This week AOTW : II
There is nothing quite like the thrill of stumbling upon incredible new talent, and watching them earn well-deserved recognition early in their journey. With just two releases under their belt, AUDIO ENGINEERING is already turning heads in the scene, and after spending some quality time with their latest project, II, it is easy to see why.
Serving up a quintessential slice of Classic Vaporwave, II is tailor-made for golden hour cruises and late-night reflection. The album balances synth-heavy melodies with driving basslines, wrapping slow-rolling drum pad beats in a lush, nostalgic haze. It hits a sweet spot that feels delightfully new yet comfortably familiar, channeling the sun-drenched chillwave of artists like HOME, okybby, or a crunchier Hotel Pools. Tracks like “OCREANFRONT” stand out as immediate highlights, capturing that dreamy sunset atmosphere perfectly.

Clearly, some are taking notice, too, II has already been picked up and republished by Sport3000’s label, Dark Web Recordings. Fresh, hypnotic, and endlessly replayable, II proves AUDIO ENGINEERING is one of the most exciting new projects in the genre. Do yourself a favor and put this on repeat.
Pool Plants will be back next week with a fresh recommendation. Until then, thanks for tuning in and reading along!
