Bicycle Corporation introduce guest DJ HER for episode 1 of Foundations on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an English-language electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet, connecting artists and audiences across Asia and internationally.


Bicycle Corporation is the Italian duo formed by Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Since forming in 2009, they have built a catalogue of more than fifty releases and remixes spanning Deep House, Tech House, French House and Techno.


Marco Mei began his career in the early 1990s through events organised with the Urban People collective across Italy. That period shaped his identity as a selector before a residency at Pacha in Sharm El Sheikh opened the door to bookings across Europe, Asia and beyond.


Stefano Ugliano grew up in Turin with a formal musical education covering classical piano, percussion and drums. His influences include composers such as Chopin and the rhythmic traditions of West African percussion, which later fed into his move towards DJing and electronic production.


Their productions have appeared on labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox, with support from DJs across the international circuit. Foundations presents their wider electronic music interests, with guest artists adding further range to the programme.

Guest DJ 叫小鶴 HER.


DJ HER, real name Chen Her, is a Taipei-based DJ, producer and co-director of Taiwanese electronic music label Our Muzik Records. She began DJing in 2016 after being introduced to House music, later moving deeper into Taiwan’s underground Techno scene from 2019.


Her sound moves between House and Techno, with psychedelic melodic elements, darker textures and bright tonal detail. Vocal touches and subtle oriental influences also appear in her productions, giving her work a personal character across both studio releases and DJ sets.


Her performances have taken her to major electronic music events across Taiwan, where she has built a regular presence within the underground circuit. Outside music, her background as a tattoo artist adds another creative layer to her wider artistic identity.


Recent releases show the range of her studio work, with My Dark Tears released through Our Muzik Records in 2021. Nothing Is 4Ever and Golden Buddha Eyes later appeared on Invert, while Lucifer’s Love and Daddy’s Little Monster were released through Neu Gravity.


Her guest appearance on Foundations introduces a Taiwanese perspective shaped by House, Techno and the local underground scene. Updates, mixes and release information can be found through her website, SoundCloud and Beatport catalogue.


Bicycle Corporation Foundations episode 1 introduces DJ Her with a set centred on Techno pressure and underground club structure. Hassan Abou Alam’s Unkindled opens with a House Music-rooted electronic entry point before Shabaam’s Planet 05 pulls the mix into a rawer line.


Interactive’s No Control and Tony Tyson’s Circuit keep the early section stripped and functional, setting up the harder edge of Axel Karakasis’ Under Trip in the Goncalo M remix. That remix introduces Hard Techno before Shabaam returns with Thoope and Whispering.


Flaccid Tantrums’ Wild Miracle and Phase’s Kelper149c keep the mix in Raw / Deep / Hypnotic Techno before Objekt’s Shard receives a Lex Gorrie remix. Bart Skils and Weska’s Lost On You then add a clearer Peak Time Techno section, using the Drumcode framework to sharpen the middle of the episode.


Unicure’s Breaking Glasses returns the set to deeper textures before Daniel Kazuo’s Nonstop introduces a brief Tech House shift. The unknown Holding Call fits the surrounding Techno structure, leading into Hybrasil’s Interstellar Object and Marcal’s Zero Point.


Marcal’s track carries the raw and hypnotic character linked to his release context, with mechanical movement and low-end weight forming the centre of the section. Linkan Ray’s Dissonant Shapes follows with a tense and percussive structure before Lex Gorrie’s Dodged Bullet starts a more forceful late-run sequence.


Lex Gorrie’s Vanished, Jay Lumen’s Hymn and Lex Gorrie’s Simple Measures keep the set locked into Peak Time Techno. Patrice Bäumel’s Sorcery adds a more melodic and atmospheric edge while keeping the pressure high.


Phara’s Great Attractor in the Setaoc Mass remix moves back into raw and spaced-out Techno, matching the Soma release context around fast and energetic production. Stef Mendesidis’ Gendarme Classe A follows with a lean Klockworks sound before Victor Calderone’s Condensed and Alex Mine’s Exist close the first Foundations episode with a direct peak-time finish.
