When Aim’s Cold Water Music debuted in 1999 it was an underground sensation. A game-changing collection of uplifting cinematic soundscapes, dark jazz fuelled breaks and hard hitting hip-hop beats featuring guest rap legends QNC, AG and YZ. The album went on to shift well over 100,000 physical units and is now seen as a ground-breaking, genre defining UK classic. Two decades on from it’s initial release Cold Water Music sounds as fresh, as inventive and as necessary as it ever did. In constant demand, this short run for Christmas 2022 will sell out fast so grab your fresh, sealed copy straight from the source while stocks last!
