In the sixty-eighth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing elxnce, a producer and vocalist from the Bahamas! 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. Since then though they've gone on to continue developing their sound as not only a producer but a vocal artist as well, and we decided to do this interview after the recent release of their debut album Ridgeway Drive / Blurred Sentimentality. I hope you enjoy!ELXNCE'S SOCIALShttps://x.com/elxncehttps://www.instagram.com/prodelxnce/https://soundcloud.com/prodelxnceHIDDEN 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 - 0:00How elxnce originally got into the scene - 0:37How they got into making digicore - 4:01elxnce’s influences - 12:41Using guitar in their production - 19:10Still embracing digicore - 23:03Thoughts on artists in the scene who have disowned digicore - 28:18Artists they’d like to work with, and constantly being inspired by new styles - 30:11Things that make elxnce nostalgic - 34:20Small things that make elxnce happy - 40:36The process for working on Ridgeway Drive / Blurred Sentimentality - 43:28Music / media that makes elxnce emotional - 57:25Intense game of rock paper scissors - 1:03:40Things that have surprised them - 1:05:47Getting to meet midwxst in person - 1:10:56elxnce’s favorite things about being from the Bahamas - 1:12:44Being able to collaborate with so many artists online despite their location - 1:16:34What’s next for elxnce? - 1:21:02Shoutouts - 1:24:19Outro - 1:25:47ik i kept saying it during the interview but elxnces production really is special and i have a lot of great memories attached to songs they've done, super glad that i got to do this one :]#elxnce #hidden #driveway #show #underground #interview #aamu #music #artist #midwxst #trying #d0llywood1 #tropes #digicore #hyperpop #bahamas #ridgeway #drive #blurred #sentimentality #drained #zayok #h3artch3rades #heroine #sydney #runner #kuru
