Description:
Andy Turner, aka Aim, was born and raised in the rugged landscapes of Cumbria and spent his youth enjoying the finest years of Manchester's musical renaissance. The son of a jazz drummer in a music loving Northern family, he began collecting vinyl as a kid and became a devoted adult crate digger. His love of making beats saw him hanging around the record shops of Oldham St in the Northern Quarter, where he handed a demo to Mark Rae and eventually signed to Grand Central Records. From his home in the Lake District, Aim has forged a career as a most unlikely hip hop artist over three albums for the label. His debut album in '99 was an astounding success; 'Cold Water Music' married powerful beats and intricate melodies with stunning, uniquely English vocals about lost love and winter weather. A DJ since his early 20s, Aim has taken his live band on the road in recent years. He is now working on his next artist album and concentrating on DJing.
Aim: "I've been DJing for about 12 years. I began collecting vinyl when I was about 7 or 8, the first band I really got into was Tubeway Army and I had all their stuff. Since then I've amassed far too many records and at the moment I'm in the process of trying to get rid of half of them to make room for the arrival of my baby in a few months I really love seeing people dance and get off on tunes. I try and play different styles of music during a gig but at the same time give it continuity and a progression."
FABRICLIVE. 17 is an unhurried journey through Aim's record collection and influences. Like his DJ sets, the selection of hip hop, soul and funk tracks are often allowed to play out. Opening with the languid sounds of label-mate Tony D, Aim segues and fades Boards Of Canada, James Yorkston's delicate folk, and INI, Scott Lark, Lewis Parker and Boogiemonsters deep and melodic hip hop. Lords Of The Underground make a welcome appearance with their classic 'Faith', and there's lashings of sub-sonic melody as Bloik invite you to lounge around. The incredibly rare, and beautiful saxophone drenched, 'Today' from Tom Scott (containing Pete Rock & CL Smooth's 'T.R.O.Y.' sample), will be a welcome interlude for fellow collectors. Aim switches down a gear, with A Tribe Called Quest, Ed OG & Da Bulldogs lament and exciting hip hop producer Prefuse 73 turns up with Diverse. Characteristic funk selections include Telegraph Avenue, Tempo 70 and The Village Callers. The relaxed journey concludes with Ice Cube's 'It Was A Good Day', the country stylings of The Byrds, and Fingathing's gentle 'Lady Nebula'.
Aim: "A kaleidoscopic journey through some of my favourite music."
