Biography
Back in 1999 when Aim’s classic debut LP ‘Cold Water Music’ was released on Manchester’s now defunct Grand Central Records, few could have expected the Aim phenomenon to have been such an unstoppable force. His second long player, ‘Hinterland’ (2002), achieved the kind of critical mass cult following that most artists seldom manage to attain, straddling the impossible void between creative independence and inescapability. ‘Flight 602’ (released on ATIC Records) cemented his reputation as one of the UK's leading underground artists and it’s fair to say that Aim has become ubiquitous in any self-respecting record collection.
Following the release of ‘Hinterland’, Aim began his live adventure and in the years to come his ten-piece band toured the country many times, rocking Glastonbury and selling out Shepherds Bush Empire and Manchester Academy along the way. More recently, he has re-discovered his love of DJ’ing and can be found most weekends spinning his potent blend of hip-hop, house, beats and funk at the country’s more discerning club nights.
Uniquely, for a man whose albums have never stopped selling and whose fan base multiplies with every sample and beat, Andy’s back yard has always been his creative stomping ground.‘What I do would be completely different if I lived in the city. I’m inspired by my surroundings - the beaches, the mountains, the trees and lakes all inform my work to some extent’.
In 2004 Aim left Grand Central and a year later set up his own imprint, ATIC Records. Says Andy, ‘I could never have imagined the amount of work involved with setting up and maintaining the label but I feel we really turned a corner last year. The foundations are solid and we’ve signed our next wave of artists, all of whom make music that energizes me and that I want other people to hear’.
For the last two years Andy has been hard at work in the studio overseeing the production of Crowhead’s upcoming LP ‘Born With Teeth’, recording and producing new label signing Sevens’ debut LP, ‘Defiance In Mind’ and remixing tracks from Gripper’s album ‘A Life Of Consummate Ease’. He’s also producing Niko’s second album and preparing tracks for his own eagerly awaited new long player featuring collaborations with QNC, Mikey D.O.N., Death of the Neighbourhood and James Yorkston.
2010 will see his profile explode.
