In the eighty-eighth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interview $quib, an experimental pop "duo" based in New York! I've been a fan of Brock's work for a few years now, and it was awesome getting to talk to them about it.

h3artch3rades Interview | Hidden Driveway Show Ep. 87
In the eighty-seventh episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing h3artch3rades, a pop vocalist and producer! While his vocals may be heavily inspired by pop and r&b, and his production often takes influence from the SoundCloud ambient plugg scene, giving his vocals space to shine. I hope you enjoy!

tropes Interview | Hidden Driveway Show Ep. 86
In the eighty-fifth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing tropes, a rapper and producer from California! He's also a member of PlanetZero, which features several other members I've interviewed in the past like mason infinity, heartstopmiami, and bbyazul. While he initially started off making digicore during quarantine, over the years he's come into his own, finding his sound with his more abstract lyrics and experimental production. This ones a very special one for me as is this has been one I've wanted to do since I first started Hidden Driveway, I hope you enjoy!TROPES' SOCIALShttps://x.com/tropeshttps://www.instagram.com/tropes777/https://soundcloud.com/tropes777HIDDEN DRIVEWAY SOCIALShttps://twitter.com/hiddendriveway_https://www.instagram.com/hiddendriveway_/Listen to Hidden Driveway on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hSJP0juKCmJYHYmHVzS00?si=e4602b80dda54cf1Curated Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/07YUuoKvKv9J97PEyCDPTp?si=f0dbc4ded45a4586Curated SoundCloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/aamufr/sets/hidden-drivewayAAMU'S SOCIALShttps://twitter.com/aamufrhttps://www.instagram.com/aamufr/https://soundcloud.com/aamufrSHOUTOUT TO RESTLESS TOO FOR MAKING THE THUMBNAILhttps://x.com/restlessbaghttps://www.instagram.com/restlesslp/https://soundcloud.com/prodrestlessIntroduction - 0:00Preparing for the back2zero tour - 0:15How his style has shifted over time - 4:05How tropes got into making music, and some of his influences for it - 6:26tropes’ production influences - 11:18Being inspired by Fargo and other shows he’s a fan of - 15:07Starting off as an animator on Scratch when he was 11 - 20:12Some of his favorite memories from Scratch - 22:34His old YouTube videos - 30:17tropes’ old habits - 34:02Speaking on the production shift in the scene to weirder sounds - 38:08Distancing himself from his digicore era in a tasteful way - 41:03Having less time to record vocals now - 45:40Things that have creeped tropes out - 48:25The process for working on Whatevermind - 52:02Things that have been formative for him - 1:05:05Intense game of rock paper scissors - 1:12:38Things tropes has done that were spontaneous - 1:15:33His experience on the Creation Story tour in 2025 - 1:19:03What’s next for tropes? - 1:25:47Shoutouts - 1:29:47Outro - 1:30:54this ones always been a dream interview of mine given my past history with tropes' work, really glad we got to do this and it was awesome getting to see him again on tour :D#tropes #hidden #driveway #show #underground #artist #interview #aamu #music #rapper #whatevermind #book #of #tr #aeromanic #which #end #heartstopmiami #feardorian #bank #method #back2zero #creation #story #tour #dep4rted #bbyazul #orchead420 #bp #iv #hyperpop #digicore #elxnce #scratch #awesomegamestv #planetzero
