Bicycle Corporation has revealed that DJ Jasmine Li will be featured as the special guest on episode 96 of their 'Foundations' show. Scientific Sound Asia is recognized as a prominent DJ agency, event organizer, and electronic music station in Asia, catering to a global audience.
Bicycle Corporation is made up of the Italian duo consisting of DJ and producer Marco Mei and the skilled Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. They have collectively built a diverse catalogue of more than 50 tracks and remixes across genres such as Deep House, Tech House, French House, Melodic, and Techno.
In the early 1990s, Marco began his musical career as a DJ and producer, performing at local events. Gradually, he shifted to organizing his own House and Techno music events with his group, 'Urban People,' which became well-known throughout Italy.
After achieving success in his home country, he obtained a residency at the well-known nightclub franchise Pacha. He then relocated to Africa to start his residency in South Sinai, Egypt, particularly in Sharm el Sheikh. His residency and his reputation for energizing the party atmosphere resulted in international DJ bookings and launched him into a global musical adventure.
Originating from Turin, Italy, Stefano showed an innate talent for music early on. Surrounded by a vibrant musical culture, he devotedly studied classical piano, percussion, and drums throughout his youth, cultivating his admiration for composers such as Chopin and instruments like the West African Djembe.
The allure of the disc jockey, who held sway over the crowd, increasingly fascinated the young Stefano. He contemplated if the electronic beats rarely played on Italian radio stations in the '90s, might herald a new chapter in his life. It was then that Stefano and Marco's paths intertwined, leading to the birth of Bicycle Corporation from their collaboration.
Even with their global fame, Marco and Stefano stay true to their origins as teenagers who were exploring electronic music. They have recently revisited their earlier works, contemplating their musical progression. They also created a Bandcamp page to share these tracks, offering fans a glimpse into their evolution as artists.
Their Foundations show showcases some of the largest electronic music artists from Asia, performing a range of genres, including House, Techno, Afro House, Organic House, Tech House, Melodic House, Arabica House, Melodic Techno, and more.
Guest DJ Jasmine Li.
This week, the guest DJ on our show is Jasmine Li. Hailing from Guangzhou and now residing in Valencia, Spain, Jasmine is a multifaceted talent who is not just a DJ but also a producer and acoustic musician. Boasting over two decades of experience, she has made her mark as a significant presence in China's House Music scene, with a 15-year stint in Shanghai.
Jasmine Li's career started in the sphere of professional Chinese classical and operatic music, where she established a solid foundation in the performing arts. Her prominence in this field gave her a considerable edge as she ventured into electronic music, where her varied musical heritage and proficiency informed her distinctive style in producing her techno and house music songs.
Fueled by her newfound passion, Jasmine stepped into the role of co-founder and dynamic hostess of Shanghai's celebrated nocturnal underground club, Celia. Known for its throbbing rhythms of deep house and dark techno, Celia rose to prominence as a pillar of China's electronic music scene, attracting the upper-class kings and queens of Shanghai, steered by Jasmine's leadership and artistic direction.
Merging her ventures with the earlier establishments Shiva Lounge and Downtown, Jasmine Li has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on Shanghai's music scene. Regularly touring throughout Asia and Europe, Jasmine has performed at renowned events like Elrow, Amsterdam Dance Event, A Summer Story, and the Great Wall Festival, among others, creating a memorable legacy in the worldwide electronic music community.
When Jasmine is not spinning records as a DJ or enchanting audiences with her live shows, she's usually deep in her underground Shanghai studio, working on her music production for the Silverlining project. Her creative process involves a harmonious fusion of traditional Chinese instruments such as the Pipa and Guzheng with electronic music, reflecting her pioneering spirit and rich musical ancestry.
Jasmine Li's distinguished career encompasses almost two decades of worldwide performances with celebrated international DJs such as Sasha, Darren Emerson, Deadmau5, Mark Knight, Armin Van Buuren, and Adana Twins, among others. This month, her performance presents an enthralling mix of Organic House, Arabica, Afro House, and Melodic House, highlighting her varied musical inspirations and her pioneering spirit in electronic music.
