“My new EP, The Last Sound on Earth, is a dedication to these specific roots i grew up listening to: Miami bass, freestyle, jungle, and electronic dance music. I shaped this EP’s musical world by tapping into a specific sentiment. the way salsa lyrics can be dark and heavy, yet the music is body-moving…
The title and theme of this song, Protector, is rooted in two foundational songs. The first is BDP’s “Who Protects Us From You,” which talks about who police’s police? Who checks authority in our lives? The second is Massive Attack’s “Protection,” which changed how I thought about production — specifically the contrast between heavy themes and electronic melodies and these gentle beautiful lyrical waves.
Ultimately, Protector is two things. We all need protection—physically, mentally, and spiritually—but we also have a reciprocal duty to protect.”
