Stevie R & CERPINTXT [Live] @ Bloop.  [Measuring The Universe]

Freetek aficionado, but also with interest in slow and tight beat with tribal&world twist. Driven up the wall by funkinesswankiness mixed together with tight beats. DJs - if you play a tight set with tight beat - what's the point of going all fluffy & funky-wanky? it definitely puts me off the dancefloor in a nick of time

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!"

Cerpintxt is an electroacoustic progress report concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through phonetic entropy and augmented instrumentation. Working with cut-ups, dialectics, and chaos magick to decimate language and linear constructs of temporality. In an entropic process of lingual erosion into protoconversation, the textural counterparts of her sound include wind instruments, broken turntablism, tape recorders, granular and modular synthesis. She curates the London-based event ‘Boundary Condition’ investigating the parallelization between darkjazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric sonic practices, previously hosting Esperanza Spalding, Shabaka Hutchings, Machinefabriek, Carlos Casas and more. She is a resident on Radio Alhara, Radio syg.ma and Mutant Radio.
