    Exuberant, sun-kissed quality house! Cut from the same cloth as Ital, Beautiful Swimmers and Innergaze, Washington-based duo Protect-U made up of Future Times co-owner Mike Petillo and Aaron Leitko make their debut on Planet Mu!

    Motorbike’ starts with a bassline that recalls early Jellybean-era Madonna, before the track is all but buried in woozy, psychedelic strings that seem to bend and vibrate around the rhythm.

    ‘Lawndog’ is a tougher beast, with tight syncopated tropical rhythms underpinning light and breezy synths seemingly borrowed from Dare-era Human League.

    ‘Invisible Halo’ is hazier and slower, bumping along in a drowsy fashion, like a slow accompaniment to the sunrise after the night before.
