Bicycle Corporation has announced their tracklist for its 'Roots' 69 show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio is an underground radio station, DJ agency, and promoter for the Asian Region and Internationally.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian pairing of DJ and producer, Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, better known as 6884. The pair have amassed over 50 releases across genres such as Techno, Deep House, House, Melodic, and French House.
Marco started his career in the early 1990s by working as part of the crew for events such as ‘Urban People.’ Over time, he earned recognition in the music scene and gradually became highly sought after throughout Italy.
However, his success didn't end there; after achieving significant fame in his home country, Marco became a resident at the world-famous nightclub brand Pacha and soon began receiving international bookings worldwide.
Stefano, hailing from Torino, Italy, exhibited potential as an emerging musician from a young age. He developed a strong interest in music, which quickly consumed much of his free time. He studied classical piano, percussion, and drums, and had a deep appreciation for Chopin's compositions and the tribal rhythms of the West African Djembe.
Despite his dedication to various types of music, Stefano had a unique passion for one thing: the DJ. The person behind the turntables fascinated the teenage Stefano. Those beats were rarely heard on any Italian radio station at that time.
For most, creating those sounds, much less performing them in front of large audiences, would seem like an unattainable dream. However, Stefano was not discouraged; he had a vision that he was determined to fulfil. Through his and Marco's hard work, dedication, and sheer tenacity, Bicycle Corporation was born.
Despite their current success, Marco and Stefan still remember their modest origins. Recently, they've been revisiting some of their initial tracks and have even created a Bandcamp page to share them.
Their radio show features a broad spectrum of Afrocentric music including Funk, Afrobeat, Disco, Reggae, Hip Hop, Brazilian, Rare Groove, Latin, Jazz, Reggae, and Soul. Bicycle Corporation is available to book via our Asia DJ agency.
This episode of Bicycle Corporation's Roots highlights an exceptional selection of global and timeless sounds, weaving Afrobeat, Disco, Funk, Synthpop, and Brazilian Jazz into a seamless journey. Each track embodies the essence of musical innovation, whether through pulsating rhythms, soulful melodies, or groundbreaking experimentation.
With its eclectic mix of genres and influences, Episode 69 offers listeners a captivating dive into the cultural and rhythmic roots of music that continue to inspire and move the dancefloors of today. It's an auditory adventure that celebrates diversity and the timeless appeal of groove-driven sounds. This show originally aired on Sunday the 31st of January. Listen to the Mixcloud player below.
