Scottish producer Matthew Aldworth, better known to the underground as CRÈME DE MENTHE.
Started out as a guitarist in a Thrash Metal band. When I turned 18 I moved to Edinburgh. For three years gained a lot of experience playing live - Studied guitar and drums and developed my song writing.
Decided that bands were not for me. Moved to Glasgow in 1998 with the intention of making dance music. I had very little previous experience, however having the support of good friends involved in the Glasgow club scene I gradually found the area I was most interested in. Green velvet was the first act that made an impression.
Got a loan and bought my gear !!! - an AKAI MPC 2000 and a Nord lead 2. Started out playing at parties, then played at nights that my friends and I organised. Got involved with ‘Optimo’ in early 2001 and since then have built up a name for myself within Glasgow. The Plastique EP has done than I expected. I just want to keep making music and whatever happens happens |
