>World Music< is the second 12 inch from Washington, DC based Protect-U. As the title suggests, Protect-U grooves to global soundz, but this newest release–once again brought to you by Future Times–is total mutant house/techno. On the A-Side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style Francis Bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. The flip, >U-Uno<, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century India, followed by a slo-mo dub of >World Music< that slips back and forth between digital Jamaica and European nu-romance.
