Marco Mei has published the playlist for his 2021 Podcast 17 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station, DJ agency, music-news platform and events promoter covering electronic music across Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and beyond.
Marco Mei is an Italian DJ and producer who has been active for over thirty years, with a background in afrobeat and early synthesised music that set the tone for a career spanning clubs and festivals across the globe. He took his first steps behind the decks in Italy in the early 1990s, and the breadth of those early influences has kept his sound from settling into a predictable pattern.
The Pacha Club residency in Sharm-El-Sheikh was a career-defining step, unlocking a touring circuit that brought him to Woo Bar, Fuse in Brussels, Room 18 in Taipei, Bangaluu in Berlin, G-Star in Pattaya, SOS Supper Club in Bali and NLO in Minsk. He has appeared alongside Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void, and keeps his audience updated on Facebook.
Bicycle Corporation, formed with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, in 2009, gave his studio work a dedicated platform through 17:44 Records. Output across Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox has grown to over fifty tracks and remixes spanning deep house, tech house, French house and techno, with the duo recently making their earliest recordings available on Bandcamp.
Taipei remains his home base, and regular appearances across the region have helped build a network of artists and collaborators throughout South East Asia. He is available for bookings through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency and does a weekly broadcast on our radio station.
Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 17 opens with Paris Brightledge and K'Alexi Shelby's I See Your Face in the Hula Mahone Remix on Clone Club Series, drawing on the Chicago vocalist's classic House Music sensibility. D.C. LaRue's Cathedrals in the Jamie 3:26 Extended Disco Dub Version on Faith follows, reworking the 1976 American Disco classic with a contemporary Ballroom-inflected approach.
Parallells and Abundance's Blooming Flower in the Blondish Remix leads into Daniel Rateuke and Awen's Gold in the Manoo Remix on Kanté, bringing Afro House into the early sequence. Howling's Bind in the Rampa Remix and Timmy Regisford Edit precedes Jan Blomqvist, Alar and Korolova's Time Again on Get Physical Music, which gives the programme a Melodic House and Techno focus.
Absolute.'s Sage Comme Une Image on Skint Records introduces a Dance Music turn before Jodie Harsh's My House in the 10 Years Of Eats Everything Main Street Mix on Warner Records and Rocket Pengwin's Alone in the Funkybeat Remix on Ultra return to club-oriented House. Fred Again.. and The Blessed Madonna's Marea (We've Lost Dancing) on Atlantic Records UK brings the programme's Progressive Trance entry before Kim Anh's Make Me Feel on Good For You Records and Marcel Vogel and Tim Jules featuring Javonntte on Just Because for Lumberjacks In Hell restore the House momentum.
Demuir and Bluey Robinson's Lusting U on Kaoz Theory adds an Electro edge, while Mallin's Off My Mind on Glasgow Underground settles into Deep House. Missy Elliott's Get Ur Freak On in the Yahzi X Zen Edit then places the 2001 hip hop track within a House context, making it one of the podcast's more unexpected programming choices.
Snips and Pauline Taylor's Say It on Classic Music Company keeps the vocal emphasis in place before Chemise's She Can't Love You in the Purple Disco Machine Re-Edit on Colored Vinyl moves towards Nu-Disco. Nicole Moudaber's I Love introduces a firmer Techno pressure, while Franky Rizardo and Joe Goddard's No Judgement in the Kölsch Remix on FFRR returns to Melodic House and Techno.
Dunmore Brothers and Ayaba Poetic's Step Closer on Defected provides another House entry before Johannes Albert's Cowbell Retreat on Fine returns to Nu-Disco and Disco. Jansons and Dope Earth Alien's Medicine on Circus Recordings supplies the late Tech House energy, and Flashmob's Closer on Toolroom closes the programme with House warmth after its movement through Deep House, Soulful House, Electro and club-focused styles.
