🔈🔈NEW MUSIC ALERT!!!🔈🔈

Autumn 2024 is not only marked by S-Tone Inc.’s new single 'Pressure' but also by the comeback of British singer Julia St. Louis in a collaboration with Stefano Tirone, after having worked with him in his early recordings.

'Pressure' is a mid-tempo soul-funk song deeply influenced by the sound of the 80s that gave birth, for example, to Simply Red’s cover of 'Money’s too Tight to Mention'; S-Tone Inc.’s contemporary attitude, however, makes this track sound modern and fresh.
The song lyrics tell about how, by living in this modern day and age, we constantly face difficulties that cause a strong pressure on us.

Available now on all streaming platforms and digital stores!

💃NEW MUSIC ALERT🕺

Today S-Tone Inc. shares ‘Guajira’ (Remix) - a rework of his own rendition of the classic Santana hit 'Guajira’.

The single is a further step towards his upcoming new album (Fall 2024) and shifts the song’s coordinates towards nu-disco, thanks to the addition of a pumping funky bass and scratchy funky guitars, making it perfect for a summer night dancefloor experience.

🔈🔈Out today,New music from S-Tone Inc. !!!🔈🔈

Santana's hit 'Guajira', released on his third album 'Santana III' in 1971, is reshaped by Stefano "S-Tone Inc." Tirone with his unmistakable sound.
Originally a simple Cuban cha cha that revolves around a funky groove, 'Guajira' is enhanced by S-Tone Inc. with a new harmonic chord progression that, with the addition of minimal electronic hints, and a disco rhythm reminiscent of El Coco transform it into a modern Latin gem.
Manuela Ravaglioli and German Leguizamon share the vocal duties, recreating the blend of the original version but with a more sensual feel.

'Guajira' is the first single in a series that will lead to the release of a new S-Tone Inc. album scheduled for Autumn 2024.

Triple delight - Today, we're excited to share three (yes, you heard right!) new records from our very own The Dining Rooms, Toco, and Gerardo Frisina!

• The Dining Rooms’ 'Songs to Make Love To' marks their 10th studio album release, coinciding with their 25th anniversary. The album seamlessly blends psychedelic folk, cinematic atmospheres, and hip hop-inspired downtempo rhythms

• ‘Riviera’ represents the aesthetic synthesis of Toco’s many facets, crafting true musical mosaics that mix pop lightness, poetic lyricism, longing, joy, and pain. This balance, evident in his previous albums 'Instalação do Samba', 'Outro Lugar', and 'Memoria', is enriched as always by the production of friend and musical partner Stefano Tirone, known as S-Tone Inc.

• While Gerardo Frisina works on a new album, he's graciously gifted our ears with a new 7” single - 'Mystical Funk / Spaced Out’, skillfully blending modern funk elements with electronic influences

Check them out at your favorite local or online record store. Digital versions are available via our Bandcamp page and all digital streaming platforms

Coming out this Friday is new single ‘As Vezes’, a captivating and engaging song exploring the various moments within a romantic relationship, delving into its different facets, encounters, and disagreements.

pre-save here - https://bfan.link/as-vezes-1

Written by Toco and Stefano "S-Tone Inc." Tirone, with production by Tirone himself, "As Vezes" was recorded at Schema Records' Blue Spirit studios. The song beautifully blends bossa nova and samba elements, and is highlighted by the contrast between the contrasting dynamics, with the softness of the voices harmoniously juxtaposed against the lively and striking presence of Gianluca Petrella's brass arrangement. Joining Petrella in the recording studio were talented musicians such as Ramiro Levy (guitar, vocals), Edu Hebling (bass), Mauro Martins (drums), Priscila Ribas (vocals), Eduardo Taufic (keyboards), and Marquinho Baboo (percussion). Their collective contributions enhance the richness and depth of "As Vezes," making it a memorable and engaging musical experience.
