Terence C, a guest DJ from Bicycle Corporation, will be presenting his upcoming show, Electronic Roots, on Scientific Sound Asia. As Asia’s leading electronic dance music station, promoter, and DJ agency, Scientific Sound Asia reaches both local and global audiences.
Bicycle Corporation is a collaboration between Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei and talented producer Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Together, they have produced and remixed over 50 original tracks in House and Techno, making a lasting impact on the electronic music scene.
Marco began his journey as a DJ in the early 90s, inspired by the rise of Electronic music and Afro-centric rhythms. Once in the industry, he founded Urban People, hosting House and Techno events across Italy. From there, Marco deepened his exploration of sound and event planning, eventually earning a residency at Pacha in Egypt.
This significant role boosted his reputation, unlocking international DJ opportunities that launched him into a global career. His experiences at Pacha sparked his ambition to share his talents with audiences worldwide.
Stefano, originally from Torino, Italy, showed exceptional musical promise early on. Guided by his parents into music, he devoted himself to classical piano, percussion, and drums, inspired by a range of music from Chopin to West African rhythms. This broad background has shaped his influence on electronic music.
Stefano’s early exposure to diverse genres helped him develop a deep musical foundation. His fascination with electronic music began during the 90s when it was rarely broadcast on Italian radio, yet its rhythms and melodies captivated him.
Despite their success, Marco and Stefano remain grounded. They have revisited some of their early works, showcasing their dedication to their musical origins. Recently, they created a Bandcamp page to share their works, underscoring their commitment to preserving their artistic heritage.
Electronic Roots, hosted by Marco and Stefano, is a radio show centred on House and Techno, offering a platform to feature distinguished artists from across Asia. This initiative celebrates the diversity within the Asian electronic music community and fosters international connections and collaborations.
Guest DJ Terence C.
Terence C, a renowned Malaysian DJ and producer, takes the spotlight on this week's show. Currently based in Shanghai, China, Terence has built a celebrated career spanning over 20 years.
Throughout his journey, Terence held residencies at top clubs in Kuala Lumpur, establishing himself as a pivotal figure in Malaysia's House and Techno scenes. His ongoing contributions have garnered him widespread recognition in the electronic music community.
Terence has opened for legendary artists like David Morales, Fatboy Slim, and Pete Tong, setting the stage for thrilling performances. His exceptional DJ skills and talent for energising the crowd have made him a favourite for high-profile events, further enhancing his reputation.
One of Terence’s most valued collaborations is with Digweed, who often requests Terence as the opening act whenever he performs in Kuala Lumpur. The two have shared the stage multiple times, marking a significant impact on the renowned Zouk Club brand in Malaysia.
Zouk has gained global fame among electronic music fans, largely due to its dynamic live shows. Terence’s association with Digweed underscores his influence and vital role in Malaysia's lively nightlife scene.
Prior to the pandemic, Terence co-hosted monthly Techno events at Zouk called "We Love Techno" with DJ XU, a prominent Kuala Lumpur figure. The event aimed to introduce audiences to the underground sounds of labels like Drumcode and Cocoon Recordings.
Through his leadership, "We Love Techno" became a prime platform for cutting-edge electronic music and emerging Techno artists. Terence’s expertise, combined with DJ XU’s influence, boosted Kuala Lumpur’s electronic music culture and offered fans a memorable auditory experience.
Terence began his career in 1998 under DJ Chris Doss’s mentorship, quickly earning recognition in Malaysia. Performing frequently at venues like Cubeat and Globar, he steadily rose within the music scene.
His career took a pivotal turn when he was selected as the opening act for David Morales during his debut performance in Malaysia. This breakthrough propelled Terence into the spotlight, solidifying his status in the local electronic scene.
In the early 2000s, Terence gained further acclaim as a resident DJ at Movement Club in Malaysia. He continued to perform at popular venues such as Backroom, Nouvo, and Atmosphere, contributing to Malaysia’s thriving electronic music landscape.
Terence’s impact extends beyond Kuala Lumpur’s nightlife, shaping the broader Southeast Asian music scene. He has performed at renowned venues like Lush in Singapore and Liquid in Ho Chi Minh City. In 2005, Terence co-founded Altered Image, an audio-visual project blending innovative sounds and visuals.
Collaborating with artists Callen Tham and Digital, Terence redefined performance art, creating a multimedia experience that left a lasting impression. Altered Image won the Malaysian segment of the Heineken Thirst competition, leading them to tour Southeast Asia.
Altered Image transformed the electronic scene with cinematic visuals, turntable artistry, and live effects that resonated with dance floors. This success marked a new chapter in Terence’s creative journey, expanding his artistic legacy.
Recently, Terence has embraced the Ableton Live production suite, refining his technical skills to enhance his sound. By integrating software with decks and CDJs, he continues to push the boundaries of live performance.
Terence’s production work is gaining momentum, with several new releases expected in the coming year. Audiences in Southeast Asia can anticipate a deeper engagement with his evolving sound.
Recognised as a top DJ in Malaysia, Terence is quickly gaining prominence across Asia’s electronic music scene. His radio program on our station, highlighting House and Techno, reflects his dedication to exploring cutting-edge sounds.
