Bicycle Corporation presents guest DJ Brendon P's sixth show, which first aired on Sunday, September 20th, 2020. You can listen to it on the Mixcloud player below the tracklist. Scientific Sound Asia serves as an electronic music station, DJ agency, and promoter for Asia and audiences worldwide.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo consisting of DJ and producer Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, who is also known as 6884. They have released more than 50 tracks spanning all subgenres of House and Techno, such as Melodic, Deep, Tech, and French.
Marco started his career in the early nineties by working as part of the crew for Afrocentric, House, and Techno events such as 'Urban People.' Over time, he gained recognition in the music scene and gradually became highly sought after throughout Italy.
He became well-known and was soon offered a residency at the world-famous Pacha club in Egypt. However, his achievements didn't end there; following significant success in his home country, Marco quickly began receiving international bookings worldwide.
Stefano, hailing from Torino, Italy, displayed potential as an emerging musician from a young age. He developed a strong interest in the musical arts, which quickly consumed much of his free time. He learned classical piano, percussion, and drums, and had a deep appreciation for Chopin's classical works and the rhythm of the West African Djembe.
Despite his dedication to various types of music, there was one passion that stood out for Stefano: the DJ. The man behind the turntables captivated the teenage Stefano, as those beats were rarely heard on Italian radio stations during that period.
Creating those sounds, much less performing them in front of large audiences, might appear to be an unrealistic dream for many. However, Stefano was not discouraged; he had a vision he was determined to fulfil. Through hard work, dedication, and sheer tenacity, Bicycle Corporation was born.
Despite their current success, Marco and Stefan still remember their modest start. Recently, they have been revisiting some of their initial tracks and have even created a Bandcamp page to share them.
Guest DJ Brendon P.
DJ Brendon P real name 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; starting out in 1980, in the local mobile circuit, and moving on to Clubs a year later.
A trip to New York in 1984, along with visits to clubs like the Funhouse, the Paradise Garage, Dancetaria, and Area, introduced him to the New York club scene and the music that evolved into today's house music. Throughout his years as a DJ, both at home and abroad, he explored vast musical backgrounds and maintained a sharp ear and passion for dance music.
In the 1980s, he performed at clubs both locally and internationally with the Juliana’s and Bacchus groups. In the 1990s, he had residencies with Neo Pharaohs, Venom, and NOX, followed by a 9-year residency at the globally renowned Zouk Club in Singapore. From July 2001 to May 2009, he held a 2-year residency at Kyo and spent 4 and a half years as part of the resident team at the upscale CE LA VI Rooftop Club & Skybar at Marina Bay Sands.
His primary music styles currently include House, Techno, Disco, Nu Disco, Funk, Soul, Lounge, and Electronica. He remains a consistent presence in both the local and international club scenes. He has performed as a DJ in numerous cities worldwide, such as Geneva, Gothenburg, Melbourne, London, New York, Miami, Taiwan, Hanoi, and Hong Kong, among others, and has also played at the famous (now closed) Cielo Club in New York.
In June 2010, Brendon independently released his own original material and remixes as a producer. His work has been released on In The Woods (USA), Los Grandes (Spain), Reversoulmusic (USA), Audio Parallax (UK), Hotbox Music (USA), Soul Shift (USA), Defected (UK), Rawjak (SG), Eclesia (SG), Issys Groove (UK), Love International (MY), and One With Music (SG).
Due to his strict commitment to music style and sophistication and meticulous attention to detail, it's easy to see why Nicolas Mattar, the owner of New York's 'Cielo' and 'Output', refers to him as a 'taste-master' and one of the top DJs in the area. You can anticipate from him nothing short of a set that crosses vast musical boundaries, encompassing the past, present, and future.
Brendon P curates a masterful journey in this 'Roots' episode, weaving together Nu-Disco, Funk, and Deep House with an eclectic mix of Italo Disco and Afro-Latin influences. From the soulful touches of Prince's "Sticky Like Glue" to the cosmic disco vibes of Dionigi’s "After-hours," every track tells its own story of groove and rhythm.
Whether you’re a fan of classic Funk, exploring the intricate layers of Rare Groove, or dancing to infectious Nu-Disco beats, this show offers a genre-spanning selection that keeps you hooked. A must-listen for lovers of rhythm-driven music that uplifts and inspires.
