roadman Interview | Hidden Driveway Show Ep. 34
In the thirty-fourth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing roadman, a vaporwave and ambient producer from Kentucky. He's gone by a variety of aliases over the years such as Lil Eyecrust and VIRTUAL SHOPPER オンラインストア, and he runs the netlabel The Fishbowl as well. Me and him have been mutuals for a long time but this was our first time properly having a conversation, and I had a great time. I hope you enjoy the interview too!

to me this interview is a super important one, as im a big believer in scene archival, and roadman has been part of it for a super long time, but isn't as active in it today. really hope this gets more people to check him, some of the most gorgeous and peaceful music you will ever hear !!
