Over the last 6 years Aim has established himself as one of the UK's leading underground artists releasing the critically acclaimed 'Cold Water Music' and 'Hinterland' albums as well as remixing a whole host of artists including Ian Brown, St Etienne & The Charlatans.
Having left Grand Central and launched his own independent label - ATIC Records - Aim is gearing up for the release of the third album, 'Flight 602' which looks set to propel him to further heights when it's released in August.
Acting as an outlet for Aim’s new material and a launch pad for a host of great new acts, ATIC looks set to become a benchmark label. The label is already turning many heads having released the first ATIC 12” EP including Aim's dangerously funky 'Smile' which prompted DJ Magazine to declare "the hottest label kick start out of Manchester for a while."
The new LP 'Flight 602' will hit the shelves in summer 2006 and Aim has been working closely with fellow ATIC artist and Aim live vocalist Niko on his new material. He’s bursting to get it out there; “Musically, it's a a definite progression from anything I've done previously. I think it makes my old stuff sound amateurish,” he says, “so I reckon it’ll do alright.”
The Aim 9-piece live band consists of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, horns, flute, alto-sax and vocals - it's one of the funkiest, tightest bands on the circuit - they'll be out doing a full UK tour around release of 'Flight 602' and are looking forward to rocking Big Chill's Open Air stage. "I just can't wait" says Aim.
