RsR

RiskSinRip (RsR) is an Italian, London-based music artist and producer, who first started making music when he was 14 years old, singing and playing guitar in various new-wave and post-punk bands.
His passion for artists such as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, inspired a more experimental approach to music, with the purchase of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.Further musical development necessitated more versatile machinery, such as the Roland MC303 and MC505, with which he produced his first songs.
 He then began extensive collaborative work with dub and ambient artist Szvaszo, who introduced him to ambient music.Artists such as Black Dog, Aphex Twin, and Autechre, soon became RsR’s musical role-models.A more adventurous approach required investment in more flexible tools, which introduced RsR to software such as Cubase, and Vortex hardware.
In 2002 RsR moved to London and created the project RiskSinRip, moving on to working with Ableton Live, and in 2005 he formed the musical project MeIcon, with London-based artist Home Alone.The duo released several tracks and collaborated with artists including Lilies On Mars, as well as remixing music for Sunny Day Sets Fire.When MeIcon ended, RsR concentrated full-time on his solo project until he was contacted by Studio3Rekords, with whom he remixed tunes for artists We Are From 1965, Pardon My French and Thierry Roland.
My first EP, called “Shaft” is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon and Beatport.


Sotirios Vlachopoulos, commonly known by his nickname Sam Velvet, is a Greek DJ and music producer who was born and raised in Aigio. Growing up in a musical family and being highly influenced by his parents, Sam started expressing his interest in music from a very young age. Between the mid 1980’s and late 1990’s, he was introduced to a great number of music genres by his peers or other foreign friends of his including new wave, electro pop, electronic music, tribal, house, deep and tech house. At the tender age of 16, he was first proposed to play music at local bars and clubs owing, in this way, his own fan base. His music was appreciated by many acclaimed DJs and music composers, who encouraged him to move to Athens permanently and start out as a professional DJ. A new chapter in Sam’s life had just begun! A few years later, however, he decided to return back to his hometown, without stopping getting involved in the vibrant nightlife of Athens, in an attempt to create his own music. The emotion he puts into his work and the messages he wishes to spread through his music enabled him to sign his first two contracts with KP Recordings & Empire Studio Records.
