Bicycle Corporation featured guest DJ HER in episode 1 of Foundations on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform 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 provides an outlet for 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.
DJ Her opens Foundations Episode 1 with Hassan Abou Alam’s “Unkindled,” a bass-heavy electronic cut that sits apart from the predominantly Techno material that follows. Shabaam appears three times in the opening section, alongside Interactive, Tony Tyson and Axel Karakasis, establishing a firm club-focused foundation for the set.
Phase, Objekt in Lex Gorrie’s remix and Bart Skils with Weska take the programme deeper into modern techno, with “Lost On You” providing a clear Peak Time Techno entry. Beatport classifies the Drumcode release specifically as Techno (Peak Time / Driving), while the surrounding selections favour similarly direct percussion and synthesised rhythms.
Hybrasil, Marcal and Linkan Ray occupy the middle section before Lex Gorrie appears with “Dodged Bullet” and “Vanished.” Jay Lumen follows with “Hymn,” another confirmed peak-time techno selection released through Octopus Recordings.
Lex Gorrie returns with “Simple Measures” before Patrice Bäumel’s “Sorcery” adds another peak-time techno track through its Kompakt Extra release. Phara then moves the set towards Deep Techno with Setaoc Mass’ remix of “Great Attractor,” officially classified as raw, deep and hypnotic techno.
Stef Mendesidis reinforces that raw techno section with “Gendarme Classe A,” a Klockworks release also classified as raw, deep and hypnotic techno. Victor Calderone’s “Condensed” returns to peak-time techno before Alex Mine closes Foundations Episode 1 with “Exist,” completing a DJ Her set weighted strongly towards techno and its deeper and peak-time forms.
