, “Tearz” is when that broken student becomes the proud master… through the realization that comes with paying attention, especially when the simplistic confines of the modern drum & bass scene are no longer relevant. Whatever you want to call the drum & brilliance emitting from Profane’s studio, we have one piece of advice: Play twice before listening.
