Track Of The Day: DJ Profile - Prove It (End Recordings)


DJ Profile, aka Charles Webster, came up with this sublime piece of deep house 26 years ago on End Recordings, the label of the famous west London Club, where I spent a good few nights. This is elegant in its simplicity. It’s loops upon loops until they no longer resemble loops but a sound collage of infinite possibilities. Although a steady kick maintains time, it’s a subtle barrage of break beats that provide the more conspicuous foundation, and sitting on top you’ve got the eponymous vocal sample phasing in and out. And on the other side you’ve got ‘Realization’, which is slightly lower key, but just as effective and funky. Both tracks smash it, but ‘Prove It’ just edges it for me.
