The Future
Mark Rae has since released several solo and DJ mix albums and has undertaken a new partnership with sound engineer, Rhys Adams. However, he has expressed an interest in working with Steve Christian again.
| “ | "Unfortunately, Steve walked away from Rae & Christian. I've asked him a few times if he was up for doing an album and he said no. I'm still friends with him but I don't think he particularly enjoys the music industry. I don't see why he doesn't. We did fairly well to be honest with you.
But I've got to do my third (studio) album, which I'm halfway through. Basically, I work very fast and after that, I'll ask him again, and if he wants to do it, we'll have a go. But I can't persuade someone who doesn't really want to do it anymore. I could buy the name off him but that's a bit of a rip-off for the fans. It has to be done properly and Steve has to be involved with all the music that's made for it. That's the bottom line. I'm sure he'll be up for it in the future but it has to be on his terms for wanting to do it because I can't do it with someone who is not interested." |

In his new partnership with Rhys Adams, initial releases came out under the band name ARP (Adams.Rae.Productions). After the demise of Grand Central Records, Rae started a new record label, Yes King Recordings, and his second project with Adams, the band Yes King.
However, in early 2007, Rae stated on his MySpace page, that new recordings were forthcoming both from himself as a solo artist and once again in partnership with Steve Christian, within 18 months.
In addition, Rae stated that he and Adams are currently in the process of re-editing the Rae & Christian back catalogue for a double CD of remixes, including a cappella versions of tracks over alternative backing music.
In 2009, an album of remixes and alternative versions of Rae & Christian tracks, Raiding the Vaults was released. According to Rae's MySpace page, this album was crafted in a collaboration between Yes King and Rae & Christian.
