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!"

Named a ‘stellar edits provider’ by Mixmag and the ‘nu-disco don’ by Juno, Andy Buchan​ has become one of the most consistent names in the disco and edit scene for the past few years with chart-topping releases on dozens of disco-fried labels including Peppermint Jam, Hot Digits, Midnight Riot, Paper Disco and on his own Hot Gorilla Records imprint.    

Hot Gorilla Records launched with a bang including several Juno Download No.1s, multiple Traxsource Top 10s and four tracks in the Best of 2021 Beatport chart. Plus they’ve had repeat plays from BBC 6 Music and support from Greg Wilson, Horse Meat Disco and Craig Charles. Hot Gorilla Records also supported The Brand New Heavies on their 2021 sell-out tour across the UK. 
Andy’s own music has been picked up for reviews in DJ Mag and Mixmag, plus radio support from 6Music and Rinse FM and club and festival plays from big-name DJs including Bicep, Claptone, Horse Meat Disco, Greg Wilson, Peggy Gou, Justin Robertson, Electric Chair and more. And he was also asked to enter his music collection into the British National Library Sound Archive.     
He’s currently the resident DJ at Flight Club and Chow Down in Leeds and a regular guest DJ at leading Edinburgh venue The Street. Alongside that, Andy has played across the UK in recent years, warming up for Huey 6 Music, Dr Packer, Groove Armada, Psychemagik, Hot Chip and more. 

This is just the latest chapter in Andy’s career. After freelancing for Mixmag and training as a journalist, he moved to Dubai in 2004, working for Time Out Dubai before launching DJ Mag Middle East. He was a regular on the club and festival scene, first with his own long-running, award-winning nights and with long-term residencies at Pacha and Trilogy. He was also booked for Creamfields UAE twice and cemented his open-genre, curveball DJ style by playing alongside a wide variety of DJs including Fatboy Slim, Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Todd Terje, Norman Jay, Liam Gallagher, Feel My Bicep, Graeme Park and more. 

Now back in the UK, he’s become a mainstay of the disco scene while his label Hot Gorilla Records continues to grow into one of the most exciting labels in the scene including 2022 festival slots at Beatherder and Standon Calling.

Influcenced by Artists such as DJ Caspa, Timmy P, Kerri Chandler, Chris Stussy, Revivis, Mike Sharon, DJ Steaw, Burnski, James Dexter to name a few.

Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

The label has been releasing collective records with artists such as Bawrut, Balam, A-Tweed, Omri Smadar, Matias Aguayo, Fantastic Twins, Philou Louzolo, Deena Abdelwahed, Curses, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Martin Noise, J.A.K.A.M., Omar Joesoef, MR TC, Pletnev, Anastasia Zems, John Parsey, Errortica, The Juan MacLean, Khidja, Roe Deers, Cosmo Vitelli, Ground, Sascha Funke, Fargo Devianti & Vongold, Daniel Monaco, Fringe Society, Elfenberg, Timothy Clerkin, A-Tweed, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier, Pletnev, nICo, Strapontin, Simple Symmetry, Que Sakamoto, Kubebe, Jonathan Kusum, Kaan Duzarat, Los Ninos Del Parque, Feller, Mekine U Teksi, Bab, Linja, Lion's Drum, Mishell, Ayma, Kincaid, Balam, Juan To Tree, Mytron & Ofofo, Niv Ast, Damon Jee, Thomass Jackson, Rina, Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, Hipless, N.O.Y, Oded Gafni, Radial Gaze, Fabio Fabio, Omar Joesoef, Da Iguana, Neskeh, Warum and all artists that collaborated to our edit series Re-Phrase Collection...
