For their Foundations 85 show, Bicycle Corporation is pleased to reveal that guest DJ Bean There will perform a new radio show. Scientific Sound Asia, which operates as both an Asian electronic music station and a DJ agency, caters to audiences in both the local region and on a global scale.
Italian production collaboration, Bicycle Corporation, comprises DJ and Producer Marco MEI, alongside Stefano Ugliano, also recognized as 6884. Back in the early nineties, Marco embarked on his career as a disc jockey and producer.
Following his short introduction, he began organising his unique house music and techno events under the alias 'Urban People' throughout his native land. Demonstrating remarkable achievement, he transferred to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt after a decade in the Italian music circuit to commence a residency with the internationally esteemed event series Pacha.
His DJ sets and productions garnered attention, leading to international bookings. He has shared the decks with globally renowned artists such as David Morales, Justin Berkman, Roger Sanchez, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Romero, Ralph Falcon, and numerous others.
Stefano, hailing from Torino, Italy, exhibited promising musical talent from a young age. His passion for the musical arts quickly became a central focus in his life, occupying much of his spare time. He delved into classical piano, percussion, and drums, while also harbouring a deep appreciation for the works of Chopin and the rhythms of West African Djembe.
Despite Stefano's diverse musical interests, one passion stood out above all others: the art of DJing. As a teenager, he found himself drawn to the allure of the person behind the turntables. The beats and rhythms spun by DJs held a unique appeal for him, especially considering their scarcity on Italian radio stations during that era.
For many, the idea of creating and performing music before large audiences might seem like an unattainable dream. However, Stefano refused to be discouraged. With a clear vision in mind, he partnered with Marco and embarked on a journey fuelled by hard work, dedication, and unwavering determination. Through their collective efforts, Bicycle Corporation was born, bringing Stefano's dream to fruition.
Despite their success, Marco and Stefano remain grounded in their humble origins. Recently, they have revisited some of their earlier tracks, reflecting on the journey that led them to where they are today. To honour their roots and share their musical evolution, they have established a Bandcamp page to distribute these earlier works.
