Make tracks from record inspired by Rush (6)
I believe the answer is:
depart
'make tracks' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'record inspired by rush' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'inspired by' is an insertion indicator (some letters breathed in or 'inspired' by others).
'rush' becomes 'dart' (both can mean to move quickly).
'ep' placed inside 'dart' is 'DEPART'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for depart that I've seen before include "Stray" , "Leave (6)" , "Start out" , "Retire from" , "21" .)
