For Graham Best, the person responsible for collating and pushing a slew of artists you are no doubt now familiar with (if you regularly read site’s like ours), through fabric’s Elevator Music compilation, his position up until now might have been a little bit unclear. With one foot in publishing and the other on the dancefloor – his arms probably reaching as high as they can to bang the roof/air conditioning pipes in appreciation of whatevers caught his ear – he’s been in the background of several projects since that compilation came out, working closely with Martyn to help run his 3024 label.

A person whose fanatically knowledgeable about music, Best has the kind of foresight that every burgeoning A&R should be a little bit jealous of. His desire to create a label of his own is something that we’ve personaly discussed at length, on numerous occasions and the other week, when I met him to grab a copy of his new Granholme empire’s debut release from the young producer Graphics (who here handles this week’s Sonic Router mix), there was a noticeable excitement about him…
