Bicycle Corporation has announced its playlist for their 'Roots' episode 173. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music DJ agency, promoter, and radio station serving the region and globally.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo of the DJ and Producer Marco MEI plus the talented Stefano Ugliano with the moniker 6884. Currently, the Italian duo have released over 50 tracks and remixes across many genres including Deep House, Tech House, French House, Melodic and Techno.
In the early nineties, Marco was starting on his musical journey as a DJ and producer at events at home. After a while, he began doing his own events with his cohorts known as 'Urban People' across the whole of Italy.
This earned him a good name as a disc jockey and he gained a residency at the global club brand Pacha, in Daar es Salaam, Egypt. His residency and his reputation to get the party moving gained him DJ bookings internationally and launched him on a musical mission globally.
Raised in Torino, Italy, Stefano exhibited a wide range of musical talents during his childhood. He passionately studied classical piano, percussion, and drums, and he cherished both Chopin's compositions and the tribal sounds of the West African Djembe.
However, that figure of the disc jockey rearing the crowd proved more and more enchanting for the teenage Stefano. He wondered if those very electronic beats, so hard to find on ‘90s Italian radio stations, would open an entirely new chapter in his life, and then Bicycle Corporation evolved.
Despite their global recognition, Marco and Stefan have not forgotten their roots as teenagers new to electronic music. Just recently they’ve been going back over some of their earlier tracks and even set up a Bandcamp page to distribute them.
This episode of Roots showcases an eclectic blend of Afrobeat, Brazilian Jazz, and Funk, drawing listeners into a rhythmically rich and melodically diverse journey. The inclusion of vibrant percussion, soulful melodies, and experimental influences creates a seamless connection between classic grooves and contemporary edits.
From the Afrobeat-inspired energy of Guem’s Riacho to the jazzy elegance of Airto Moreira’s Andei, and the disco-fueled anthems of Kool and The Gang’s Open Sesame, this playlist offers a sonic adventure through global sounds. Whether you're drawn to the timeless charm of Brazilian rhythms, the powerful grooves of Funk, or the electrifying pulse of Disco, this episode delivers a vibrant, genre-spanning experience.
Listen live on Sunday 9th of July 2023 from 6 PM to 8 PM Indochina Time (ICT) and repeat Thursday from 6 AM to 8 AM (ICT).
