Bicycle Corporation has released its playlist for its final 'Roots' show of the year. Scientific Sound Asia is the English language electronic music station for Malaysia, China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea and the rest of Asia.
Bicycle Corporation is an electronic duo of the Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei plus the skilled Stefano Ugliano aka 6884. Together, they have put out more than 50 tracks and remixes spanning from French House to Techno.
Back in the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical career as a DJ. He initiated his own House Music and Techno events under the name 'Urban People' across Italy.
As a result of this, he gained recognition and secured a residency at Pacha, Egypt, which led to international DJ bookings and kickstarted his musical journey around the world.
Stefano, who grew up in Torino, Italy, showed remarkable musical talents from a young age. He devoted himself to studying classical piano, percussion, and drums with great passion, particularly enjoying the works of Chopin and West African Djembes.
Nevertheless, the image of 'the guy spinning records' became increasingly fascinating to teenage Stefano. Little did he know that those electronic beats, which were difficult to find on Italian radio stations in the '90s, would lead to a completely new chapter in his life.
The track list for the next show is laid out below and represents the 'Roots' of their sound and the genres they have drawn influence from in their electronic releases. These genres include Funk, Disco, Soul, Afrobeat, Electro, Rare Groove, Hip Hop, and Afrocentric. Bicycle Corporation are available for booking via our DJ agency for Asia.
Bicycle Corporation’s final Roots episode of 2019, dated December 29, delivers a celebratory mix of Afrobeat, Disco, Jazz Fusion, Funk, and Brazilian Jazz. Highlights include Afrobeat classics like Carlos Santana’s "Banbeye" and Candido’s "Jingo (Remix Feat. Afla Sackey)," alongside Disco-fueled tracks such as T-Connection’s "Do What You Wanna Do (Moplen Remix)" and The Fatback Band’s "Are You Ready Do The Bus Stop (Joey Negro Mix)."
Brazilian rhythms shine in Dom Um Romão’s "Amor En Jacuma" and Astrud Gilberto’s "Brasilera Doc," while Jazz Funk grooves come alive with Tom Browne’s "Fungi Mama." This episode wraps up the year with vibrant global sounds and dancefloor-ready reworks.
