The Road to Victory EP

Ezekiel Honig and Nicholas Sauser split on this 12", each contributing an original track, and remixing the other artist's track. Mr. Sauser kicks off the A-side with "Goca Chino," slithering voices bobbing in and out of the ether of a bassy, minimal dance-floor gem. A seriously pitched down vocal phrase connect the dots with sideways sound bits and classic tones, forging Sauser's way ahead, holding the past and future in each hand. Mr. Honig reworks "Goca Chino" using various elements from various versions of the original tune, into a midtempo techno texture brimming with odd percussion and the impending pitched vocal signpost. Deep, droning pianos round the edges, closing out in late night splendor. The B-side opens with Honig's "Going Sailing," minimal techno from below, a dark bottom pad scraping the ocean floor, with almost choral like gazes sharing space in a barrage of teetering, tattering soundbytes, clipped claps, vocal dispersements, and shuffling backgrounds.
