Bicycle Corporation has released its playlist for its next 'Roots' show. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music station, DJ agency, and promoter 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. As a duo, they have released well over 50 tracks and remixes from French House to Techno.
In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical journey as a DJ. He began organizing Techno and House Music events under the name 'Urban People' across Italy.
As a result, he received recognition and later secured a residency at the prestigious international venue Pacha, Egypt. This led to him gaining recognition as a DJ worldwide and embarking on a musical journey across the globe.
Stefano, who grew up in Torino, Italy, showed remarkable musical talents from a young age. He enthusiastically delved into classical piano, percussion, and drums, and had a deep appreciation for Chopin's compositions and the melodic rhythms of 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 ‘90s Italian radio stations, 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.
