Me in my studio: Greymatter

Welcome

Welcome

"I'm Graham, aka Greymatter, representing WOLF Music. This is my basement studio in the heart of Brighton. It's a great spot - it sounds amazing and doesn't have any windows so you can work at any time of the day or night and it feels the same, which is essential for me. It's in the centre of town which makes it a perfect spot for collaborations. There's lots of room - space for two people to play around at once.

"This space is about experimentation and vibe. The setup and layout changes quite a lot to keep things fresh."

“Boring but essential to my workflow. A simple hands-on throwaround outboard mixer for messing with combinations of sounds and FX.”

Greymatter's remix of High ft. Ella Rothwell is out 11 August on Get Some Records.

Deputy Editor

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
