In the seventy-seventh episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing Departure, a rapper and producer from Austin, Texas! I've really been enjoying his glitchy blend of plunderphonics and abstract hip hop, and after he released his most recent album, work of artist i love you, now seemed like the perfect time to speak to him. Due to his location, we were able to meet up to record the first ever full length in person interview for Hidden Driveway, so I hope you enjoy :D DEPARTURE'S SOCIALShttps://x.com/dddepartureeehttps://www.instagram.com/ddeparturee/https://soundcloud.com/ddepartureeHIDDEN 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 - 0:00Pease Park - 1:20How aamu first learned about Departure - 3:04How Departure got into making music, and his influences for it - 7:33Starting off being inspired by The Caretaker, and shifting his sound for different releases - 14:06Departure’s production influences - 20:59His first reaction to Everywhere At The End Of Time - 22:15His experience growing up and participating in the Austin music scene - 24:35Being known as Departure in high school - 31:36Helping his friend set up an art fair - 35:21Believing we will all get to where we’re meant to be - 38:09Preferring to use his work to analyze nostalgia rather than exude nostalgia - 46:01The process for working on work of artist i love you - 53:52Ways Departure has changed over time - 1:15:17Intense game of rock paper scissors - 1:24:05Things Departure wants to learn more about - 1:26:27His experience performing with IND in New York - 1:35:45What’s he’s proud of accomplishing in 2025, and what he hopes to do in 2026 - 1:43:29Shoutouts - 1:46:33Outro - 1:47:47i had so much fun doing this one in person, and its definitely something i wanna continue doing whenever possible !! really excited to see where departure goes from here too that album is so sososoo good#departure #hidden #driveway #show #underground #artist #interview #aamu #music #ind #genesis #work #of #i #love #you #ibiza #vvs #austin #texas #june #jasmine #smoke #sleep #dealers #hauntology #thecaretaker #nujabes #airospace

They're a member of NOVAGANG, and initially grew to prominence in the digicore scene during the early 2020s through their collaborations with artists like midwxst, tropes, and d0llywood1.
