Bicycle Corporation has unveiled the playlist for episode 192 of their acclaimed Roots show. Meanwhile, Scientific Sound Asia continues to be a premier electronic music station and DJ agency, committed to catering to audiences throughout Asia and beyond.
Bicycle Corporation, comprising the dynamic Italian DJ and producer duo Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, also recognized as 6884, has a long-standing presence in the music industry. They have an impressive discography of over 50 tracks that traverse genres like French House, Deep House, Tech House, and Techno.
Marco started his career in the early 1990s by organizing House and Techno music events with a group called 'Urban People.' Over time, his influence on the music scene expanded, establishing him as a notable and in-demand figure across Italy.
Marco's fame has expanded far beyond his homeland, as demonstrated by his international engagements. These bookings globally signified a considerable extension of his career, moving him beyond the confines of Italy.
Originating from Turin, Italy, Stefano demonstrated a natural talent for music from a young age. He nurtured an intense passion for the musical arts, dedicating his leisure time to its pursuit. His educational journey encompassed the study of classical piano, percussion, and drums, developing a special appreciation for Chopin's works and the rhythmic patterns of the West African Djembe.
In his journey through diverse musical genres, Stefano found a unique passion that captured his heart: DJing. As a teenager, he was deeply drawn to the skill with which DJs manipulated turntables. The beats he encountered were rarely featured on Italian radio stations at the time, which only added to the allure of DJing as an art form.
For many, the idea of creating and presenting music to large audiences may appear as a distant dream. However, Stefano confronted these challenges directly. Through relentless hard work, unwavering dedication, and intense determination, Stefano and Marco propelled Bicycle Corporation into the electronic music sphere, carving out their unique position in the industry.
Even after gaining international recognition, Marco and Stefano have remained faithful to their roots as teenagers who experimented with electronic music. They have revisited some of their early tracks recently, reflecting on their musical evolution. Moreover, they have created a Bandcamp page to showcase these tracks, which illustrates their development and unwavering commitment to their musical beginnings.
The weekly radio show "Roots" celebrates a diverse mix of music, showcasing Funk, Disco, Afrobeat, Rare Groove, Soul, and Brazilian genres. Hosts Marco and Stefano, with their special emphasis on artists who integrate Afrocentric musical styles, have established a vibrant platform that pays homage to a wide range of musical legacies. Their consistent weekly broadcasts reflect their commitment to highlighting the rich tapestry of sounds rooted in Afrocentric musical traditions.
This episode is a nostalgic voyage through the pioneering sounds of early Electronica, where genres like Proto-Techno, Synthpop, Krautrock, and Ambient began shaping the electronic music sound. Each track represents a pivotal moment in music history, showcasing the innovative artistry of legendary musicians and their timeless influence.
From the experimental atmospheres of Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler to the melodic Synthpop of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Japan, this playlist captures the spirit of a transformative era. Whether you're a longtime fan of vintage electronic sounds or a newcomer exploring its roots, this episode is a must-listen for anyone intrigued by the foundations of modern electronic music.
