Hidden Driveway Show

In the fifty-seventh episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing Hank Rubeé, an experimental rap artist from Modesto, California. He's the creator of his own label Cockroach Music, and really caught my eye due to his unique take of industrial hip hop.

In the forty-ninth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing dethkitty, a pop artist from Florida! She's helped cultivate a space for hyperpop and scenecore artists in her hometown through her work as Fantasywrld Productions, and is creating some of the most fun pop music out there right now! I hope you enjoy the interview!DETHKITTY'S SOCIALShttps://x.com/instapacertesthttps://www.instagram.com/dthkat/https://soundcloud.com/plyqtHIDDEN 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/therealentropyservice Introduction - 0:00dethdog - 0:36dethkitty’s influences - 2:15How dethkitty got into making music - 3:11How her sound changed over time - 6:18Not wanting to be associated with “Scenecore” - 7:51Production influences - 9:39Her cover art - 10:39How dethkitty got her name - 11:28Helping organize shows as part of Fantasywrld Productions - 14:16Her thoughts on the importance of participating local scenes - 16:34Why she started organizing her own shows, and how it helped her realize her friend was actually her cousin - 20:45The Fantasywrld show documentary - 27:37How she finds artists to book for her shows - 29:22The importance of building and finding community in DIY shows - 32:11dethkitty’s favorite cats - 36:40Talking Tom & Friends - 38:15Wanting to get better at producing - 44:38aamu wants to watch more movies - 46:07The process for working on Vanity with Crystal Ash - 47:39dethkitty’s favorite things about herself - 52:36Intense game of rock paper scissors - 56:09Periods of her life that she’s nostalgic for - 58:58dethkitty’s favorite experiences performing live - 1:04:10Her favorite local bands - 1:09:28dethkitty’s favorite concert experience - 1:10:11What she’s most proud of for accomplishing in 2024 - 1:13:06dethkitty’s plans for 2025 - 1:14:24Shoutouts - 1:19:16Outro - 1:19:54my fault for being a little sleepy in this one lol i didnt notice it when we were recording but i definitely hear it after, still had an awesome time doing the interview tho :D#dethkitty #hidden #driveway #show #underground #interview #music #aamu #florida #swfl #digicore #hyperpop #scenecore #fantasywrld #productions #xofilo #jthousand #vanity

In the forty-eighth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing Dreeks, an electronic producer from the United Kingdom! Their love for collaboration runs deep, having worked with the likes of VHS MIDNIGHT STYLE, florelle, and even acted as a submissions committee member on the legendary MUTANTS MIXTAPE compilation series. This is a legendary interview as well as it's easily one of my favorites that I've ever done, I hope you enjoy!DREEKS' SOCIALShttps://www.instagram.com/dreeksmusic/https://soundcloud.com/dreeksmusicHIDDEN 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/therealentropyservice Introduction - 0:00Dreeks likes aamu’s new EP (ty dreeks :]) - 0:23How Dreeks got into making music, and their influences for it - 1:45Perfect pitch - 5:15Their song naming conventions - 6:46Album sequencing - 10:12The story behind fade___out, and MUTANTS MIXTAPE - 14:34Working on D&D with VHS MIDNIGHT STYLE - 17:31How they became involved with MUTANTS MIXTAPE - 23:40florelle - 25:26Not enjoying the promotion aspect of music - 29:06Dreeks’ experiences performing live - 31:13Their favorite concerts that they’ve been to - 33:42The concept of shows being an experience - 37:21What Dreeks would do if they were a sea otter - 47:13Dreeks’ favorite video game related memories - 54:13Wanting to be emotionally moved by the media they consume - 1:07:49The process for working on Evidence We Existed In This Moment In Time - 1:10:21Their thoughts on doing vocals in the future - 1:16:24Jane Remover - 1:20:47Having varying processes for their work - 1:24:41How they came up with the title for Evidence We Existed In This Moment In Time - 1:27:36Dreeks’ most memorable dreams - 1:28:53Intense game of rock paper scissors - 1:40:30The biggest lessons Dreeks has learned - 1:43:33The art of making a long song that feels short - 1:52:08Exclusive information about Ethel Cain’s next project ?? - 1:59:40Working on alter with AIM:M - 2:01:24Artists they would like to work with - 2:05:32Speaking on their PhD research on transgender and nonbinary artists in online spaces - 2:10:47Shoutouts - 2:22:40Outro - 2:25:03i feel really bad about losing the initial recording for this, but dreeks is such an insanely lovely person and im glad i got to know them even better thru recording it a 2nd time !! ty for being patient with the the release of this one, i think it was worth it :)#dreeks #hidden #driveway #show #underground #interview #aamu #music #unitedkingdom #vhs #midnight #style #not #crowded #pharma #janeremover #ethelcain #pokemon #botw #alter #evidence #we #existed #in #this #moment #in #time #mutants #mixtape
