Stavros Potamitis (aka Stevie R) conjures emotion and weaves sonic tales by combining the rebetiko folk music of his Greek homeland with analogue electronics. Working with a range of collaborators he offers forward thinking, avant-garde music and daring, theatrical live performances that freely blend and cross over between musical styles. As well as being a musician, producer and performer, Stevie is a lecturer at Point Blank Music College in London, runs his own record label Inside Out Records and is A & R of Chapter 24 Records. Always looking to push musical and sonic boundaries, he is just as relentlessly focused on moving things forward in his own work as he is committed to supporting the next generations to break through.
Few things people said about his music:
Mixmag: “Melt is a mesmerising collection of organic sounds and esoteric themes from a creative force of nature”
DJ Mag: “It’s goofy, hefty and fierce and has more bass and hand-held percussion than you ever knew you needed. Massive stuff”
Disclosure: Chugger!
Andrew Weatherall: “A right pair of dirty shunters!”
