Profan
Profile:
Profan regards itself not as a techno label in the traditional sense. Founed in 1993 by Wolfgang Voigt, it follows more the meandering side-paths of Techno. The crackling besides. The grooving in the groove.
Profan is complex and theoritical. Tough and light. It is pop, not intelligent Techno. Bee Gees, not Dokumenta.
It was distributed via Piktomania.

Reviews & Discussion
For sure one of the most radical minimal labels - timeless classics wich are its own class when it comes to dry, repetitive, stumble-beat dada-funk. Has been quite important for the later minimal-techno wave.
Profan is an extremely minimalistic Label. Often broken and unquntized, monotone, sometimes very funny. No trance, vocals, or fx, only a few drums and a few tipical samples on a few chanels. 20% good on parties, 70% for warm up or clubmusic, 10% not to play.About 110 to 135 bpm. Good.
