Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo consisting of DJ and Producer Marco Mei and the talented Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. They have more than 50 releases spanning genres such as Deep House, Tech House, French House, Melodic, and Techno.
In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical path as a DJ and producer. He founded a DJ and promotion collective called Urban People, which started organizing events throughout Italy.
Having established a reputation in his home country, he secured a residency at the prestigious Pacha Club in Egypt. His skill on the turntables earned him recognition as a party starter, leading to additional international bookings.
Stefano, his accomplice, was born in Torino, Italy, and was a gifted child with exceptional talent in music. His skills in percussion, drums, and classical piano were complemented by his love for the sounds of West African Djembes and Chopin's compositions.
During his early teenage years, he developed a fascination with a different genre of music, and the idea of performing as an electronic music DJ captivated him. Despite the difficulty of finding electronic music on Italian radio in the nineties, he became consumed by it.
By chance, he encountered Marco Mei, and they shared a mutual understanding of the electronic arts, leading to the creation of Bicycle Corporation. Together, they have turned their vision of electronic music into releases on numerous international labels, making it a reality rather than just a dream.
Guest DJ Murphy Kin.
This week's guest DJ is Murphy Kin, who is always eager to explore new things. With roots in the film industry, Murphy Kin finds DJing and music production to be limitless and boundless pursuits.
Experiencing Murphys' music is akin to watching a film; it has its highs and lows, and he doesn't confine his melodies to the 125~128 BPM range. He is certainly not content with a constant 4/4 rhythm and won't transport you to a euphoric state right at the start of his performances.
He prefers to guide you through his beats, starting with slow rhythms, taking you through romantic rock, classic old-school tunes, and flirtatious R&B, rather than diving into Disco, Indie, Rock, and even Dance. His music makes people feel like they are in a movie scene, reaching a climax with beats.
Murphy Kin, naturally upbeat and full of energy, has a diverse appreciation for music and is familiar with a wide range of musical genres. He aims to captivate your emotions through rhythm by transitioning between various styles, including Hip-Hop, Rock, Punk, Indie Rock, and Jazz.
During live performances, DJ Lucy emerges as a musician who operates without rules or scripts. At times, his music is influenced by the moment, the vibe, or the atmosphere, while other times, it's Murphy Kin who directs the audience's state of mind like a film director.
