THE LATEST... Saturday 10/05/2008

Hello

Welcome to the AIM website where you will find an abundance of resources, contacts and practical advice for independent record labels.

Here at AIM we have some great events and initiatives planned for members in 2008. This year we will hold events looking at the live sector, doing business internationally, synchronisation licensing and many more key areas of business. We will also be launching some exciting new member services based on feedback from last year's annual membership survey - our new E-Guide to Synchronisation Licensing is our first publication of the year, and is free to members.

Whether you are a member or just interested in AIM and independent music, we hope you find our website an interesting and valuable resource.

Label of the Month

Our label of the month is Rough Trade

Rough Trade is not only a fantastic record label, but a top class independent music retailer too. In the current climate of falling music sales many retailers have sadly closed their doors, but Rough Trade has found its niche and is thriving.

Last summer they opened the UK's largest record shop, Rough Trade East on London's Brick Lane, providing an outlet for labels and acts that don’t yet have distribution deals, as well as the releases of more established talent.

The store is fast becoming a destination for music fans; a place to discover new music, socialise, watch performances and hang out. The store is great news for music producers and music fans alike.
