Bicycle Corporation has released the playlist of music for their next 'Roots' show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio is the English language Asian electronic music, event management company, and DJ agency station for Sri Lanka, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, India, South Korea and the rest of Asia.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo of the DJ and producer, Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, better known as 6884. They have over 50 releases across genres from Deep House, Tech House, and French House to Techno.
Starting his career in the early nineties, Marco worked as a crew member for house music and techno events such as ‘Urban People.’ Over time, he established himself in the music industry and became a sought-after figure throughout Italy. His success didn't end there, as he soon began receiving bookings for international events around the world.
Stefano, born in Torino, Italy, displayed early potential as a musician. His passion for the musical arts grew from a young age, occupying much of his free time. He delved into classical piano, percussion, and drums, and developed a deep admiration for Chopin and West African Djembe.
But with all his devotion to so many different kinds of music, there was one thing Stefano had a love for that was like none other, The man spinning the wheels, yes, The DJ became most enticing for the teenaged Stefano. Those beats were so seldom played on any Italian radio station in the nineties.
Making those sounds let alone playing them before masses of people would seem like a pipe dream to most. But Stefano would not be deterred, he had a vision which he would now see through to the end and with hard work, dedication and sheer tenacity, Bicycle Corporation came to be.
Despite their success today, Marco and Stefan have not forgotten their humble beginnings. Just recently they’ve been going back over some of their earlier tracks and even set up a Bandcamp page to distribute them.
The track list for the next show is laid out below and represents the 'Roots' of their sound and the genres they have drawn influence from in their electronic releases. These genres include Funk, Disco, Soul, Afrobeat, Electro, Rare Groove, Hip Hop, and Afrocentric. Bicycle Corporation are available for booking via our DJ agency for Asia.
