Stevan Krakovic is a Sound Engineer and Music Producer operating from his own Electronic Memory Studio in Frankfurt and Cowshed Studio in London.

​

Stevan was nominated and shortlisted for „Breakthrough Engineer of the Year“ in the MPG Awards 2011 and „Breakthrough Producer of the Year“ in the MPG Awards 2012.

Having started out mastering live recordings by the likes of The Melvins, The Posies & The Donnas for Austrian's cult radio show Subbacultcha Stevan has now come full circle after 19 years of working in London, specialising in mixing and mastering at his new Electronic Memory Studio in Frankfurt designed by legendary acoustician Fritz Fey.

​

During his time in London Stevan carved out quite a reputation working on numerous successful and critically acclaimed alternative rock and folk records, Stevan often likes to take a very classic approach to production: Working closely with the artists to get the songs and arrangements perfect and the band tightly rehearsed, to be able to go to the studio and capture great performances and emotion in beautiful sounding spaces. At other times modern production, layering sounds and studio experimentation are more appropriate and Stevan will do whatever the artistic vision requires.

Stevan enjoys recording on location (much of Wolf People’s „Fain“ album was recorded with a mobile setup in an old gatehouse near the Yorkshire Dales) as well as old school recording (all live in a room with no headphones and no overdubs) such as the legendary London folk & jazz collective Whiskey Moon Face’s album, which Stevan recorded.

​

Originally from Frankfurt in Germany Stevan can look back on a 24 year career, which spans from extensive work in UK underground Hip Hop, recording, mixing and producing for Jehst, Scribla & Kyza (Terra Firma), Tommy Evans & Kingpin to working on a long list of alternative rock and folk records for the likes of  Tom Mansi & the Icebreakers, Paul Mosley and Wolf People amongst others. Other clients include Jazz and cabaret greats Polly Rae, Dusty Limits & Daisy Chute as well as labels like Jagjaguwar and Kartel and corporate clients such as Lufthansa and library music for Boosey & Hawkes.

Since 2009 Stevan runs a small independent record label, Metric Acorn, which has since seen releases by Tom Mansi & The Icebreakers, The Damn Jammage and various others.

Stevan was on the board of directors of the Music Producers Guild (UK) for over six years, heading the Campaigns Group campaigning for proper credits and royalties in the digital world.

After mixing an originals Jazz Album for Katie Birtill (which went straight to number 1 on the iTunes Jazz charts), an album for Mexican/French maestro Paul Bidault  and producing a single with Ghost Face Killah Stevan is currently working with classical singer Maria Mysachenko on her folk pop project MASHA.
