With seven releases – including this one – on Schema Records and three – considering also the Cosmorama project – on Milano 2000, Stefano Tirone has tightened his collaboration with the Edizioni Ishtar group. He is today one of the label\u2019s most popular artists, with more than 300.000 monthly listeners and millions of plays of his acclaimed hits on Spotify – more than 3 million overall for his recent digital singles \u201cBlow My Mind\u201d and \u201cNo Meio Do Samba\u201d.<\/p>\n
His previous full-length \u201cBody & Soul\u201d shows influences from the early \u201990s British acid jazz scene and his deep love for the \u201970s soul, Brazilian and jazz music that constitute the basic foundations of S-Tone Inc. Here, instead of asking other artists to remix his tracks, Stefano has decided to do that himself, reworking in a nu-disco key the entire \u201cBody & Soul\u201d record, herein named \u201cThe Disco Experience\u201d.<\/p>\n
The title and the graphic layout take us to a period in time between late \u201970s and early \u201980s when the artist as a teenager, completely absorbed by the sound of disco music, used to go to clubs and discotheques to listen and dance to those unmistakable sonic frequencies. In those years the American DJ Larry Levan and the Italian Mozart and Baldelli used to play their music in front of crowded disco halls, while record labels such as Prelude and Solar set the standards with artists such as D-Train, Sharon Redd, Whispers, Shalamar and their soulful vocals combined to strong basslines, funky guitars and uptempo rhythms.<\/p>\n
This is how \u201cBody & Soul – The Disco Experience\u201d was born, as an homage to the music that Stefano used to immerse in during those adventurous years, with a few exceptions: \u201cNo Meio Do Samba\u201d, a tribute to the house sound of Frankie Knuckles in the early \u201990s, and the two downbeat tracks \u201cFlying Away\u201d, with its essential R&B arrangement, and \u201cMidnight Sun\u201d, that keeps its cinematic mood but with a more funky attitude. \u201cOdoya\u201d is the only track remixed by The Invisible Session in a minimal spacey disco arrangement that fits perfectly with the overall sound of the album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
