"Meridio" is the meeting point of two journeys — Gerardo Frisina and Francesco Borrelli, a collaboration forged over more than a decade, rooted in a shared Mediterranean sensibility that moves between order and improvisation, elegance and instinct.

Their debut 7-inch brings two tracks: 'Partenope' and 'Ligea' — muses and symbols of the Mediterranean Sea. A dense, layered sound that filters the funk and progressive aesthetics of the 70s and 80s through a contemporary lens.

The title nods both to Prelude Records, the New York disco label that shaped the sound of the late ’70s, and to Eumir Deodato’s 1973 CTI classic - inspirations that echo through S-Tone Inc.’s sophisticated, cosmopolitan sound.
