Bicycle Corporation has announced that guest DJ Brendon P will headline their upcoming 'Roots' 84 show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio functions as an underground radio station and DJ agency, catering to the Asian Region and beyond, while also reaching out to international audiences.
Bicycle Corporation comprises the Italian duo of DJ and producer Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, who is also known as 6884. They have gained renown for their diverse catalogue, boasting over 50 releases spanning multiple genres including Techno, Deep House, House, Melodic, and French House.
In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his career by immersing himself in the House Music and Techno events, participating as a crew member for nights like 'Urban People.' His growing influence within the music scene elevated his status, making him a sought-after figure throughout Italy. Yet, Marco's journey didn't halt within the confines of his homeland. Building upon his domestic success, he swiftly garnered international recognition, securing bookings across the globe.
Hailing from Torino, Italy, Stefano exhibited early musical talent during his formative years. With a profound passion for the musical arts, he dedicated a substantial portion of his leisure time to refining his skills. Stefano's musical journey encompassed a range of pursuits, from studying classical piano and percussion to mastering drums. He held a particular fondness for the compositions of Chopin and the intricate rhythms of West African Djembe.
Amidst Stefano's exploration of diverse music genres, one passion eclipsed all others: the magnetic allure of DJing. From his teenage years onwards, Stefano found himself entranced by the art of spinning records. The pulsating beats and rhythms emanating from the turntables held a rare appeal, especially considering their scarcity on Italian radio stations during that era.
For many, the notion of crafting and performing such sounds, let alone sharing them with audiences, may have appeared as an unattainable dream. However, Stefano remained undeterred, fuelled by a vision he was determined to realise. With Marco's support and their shared commitment, unwavering dedication, and sheer tenacity, Bicycle Corporation became a reality, epitomising the duo's relentless pursuit of their musical ambitions.
Even amidst their current success, Marco and Stefano maintain a connection to their humble origins. Recently, they've revisited some of their earlier tracks, reflecting their gratitude for the musical journey they've undertaken. Additionally, they've established a Bandcamp page to distribute these tracks, providing fans with an opportunity to reconnect with the duo's beginnings.
