Aldo Vanucci didn't get into music until he was 17,
unlike all these djs and
producers who apparently played sets at youth clubs!
Lucky for Aldo though
when he did get bitten by the clubbing bug it was 1987
so he would still
hear everything from Ten City, to Little Kirk and this
new fashionable acid
music all in one night.
Since then he has become a music junkie, spending all his time working in record shops and djing, and now in much demand in Plymouth where he is now based running the busiest student night in town, Mixmag awarded it no 1 in the west, Wonkeylegs and guesting all round town. This Brighton born, London native still plays regularly for Sancho Panza (check him out at this years notting hill carnival), Eclectic Breaks and various Shoreditch nighteries. He still finds time to be the oldest saturday boy in Soho's Uptown records and his day job of finding music for adverts for Jeff Wayne, the man behind the War of the Worlds. Called an "obsessive vinyl junkie, like myself" by Norman Cook in Jockeyslut ( which he quickly made into a slogan for his t shirt ) and "one to watch" by Dynamo Productions in Update, his unofficial vinyl outings have been aired by the likes of GrandMaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Deadly Avenger and Andy Smith. After being signed to Catskills he went on to remix the likes of Max Sedgely, Dr Rubberfunk, Jon Kennedy and Tummy Touch head honcho Tim "Love" Lee. He also supplied samples to Fatboy Slim for his latest album Palookavaille and will be receiving a remix by his idol on a later single. He has forthcoming tracks featuring Ahmad, Ken Starr and a local singer songwriter called Jennifer McAteer which he describes as "a personal favourite" and others have called "gorgeous groove" and "exquisite". In the UK he will be playing Groove Armada's Love box and Bestival festivals, as well as dj sets in Glasgow, Newcastle and quite a few in London. He is also to be one of the first artists to have a guest mix aired on Fatboy Slims radio show Planet Fatboy to be syndicated on Sirius Satellite.
