Bicycle Corporation is pleased to present guest DJ Murphy Kin, also known as DJ Lucy, for his latest programme titled 'Roots'. Scientific Sound Asia serves as the electronic music station, promoter, and DJ agency for both the Asian region and the global market.
For over a decade, Bicycle Corporation, comprising Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei alongside Stefano Ugliano (also known as 6884), has established itself as a prominent force within the music industry. Their extensive music catalogue spans various genres, including French House, Deep House, Tech House, and Techno, showcasing their versatility and expertise in electronic music.
In the early 1990s, Marco started hosting House and Techno events with 'Urban People.' His impact grew over time, establishing him as a key figure in Italy's music scene. His international performances have broadened his reputation to a global audience.
Hailing from Turin, Italy, Stefano developed a keen interest in music from a young age. This enthusiasm led him to explore classical piano, percussion, and drums, with a particular focus on Chopin and the West African Djembe. His fascination with DJing also grew as he appreciated the skill of turntable manipulation, further deepening his dedication to the art.
Stefano and Marco have consistently navigated the challenges of performing before large audiences, securing a distinctive place within the electronic music sector. Their recent reflection on their earlier tracks, along with the launch of a Bandcamp page, highlights their commitment to musical evolution.
Presented by Marco and Stefano, the "Roots" weekly radio show features an extensive range of music genres, including Funk, Disco, Afrobeat, Rare Groove, Soul, and Brazilian music. In this episode, Marco and Stefano are joined by Taiwanese DJ and promoter Murphy Kin.
Guest DJ Murphy Kin.
This week's guest DJ is Murphy Kin, also known as DJ Lucy. DJ Lucy possesses an insatiable curiosity for discovering new sounds and styles. With a background in the film industry, his transition to DJing and music production has proven to be both limitless and expansive.
Experiencing Lucy's music is akin to watching a film; it features a variety of emotional highs and lows. He does not confine himself to crafting melodies strictly within the 125 to 128 BPM range, as this approach does not provide a consistent 4/4 experience. Instead, he intentionally avoids transporting you to euphoric heights right at the outset of his sets. Rather, he takes you on a journey through his beats, beginning with a gradual build-up, guiding you through romantic rock, classic old school tracks, and flirtatious R&B, before immersing you in Disco, Indie, Rock, and even Dance genres.
His music transports listeners into a cinematic experience, building to a climax with its compelling beats. DJ Lucy, naturally positive and full of energy, possesses a diverse array of musical tastes and is well-versed in numerous genres. He aims to captivate your emotions through rhythmic transitions, seamlessly navigating through styles such as Hip-Hop, Rock, Punk, Indie Rock, and Jazz.
Under the guidance of DJ Lucy, Ting Ting Disco has established a reputation for organising exceptional parties at numerous bars, pubs, clubs, and venues throughout Taipei and Shanghai since its inception in 2015. By 2017, Ting Ting Disco expanded its performances to other cities in China and commenced ongoing tours across Asia.
In 2021, the initiative seeks to offer more than mere parties by also launching online music. By gathering and incorporating music productions from across the globe, it provides music enthusiasts with a wider array of musical options.
During live performances, one discovers that he is a musician who operates without rules or scripts. At times, his playing is influenced by the immediate moments, the vibes, or the atmosphere; at other times, he takes on the role of a director, skillfully guiding the audience's state of mind.
Bicycle Corporation 'Roots' 135 with Murphy Kin opens with timeless Disco anthems from Heatwave’s "One Night Tan" and Gino Soccio’s "Turn It Around (Extended Mix)," instantly setting a retro yet energetic tone that propels you into a world of classic dance grooves.
The mix evolves as iconic Synth‑pop vibes from Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" blend seamlessly with Gayle Adams’ disco flair, while unexpected gems inject a dash of Electronica, creating a layered sonic canvas that pays homage to past eras while pushing creative boundaries.
As the journey continues, the set shifts into a rich spectrum of House, from the deep, pulsating rhythms of Raz’s "Amour Puetro Riqueno" and Natural Order’s "Jealosy" to the raw energy of Shaolin Cowboy’s "Cloud Surf" and the infectious pulse of Sailor Jack’s "Space Beat." Interspersed with Bhangra and Italo Electro tracks, the mix captures the essence of modern dance culture and underground innovation.
Ultimately, Bicycle Corporation 'Roots' 135 with Murphy Kin is a celebration of musical diversity. With standout moments in Japanese Disco, Deep House, Techno, Breakbeat, Indie Dance, and Cantopop, from Pink Lady’s "Do Ya Think I’m Sexy" to remixed classics by Prudence Liew and Annie Bridgewater, the set bridges eras and genres, inviting you to rediscover the timeless joy of dance music.
