Grand Central Records was an independent record label based in the Northern Quarter of Manchester, UK. It was started in 1995 by DJ Mark Rae (who, along with Steve Christian makes up the duo Rae & Christian). Rae started out working as manager of the Fat City Records' store (which is now also a record label). The two labels maintained a close relationship, co-hosting club nights including Friends and Family.

Grand Central's also had a digital sub-label, GC3.

As of May 2006, Grand Central Records ceased operating as a record label and the official website was closed down. The label was allegedly investigated by the MCPS with regard to unpaid royalties and the resultant bill was so large that it forced the label into liquidation.


QNC are New York Hip hop artists, rapper QBall (Mike Ball) and DJ / producer Curt Cazal. Originally members of J.V.C. F.O.R.C.E (Justified By Virtue For Obvious Reasons Concerning Entertainment), QNC later collaborated with Rae & Christian and Aim. Their debut album, Duo Dynamic, was released in 2005.

The Nudge is Christian Wood (aka Woody), a DJ from Salford, Manchester, signed to Grand Central Records by Mark Rae. So far, The Nudge has only released a couple of 12" singles, Bumpin' and Quickness (feat. The Rusty Pelicans a.k.a. The Rusty Ps), although further tracks and remixes appear on the Grand Central albums, Grand Central Vol. 1, Grand Central Vol. 2, Grand Central Translation, Grand Central Vol. 3 and Underground Crown Holders.


Aim left Grand Central Records in early 2005 and formed his own record label, ATIC Records, in June 2006. Niko has also signed to this label, along with Gripper and Paperboy.
