Diego and Bee have spent 24 years as partners in life and music, and this record captures that shared journey \u2014 the joy, the messiness, and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in their 20s, they called their life together one long weekend \u2014 carefree, creative, and full of big dreams. This album channels that same energy, while embracing what\u2019s come with time: fear, regret, intimacy, growth, reinvention, and the magnetic pull of coming back to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nine tracks melt into a dreamy blend of electronic beats, analog synths, and expressive guitars, all anchored by vocals that feel like late-night confessions. It\u2019s music you can get lost in \u2014 emotionally rich, but still made for the dancefloor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their sound pulls from everywhere: Latin grooves (Cumbia, Danz\u00f3n), New Wave moodiness, UK club energy (DnB, techno). The result? A record with soul, bounce, and just the right amount of heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930-1024x1024.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ByDS Our Long Weekend cover artwork \" class=\"wp-image-43146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4930.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Our Long Weekend\u2019 track listing<\/strong><br>01.
