Bicycle Corporation has announced that guest DJ Brendon P will appear in episode 43 of their 'Roots' show. Scientific Sound Asia functions as an electronic music station, DJ agency, and event management company, serving audiences in Asia and internationally.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian DJ and producer duo consisting of Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, who is also known by his alias 6884. They are celebrated for their versatility, producing music across various genres such as Deep House, Tech House, French House, and Techno.
In the early 1990s, Marco launched his career by organizing house music and techno events as Urban People. His commitment and skill gradually gained him acknowledgement in the music industry, establishing him as a well-known artist across Italy. Nevertheless, Marco's aspirations reached beyond his homeland. His global reputation expanded, leading to bookings around the world, which represented a significant milestone in his career.
Stefano, originating from Torino, Italy, demonstrated an innate talent for music early in life. He dedicated much of his leisure time to cultivating his love for music. Through formal training, he honed his skills in classical piano, percussion, and drums. His musical preferences were diverse, ranging from Chopin's works to the rhythms of the West African Djembe, highlighting his wide-ranging musical interests.
Stefano held a profound appreciation for different music genres, but his true passion lay in his strong affection for Disc Jockeys and their music. In the nineties, during his teenage years, he was especially captivated by the rhythmic beats produced by DJs, mainly because they were seldom heard on Italian radio stations.
While playing music in front of a large audience may appear to be an unattainable dream for many, Stefano remained devoted to his objective. Motivated by constant determination, relentless effort, and steadfast dedication, he and Marco progressed to establish Bicycle Corporation.
Despite their recent successes, Marco and Stefan stay connected to their roots. They've recently revisited some of their early tracks, embarking on a nostalgic journey, and have established a Bandcamp page for distribution. Their Roots radio show features famous DJs and producers from Asia's electronic music scene, demonstrating their dedication to the region's lively musical environment.
