What a fantastic and thoughtful review of our latest release, the new mini-album from Stevie R, by Life Can Dance!

Check out their excellent blog here: https://www.lifecandance.com/reviews

On July 15th, the London based producer Stevie R presented his EP “Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias”, finishing the journey he started only a few weeks ago with his previous release “Oropós.” Both of these artistic expressions come together to create a two-part mini album edited by the versatile English label, Chapter 24. The work also includes a collaboration with Parisinos, their indispensable friend of adventures and fellow manager of the rising star label Inside Out records.

In the endless sea of record releases where the speed of what’s new often seems to submerge us in the tyranny of repetition, Stevie R is a breath of fresh air that illuminates an unknown land. The key to this novelty is twofold: the folkloric elements of the Greek music, Rebetiko, which remind us to his homeland (Stevie R’s real name is Stavros Potamitis), and the avant-garde electronic music in analog. He calls this new laboratory of sound experimentation “Rebetrónica.”

Our top choice from part one is the original version of “Oropós”, where his formula seems to play out to perfection. The vocals are catchy and psychedelic, sustained by a resounding groove and Italo-style arpeggios. “Melina (on Acid)" seduces us with her acid disco evening wear and Kiwi rounds off the EP with a kick that is a little more “clubber” than the original version.

Part two opens with the namesake of the EP. It’s a kind of hallucinatory space Western that takes places in some arid landscape, where the backing vocals speak of an imagined tragedy. “Saté Saté Saté” is perhaps the most playful song. It’s the moment of satire in this surprising Greek theatre. The final act “Túka” takes us on a hypnotic trip to the cosmos, complete with robotic voices and rough modulations. Dionisos seems to steal the scene with his intoxicating ritual that multiplies itself on the dance floor.

We are living in dark times, where celebrations have come to a standstill all over the world. In a normal universe, we would have witnessed the launch of one of the most original works of the year, and “Rebetrónica” would quickly become the new beat of summer.

"In ‘Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias’ Stevie R continues to push his beloved creation, the Rebetronica sound. The folk music of Greece fused together by a mixture of indie, techno and dark disco influences. The title track opens with a menacing break beat line and 808 kick bass, laced with a hypnotic SH 101 acid arp line and the disorientating sounds of Greek folk music, which are complimented by the haunting vocals of Anna Maria X. Welcome to the musical cosmos of Stevie R!"

Released on Wednesday 15 July.

PREMIERE: Stevie R feat. Parisinos - Saté Saté Saté [Lagasta]

Listen here >> soundcloud.com/lagasta/premiere-stevie-r-sate-sate-sate-feat-parisinos

Full review here (copied below) >> http://www.lagasta.com/premiere-stevie-r-sate-sate-sate-feat-parisinos

"We are surrounded by tons of music, both good and bad, that it’s more difficult to find the ones giving you the chills. We even wonder if there is more to be discovered and delivered in terms of musical genres, or have we pushed innovation to its limits? And while we have these questions and thoughts, Greek London-based visionary musician, producer, and performer Stavros Potamitis, aka Stevie R, is here with the follow-up of the first part of his mini-album release, “Oropós”, offering three more doses of groundbreaking, goose-bumping sounds.

“Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias” continues to push Stevie’s beloved creation, the Rebetronica sound; the combination of his homeland folk music Rebetiko with analogue electronics, indie, techno, and dark disco influences. This great album is the result of Stevie R’ s partnership with London-based prolific DJ and producer, Constantinos Parisinos, aka Parisinos, who is also the co-owner of the experimental label Inside Out Records together with Stevie. “Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias”, which will drop on Chapter 24 Records, is the epitome of what we call forward-thinking and the negative answer to our question above; new ideas that make us shiver still exist.

As can be seen, we are delighted that LAGASTA is premiering tonight the second splendid track of the mini album’s second part, named “Saté Saté Saté”, an epic ride to an analogue paradise. Layers of diverse synths are popping up while the drum machine is playing games with your ears, the melody sounds wicked, the awkward vocal samples join the club and the bassline, which is an earworm in itself, holds everything together. A 70s psychedelic feel gives the piece the air of the classic and the blend is simply amazing; a track you will definitely dance to. Blast it out now, exclusively on LAGASTA.

“Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias” drops on July 15th via Chapter 24 Records. Pre-order it here and welcome yourself to the musical cosmos of Stevie R >> smarturl.it/CH045B

Scheduled for release on July 15th, our pick of the bunch, ‘Túka’, sees Stevie R and Parisinos embark on a cosmic voyage propelled by a heady groove, robot vocals and gritty modular arps."
