Bicycle Corporation guest DJ Brendon P 'Roots' 56 show originally aired on Sunday 25th of October 2020, listen on the Mixcloud player below. Scientific Sound Asia Radio is the underground radio station for the Asian Region and Internationally.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo of the DJ and producers Marco MEI plus the skilled Stefano Ugliano aka 6884. As a duo, they have released well over 50 tracks and remixes across all genres from Deep to Tech House, French House, and Techno.
In the early nineties, Marco was starting on his musical journey as a DJ and producer. He began doing his nights as a collective known as 'Urban People' throughout Italy.
This gained him notoriety and he earned a residency at Pacha, which led to him getting DJ bookings internationally. This launched him on a musical endeavour around the planet.
Raised in Torino, Italy, Stefano in his early years displayed a fortitude of abilities with music. He studied with a passion for classical piano, percussion, and drums, he loved his Chopins and West African Djembes.
However, over time, that figure of 'the DJ standing on the stage performing' proved more and more mesmerising for the teenage Stefano. He wondered if those very electronic beats, so hard to get on ‘90s Italian radio stations, would launch a very new chapter in his life and then Bicycle Corporation was born.
Even with all their success today, Marco and Stefan have not forgotten their humble beginnings. They’ve recently been going back over some of their earlier tracks and even set up a Bandcamp page to distribute them.
The track list for the next show is laid out below and represents the 'Roots' of their sound and the genres they have drawn influence from in their electronic releases. These genres include Funk, Disco, Soul, Afrobeat, Electro, Rare Groove, Hip Hop, and Afrocentric. Bicycle Corporation is available for booking via our DJ agency for Asia.
Guest DJ Brendon P.
DJ Brendon P whose real name is Brendon Perera is a Singaporean native and prefers the low-profile, lo-fi approach to his work. With a career that’s almost 4 decades young and still growing, Brendon P has a long history of Clubs and Music.
It all started in 1980, in the local mobile circuit, and he moved on to Clubs a year later. A visit to New York in 1984, and visiting clubs such as the Funhouse, the Paradise Garage, Dancetaria and Area weaned him into the New York club culture, and into the music that was to become the house music that we hear today.
Crossing vast musical backgrounds (House, Techno, Disco, Nu Disco, Funk, Soul, Lounge, Electronica) over his years as a DJ, both locally and internationally, he continued to acquire a keen ear and passion for dance music. From doing the Club rounds in the ’80s, both locally and internationally.
He has had residencies with the Juliana’s and Bacchus groups, residencies with Neo Pharaohs, Venom and NOX in the ’90s, and a 9-year residency at the globally renowned, Zouk Club in Singapore. Between July 2001 to May 2009, he also held a 2-year Residency at Kyo, and spent 4 and a half years on the team of Residents at the Swanky CE LA VI Rooftop Club & Skybar at Marina Bay Sands.
He continues to be a regular feature in the local and International Club Circuit today. He has DJ'ed in cities across the globe including Geneva, Gothenburg, Melbourne, London, New York, Miami, Taiwan, Hanoi and Hong Kong, just to name a few.
He also had the privilege of playing at the world-renowned (and now defunct) Cielo Club in New York, in June 2010. Brendon, in his own and separate right, as a producer, has also released his original material and remixes on In The Woods (USA), Los Grandes (Spain), Reversoulmusic (USA), Audio Parallax (UK), and many others.
With his stringent adherence to music style and sophistication and attention to detail, it's not difficult to understand why Nicolas Mattar, owner of New York's 'Cielo' and ‘Output’, calls him a 'taste-master' and one of the best DJ's in the region. Expect nothing less from him, than a set that crosses vast musical boundaries; past, present and future.
