Rae & Christian (Mark Rae and Steve Christian)
Mark Rae and Steve Christian have been working together for over six years as recording artists, producers and remixers. The pair first met when they were both occupying the same rehearsal space in Ducie House, Manchester. The first meeting actually took place when Steve, who is the production strength of the duo, walked past Mark’s studio and informed him that his music was out of key, in the nicest possible way! The pair decided to embark on a partnership that has seen them work for six years and achieve critical and public acclaim for their work.
The duo was the first act to emerge form Grand Central Records, a label that Mark Rae founded. It is a label that has reflected the confident cosmopolitan of post-rave Manchester since it’s birth in 1995. Acts on the label such as Aim, Only Child, Votel and The Funky Fresh Few were all initially introduced to Rae by going into the shop. Mark Rae had acquired music makers and talented DJ’s through word of mouth and the personal touch, an ideal that would continue as the label expanded in size and reputation.
A year after getting together, Rae and Christian enlisted the vocal skills of Veba to add a more diverse flavour to their sound. Contributions to the Grand Central compilations “Frying The Fat” and “Central Heating” attracted attention from the dance music press and their debut album, “Northern Sulphuric Soul” fulfilled this early promise. The swagger of the singles “Spellbound” and “All I ask” and Veba’s quality vocal delivery ensured critical acclaim and admiration for the duo. Their joint appreciation of hip-hop’s flavours did justice to the respected hip-hop acts they were able to call upon.
