Bicycle Corporation has announced the lineup for episode 199 of their famous Roots show. Scientific Sound Asia remains a leading electronic music station, event organiser, and DJ agency dedicated to engaging audiences in Asia and beyond.
For over a decade, Bicycle Corporation made up of Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano (also known as 6884), has played a prominent role in the music industry. Their extensive music catalogue spans multiple genres such as French House, Deep House, Tech House, and Techno, showcasing their versatility and proficiency in electronic music.
Beginning in the early 1990s with 'Urban People,' Marco started organising House and Techno events. His influence grew consistently, establishing him as a key figure in Italy's music scene. With international bookings, his fame has reached a global audience.
Hailing from Turin, Italy, Stefano exhibited a keen interest in music from a young age. His passion led him to explore classical piano, percussion, and drums, with a particular emphasis on Chopin and the West African Djembe. His fascination with DJing developed as he appreciated the skill of turntable manipulation, deepening his dedication to the craft.
Stefano and Marco have consistently surmounted the challenges of performing before large audiences, carving out a niche for themselves in the electronic music scene. Their recent reflection on their initial tracks and the introduction of a Bandcamp page highlight their commitment to musical growth.
Presented by Marco and Stefano, the "Roots" weekly radio show features a diverse array of music styles including Funk, Disco, Afrobeat, Rare Groove, Soul, and Brazilian music. Roots Episode 199 by Bicycle Corporation is a vibrant journey through the rhythms of Afrobeat, Disco, and Funk, blending soulful grooves with energetic beats.
The episode opens with the Afro-Jazz vibes of Ezra Collective’s "God Gave Me Feet For Dancing" and flows seamlessly into Nina Hagen’s "African Reggae" (F.T.G & Sourires Edit), bringing a touch of Afro-House energy. Disco takes centre stage with tracks like Sun Rhythms’ "Baby Snake" and Ozone’s "Keep On Dancing," while funk-infused beats shine in Moplen’s "Ain’t No Doubt About It" and Rose Royce’s "Keep Your Body Movin’" featuring Alexny.
Afrobeat enthusiasts will love the Fela Kuti edit, "Shimmy Sham Sham 01!" and the Afro House flair of Masters At Work’s "Ekabo." The set continues with standout reworks like Chic’s "Funny Bones" (Delfonic Rework) and the disco-soul classic Toto’s "Georgy Porgy" (The Reflex Revision), adding nostalgic yet fresh energy.
The show concludes with the powerful disco-soul anthem Loleatta Holloway’s "Love Sensation" (DJ Sensus Mix), leaving listeners uplifted and inspired. Whether you’re a fan of retro grooves or modern edits, this episode offers something for everyone. Roots Episode 199 celebrates the timeless allure of Disco, Funk, and Afrobeat, making it a must-listen for music enthusiasts.
