It’s not often, if ever, that you see a number and think to yourself, “How perfect?” nets however have a perfect following of 808 SoundCloud followers at this moment and are back with another top-tier trap presentation in ‘aw man!’. The duo of Ethan and Benji have slid under the radar for some time, but when they come out to play it is always a win for their record books. Being featured in Volume 19 of the FUXWITHIT Focus Five series, we have continued to keep a close eye on nets. They carry an element that is reminiscent of the early SoundCloud days of uploading raw beats that hit hard, which is exactly what we search for at the FUXWITHIT headquarters. With their last release ‘RE UP‘ coming to us just three months ago, we hope ‘aw man!’ carries the momentum to seeing more releases soon. And we may get just that.
When placing on my over-the-ear headphones the goal is to become fully immersed into the society of the track being presented. As I shut out the chaotic world around me and dive into ‘aw man!’ I am immediately mesmerized by the underlying melody. It is subtle although it sustains a firm structure. The track conveys a beautiful sense of modern nostalgia. ‘aw man!’ is faultless and straightforward throughout the first half. However, what happens in the second half is something I guarantee no one will be prepared for. nets were kind enough to provide us their time to give some quick insight on what they’ve been up to for the past year and the direction of the track.
We’ve been real quiet on releases over the last year because we’ve been working on refining our sound and we feel like we are at a point we are ready to start releasing more stuff. This track was a real blend of all our influences from timbo to Carmack to Dabow. – nets
