The Video Dead, Chinaski's debut EP for Live at Robert Johnson, starts out with Time to Kill, a straightforward hypnotizing jacker of synthesized happiness. Midnight Workout showcases different side to Chinaski, with synth harmonies packed in a vintage pop interlude. Night School delivers mesmerizing analog deep house vibes before Hide Society mixes Chinaski's affection for the warmth of these marvelous synth-sounds with trippy post-break hip hop sounds, topped off with a weird vocal sample. The Video Dead summons all the emotional power one can implant in a synthesizer with a heartbeat-like reduced kick drum and floating hi-hats. A1. Time to Kill, A2. Midnight Workout, B1.
