Stevie R, otherwise known by the name of Stavros Potamitis, has been making some heads turn in the industry since his Producing/DJ career inception. Introduced to classical music at an early age, Stavros decided to take his early years of experimentation and knowledge to put towards a career in making music.
Alongside his prominent personal career, while in London, Stavros decided to branch out and help construct the ever-evolving Inside Out Records. Running his own label Inside Out Records, working as a sound designer for the renowned Cr2 Records, and releasing his own music have kept Stevie R busy for the last couple of years. His productions have hit labels the likes of OFF Recordings, Motek, Union Jack Records, Inside Out, Steyoyoke and the list keeps going. His music has also been charted by music pioneers like Nick Warren and picked up by HBO for the famous series 'Girls'. Furthermore, 'Deep Analogue House' Sample Pack, which he designed for Cr2, proudly figured at Beatport's number 1 chart position for more than a month.
What's more Stevie R is a renowned dj with plenty of significant local and international shows throughout the last decade. To name a few of the venues: Ritter Butzke (Berlin), Fire (London), Cavo Paradiso (Mykonos), Loook (Saint Petersburg), Cargo (London) Rhythm Factory (London), Café 1001(London), Ground 281 (London), Horse And Groom (London)
It might seem hard to believe that Stavros has achieved all that at such an early age considering he entered University Of Peloponnese in 2006 to study 'Telecommunications Engineering'. After his graduation and having obtained a good background in digital signal processing, he moved to London in 2012 to join Point Blank School Of Music, where he obtained his 'Music Production and Sound Engineering' Diploma. Shorty after handling him his diploma, Point Blank wrote a student success article for him.
Motek, London, said:
"Many artists thrive on hype but others let the music do the talking. Stevie R is one of those that let the music speak for itself. He is one of the most underrated producers in the scene at the moment"
Stevie indeed doesn't thrive on hype. He is one of those sitting countless hours in his studio, field recording trains and construction workers just to give people something really worth listening to.
Ambitious? Future will tell…

“A superb EP right here; some stunning low-slung vibes. Really digging ’Stick Shift’, but the overall pick for me is ’Beautiful Strange’, which sounds like something which could be the deep-house electronic love-child of Depeche Mode, Gary Newman & Kraftwerk! Love it ☺“ Favourite Track: Beautiful Strange (Original Mix)

PACK SUMMARY
Following on from the success of their number 1 selling pack - EDM Festival Kicks + Drops, world-renowned label Cr2 Records are proud to bring to you their second release - Deep Analogue House.
Continuing our commitment to giving you essential collections of production tools this pack contains over 630mb of killer audio content and 25 mins of informative video tutorials and a booklet outlining techniques, tips and tricks from the producer.
Not only do you get the tools to create your next dance floor bomb, you also get the science behind these meticulously crafted sounds.
Inspired by the sound of artists such as Tale of Us, Guy Gerber and Âme, the emphasis in this pack is on dark, brooding melodies, complex modulating arps and deep analogue synth flavours.
In order to achieve this we called upon some classic synthesisers and drum machines including - TB 303, Minimoog Voyager XL, Moog Sub Phatty, Moog Minitaur, Access Virus, Nord Lead 3, Juno 60, TR 808, TR 909, TR 707.
The pack was also created using an old school aesthetic; tape hiss was left in, if the quantisation wasn't perfect but the groove was right then thats how it was left.
We made a conscious effort not to over-engineer things to allow these analogue sounds to shine through.
Produced by London based Deep House producer Stevie R this pack is jammed with rolling basslines, punchy key-labelled kicks, deep and melodic synth and music loops, vintage flavoured drum loops and inspiring FX sounds and fills.
There are also 6 key-labelled songstarters comprising a mixed idea and all the component stems to get the creative juices flowing.
As always with our packs every melodic part (with the exception of arpeggiated parts) is available as a MIDI equivalent to make changing sounds or editing melodies a breeze.
