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."

“Not mine, but in the same room so it sees a lot of action. An incredible synth - so rough and big sounding.”

“Once again, not mine but in the same room. Doesn't get a lot of use, but if you need that sound it's a go to.”

“I don't want to spend on an RE-201 so this is here instead. I love it and use it on most external synths.”

“Super underrated 3-oscillator analogue rack synth. A monster. I use it on everything.”

“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.

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.
