In the thirty-eigth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing xaptiox, an electronic / drum and bass producer from Virginia. They've made quite the name for themselves over the years with songs like soup and pipo!, but I got to learn so much more about them through this interview. They've been a good friend of mine for a while now, I hope you enjoy!
