Hailing from Mmotong, Spoorkpark in Polokwane, the rising producer delivers a deeply rooted deep tech project that reflects both personal growth and artistic persistence. The title itself speaks to the journey behind the music — a reminder that setbacks are often part of the process of refining one’s craft and purpose.

Each track unfolds with patience and atmosphere, blending deep percussive movement with subtle melodic layers that give the project a distinct identity. His approach to groove and space creates a listening experience that feels both introspective and dancefloor-driven, highlighting the maturity in his production style. One of the standout moments on the project comes through Back To One (Ke Dub Mix), a track that captures the essence of the EP’s dub-influenced direction while emphasizing The Honcho’s ability to create depth, tension, and movement within minimal arrangements. With Rejection Ain’t Failure, The Honcho not only introduces a compelling body of work on Selville Records, but also marks himself as a promising voice within South Africa’s growing deep electronic music landscape.
