S-Tone Inc.

Stefano Tirone's primary music project since 1992. His first music experiences date back to the early 1980s, during the new wave era (with tracks included into “Gathered” and “Body Section”, two compilations released by the magazine Rockerilla), but who, as a producer, starts working in the early 1990s, alternating house production to funky productions.

The influence of the British acid jazz scene of the early 90’s and his deep love for the 70’s soul and jazz music are the foundations of the S-Tone Inc. project, that starts in 1992 with the track Get Freaky Now, that received great appreciation in the UK and represents one of the earliest examples of "made in Italy" acid jazz music. His debut album was released in 1996 on the Milano 2000/Ishtar label under the title Love Unlimited and contains the track Ainda Sonhar, a composition that was one of the forerunners of the nu bossa genre and that got included into tens of compilations all over the world.

In 1997 he releases under the name Cosmorama a monothematic drum and bass project entitled “Space Odyssey”. Mainly through the third album under the name S-Tone Inc., released in 2002 on Schema/Ishtar and entitled Sobrenatural, he refines his style, made of Brazilian, soul and jazz influences, without forgetting the experiences that he’d made with various Italian and British DJ’s in the house music scene.

In 2003 he starts to work with Toco ( Tomaz Di Cunto ) a brazilian songwriter. Stefano Tirone produces his three albums Instalaçao do samba, Outro lugar and Memoria and together they write and perform several tracks for the S-Tone Inc project in all the following releases (Luz y sombra, Moon in libra, Lost & Found, Onda and Body & Soul).
