Bicycle Corporation has revealed that guest DJ Jasmine Li will be featured on their 'Foundations' episode 91. Scientific Sound Asia is recognised as a prominent Asian electronic dance music genre station, promoter, and DJ agency, reaching audiences in Asia and internationally.


Bicycle Corporation comprises the Italian duo of DJ and producer Marco Mei alongside the talented Stefano Ugliano, known by the moniker 6884. Together, they have amassed a repertoire of over 50 tracks and remixes spanning various genres, including Deep House, Tech House, French House, Melodic, and Techno.


In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical journey as a DJ and producer, initially performing at events in his hometown. Over time, he transitioned to organizing his own House Music and Techno events alongside his cohorts, collectively known as 'Urban People,' which gained popularity across Italy.


After achieving success in his home country, he landed a residency at the prestigious nightclub franchise Pacha. He then relocated to Africa to start his residency in South Sinai, Egypt, more precisely in Sharm el Sheikh. His residency and his reputation for energizing the nightlife scene resulted in international DJ bookings and launched him into a global musical adventure.

Hailing from Torino, Italy, Stefano exhibited a natural affinity for music from a young age. Immersed in a rich musical environment, he passionately pursued classical piano, percussion, and drums during his formative years, nurturing his love for composers like Chopin and instruments such as the West African Djembe.


Yet, the attraction of the disc jockey commanding the crowd captivated the teenage Stefano more and more. He pondered whether the electronic beats, scarcely heard on '90s Italian radio stations, could pave the way for an entirely new chapter in his life. Then he and Marco's wires crossed and Bicycle Corporation emerged from their interaction.


Despite achieving global recognition, Marco and Stefano remain connected to their roots as teenagers discovering electronic music. Recently, they have revisited some of their earlier tracks, reflecting on their musical journey. Additionally, they established a Bandcamp page to distribute these tracks, allowing fans to delve into their musical evolution.


Featuring some of the top electronic music artists from Asia, the Foundations show presents a mix of genres such as House, Techno, Afro House, Organic House, Tech House, Melodic House, Arabica House, Melodic Techno, and more. Marco and Stefano use their show to highlight the rich talent and dynamic energy coming from the Asian electronic music scene.

This week's guest DJ on the show is Jasmine Li. Jasmine Li, a native of Guangzhou and currently based in Valencia, Spain, is not only a DJ but also a producer and acoustic musician. With over 20 years of experience, she has been a prominent figure in the House Music scene in China, spending 15 years of her career in Shanghai.


Jasmine Li's journey began in the realm of professional Chinese classical and operatic music, establishing strong roots in the performing arts. Her national status in this domain provided her with a significant advantage as she transitioned into the realm of electronic music, where her diverse musical background and expertise shaped her unique approach to producing Techno and house music songs.


Building upon her newfound passion, Jasmine assumed the role of co-founder and charismatic proprietress of Shanghai's renowned after-hours underground club, Celia. Infamous for its pulsating beats of deep house and dark techno, and attracting the kings and queens of Shanghai, Celia became a cornerstone of China's electronic music scene under Jasmine's guidance and curation.


Combining her ventures with two earlier club businesses, Shiva Lounge and Downtown, Jasmine Li has undeniably made an indelible mark on Shanghai's music landscape. Routinely touring across Asia and Europe, Jasmine has graced iconic events such as Elrow, Amsterdam Dance Event, A Summer Story, and Great Wall Festival, among many others, leaving an unforgettable imprint on the global electronic music scene.


When Jasmine isn't behind the decks DJ'ing or captivating audiences with her live performances, she can often be found in her subterranean Shanghai studio, immersed in music production under her Silverlining project. Her creative process seamlessly blends traditional Chinese sounds from instruments like the Pipa and Guzhen into the realm of electronic music, showcasing her innovative approach and deep-rooted musical heritage.


With an impressive career that has flourished over almost two decades, she has shared the stage with some of the most iconic names in the industry. Collaborating with renowned international DJs such as Sasha, Darren Emerson, Deadmau5, Mark Knight, Armin Van Buuren, and Adana Twins, Jasmine has not only showcased her remarkable skills but has also contributed to shaping the electronic music scene.


This month, her show features a captivating blend of Afro House, Melodic House, and Organic House, showcasing her diverse musical influences and innovative approach to electronic music.
