“We do these compilations to allow the fans to get an insight into the tastes and minds of the host artist… Spoiler alert: Aweminus is clearly insane, but with impeccable taste,” Never Say Die head honcho SKisM states about Never Say Die: Black Label‘s second installment of their Black Ops XL series. If those words aren’t an indication of how well Aweminus has executed the compilation, we don’t know what is.
With Black Ops XL II, Las Vegas-based Brandon Famini, better known as Aweminus, has curated one of the heaviest compilations we have ever heard. First teased through a forty six-minute mix riddled with IDs and riddim favourites, the compilation has set a new standard for the ever-growing genre, as Famini has hand picked only the highest quality tracks from a wide range of talented producers.
Through four tracks of his own, Aweminus flexes his sound design dominance and impeccable flow to solidify himself as one of the underground’s most prominent names. The remaining six songs are further insight into the future of riddim and heavy dubstep, as artists such as Yakz, Bukez Finezt, Algo and the rest continue to find new ways to keep the genre fresh and exciting.
