Swimming Pool turns midweek into magic with “Wednesday Kinda Weekend”
In their latest offering, “Wednesday Kinda Weekend,” Swimming Pool captures the delicate push between wanting to drift away and needing to stay present. Warped ambient textures ripple through the mix like heat shimmer off asphalt, setting the scene for a journey that refuses to be hurried. A bowed bass hums underneath, anchoring the haze with a deep, resonant pulse, while layered vocals float above, sometimes sharp enough to pierce through, other times dissolving into the ether. It’s the musical equivalent of lying in the grass with your eyes half-closed, unsure if you’re slipping into a dream or simply too comfortable to move.
What makes “Wednesday Kinda Weekend” so captivating is its balance between contrasts. It inhabits the liminal space between joy and exhaustion, moments of clarity dissolve into waves of abstraction, intimate whispers fade into vast reverb, and the bright shimmer of sound is constantly refracted through a lens of gentle distortion. This duality gives the song a kind of emotional dizziness. The pacing is deliberate, each element introduced like a brushstroke in an evolving painting. The bowed bass swells feel like slow tides, while the ambient layers bend and stretch time, making three minutes feel like an endless dusk. Vocals appear as storytelling devices and as textures themselves, becoming another instrument in the dream world.
“Wednesday Kinda Weekend” feels like a love letter to the lingering light of a Wednesday evening that somehow feels as carefree as a Saturday night, the quiet thrill of knowing you don’t have to be anywhere just yet, the surrender to a slower rhythm in a world that never stops moving. Swimming Pool has crafted something that settles into your breathing, reshaping your sense of time. With “Wednesday Kinda Weekend”, they’ve given us an immersive escape you’ll want to return to long after summer has slipped away.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”
Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.
“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”
Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
