“Unsettledness” marks the latest release from Profanus, an independent artist whose nomadic trajectory over the past decade has seen him living and working across the globe. Previously known as Ezequiel and hailing from Brazil’s south, Profanus has called Australia and Brazil home but currently resides in Berlin, a city that has helped shape and refine his unique sound. With his music, Profanus draws on the freedom and diversity of his travels, weaving in influences from all the places he has visited. His music tells rich stories, reflecting his trademark artistic sensibility and featuring house and techno nuances that capture his emotional sensibility. With a sound that is distinctly his own, Profanus has established himself as an innovative and exciting artist to watch.
“Unsettledness” is part of a two-track EP that delves into the complexities of human emotion and the ever-changing nature of life. Drawing on a blend of techno, house, and dub, each track takes the listener on a reflective journey, uncovering the highs and lows of the human experience. The EP’s title embodies the essence of the tracks, conveying the idea that life is full of unpredictability and discomfort, yet also offers the opportunity for growth and hope. With hauntingly repetitive chords and an energetic, upbeat rhythm, “Unsettledness” offers a diverse range of musical styles and moods, including a dub version produced in collaboration with Bruno da Mata, a friend of the artist. Through “Unsettledness,” Profanus invites listeners to confront life’s challenges and find beauty in chaos while discovering the transformative power of uncertainty. Surrender to the music, close your eyes, and let yourself be swept away on a journey of self-discovery.
