The blurb
From his work on One Little Indian with the Yard Emcees in 2003 through to recent work with likes of Hexstatic, Starkey and Neil Landstrumm, Profisee’s consistently flawless delivery backed with intelligent lyrics has brought him the respect of anyone lucky enough to have crossed his path.
His next release, the Logan’s Run EP, sees him team up with a collection of both experienced and new producers to deliver an EP that crosses genres and boundaries with ease and offers a taste of what to expect from his forthcoming album.
Phuturelabs’ own S-Type is the first producer to display their wares on “Logan’s Run [No Guts No Glory]” where spacey beats and synth work pound underneath Profisee’s “No Guts No Glory” refrain. Ninja Tune’s Poirer is next behind the desk and delivers “Movin”, packing Profisee’s hook laden vocal over an infectious head swingin’ bassline.
Amsterdam’s Process Rebel is the next to line up the beats and it’s “How It Goes” that forms the EP’s most dancefloor orientated track. Packed with a fuzzy synth hook and with a tonne weight of sub bass strapped to the underside, Prof’s vocal unfolds over a tribal backing before an insanely catchy loop attaches itself to the vocal hook.
The EP’s final two tracks see mysterious Glasgow producer Scharkz step into the fold. Following the theme of his work with Kid Adrift last year, the first track “This Means” is a decidedly dark chunk of dubstep tinged electronica with Profisee’s vocal taking a trip to Vienna and back. Closing track “Why Today’ adds a full stop to proceedings and sees Prof attack the topic of loss with heartfelt honesty.
