Bicycle Corporation has released the playlist for the next 'Roots' show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio is the English language station, DJ agency, and event management company for Sri Lanka, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, India, South Korea and the rest of Asia with a global outreach.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo of DJ and producer, Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, better known as 6884. In their years of releasing music, the pair have produced well over 50 tracks including French House, Deep House, Tech House and Techno.
Marco began his career in the early nineties by working as a crew for events like ‘Urban People.’ With time he gained recognition on the music scene and steadily became a man in demand all across Italy. But then things didn’t stop there, after so much success in his native land Marco was soon getting international bookings across the globe.
Stefano, hailing from Torino, Italy, demonstrated potential as an emerging musician from a young age. He developed a strong passion for music, which quickly consumed much of his free time. He learned classical piano, percussion, and drums, and held a deep admiration for Chopin's compositions and the sound of the West African Djembe.
Despite his passion for various types of music, there was one thing that stood out for Stefano: the DJ. The man spinning the wheels captivated the teenage Stefano like nothing else. Those beats were rarely heard on any Italian radio station at that time.
Creating those sounds, and especially performing them in front of large audiences, might appear as an unattainable dream to many. However, Stefano was not discouraged; he had a vision he was determined to fulfil. After meeting Marco and with relentless effort, dedication, and sheer tenacity, Bicycle Corporation was established.
Even with all 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. Bicycle Corporation are available for booking via our DJ Agency for Asia.
