Bicycle Corporation announce DJ Sivanesh for Electronic Roots episode 2

Bicycle Corporation introduce guest DJ Sivanesh for episode 2 of Electronic Roots on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter publishing music news and connecting artists and audiences across the region and internationally.

Bicycle Corporation is the Italian duo formed by Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884. Their collaboration combines backgrounds in house and techno, drawing from both club culture and broader musical influences to create a sound that balances dancefloor energy with melodic depth.

Marco Mei came up through Italy's underground electronic scene in the early 1990s, organising events with the Urban People collective and building a reputation as a selector across the country. That work led to a residency at Pacha, which opened an international touring career and brought him to stages across Europe, Asia and beyond.

Stefano Ugliano grew up in Turin with formal training in classical piano, percussion and drums, developing a grounding in rhythm and composition that drew from both classical composers and the percussive traditions of West African instruments such as the djembe. As electronic music spread across Europe in the 1990s he discovered it through records and underground events, a process that drew him steadily towards DJing and production.

When the two joined forces, Bicycle Corporation emerged from a shared musical history and a mutual passion for the underground. Electronic Roots continues that exploration, presenting curated selections that reflect their broad range of influences across house, techno and deeper electronic styles.

Guest DJ Sivanesh.

Sivanesh is a DJ based in Singapore whose residency at CÉ LA VI at Marina Bay Sands established him as one of the city's more distinctive voices in house and techno. His sets in the main room drew from off-centre house grooves and driving techno, sharing line-ups with artists including Chaos In The CBD, d'Julz, Dennis Ferrer, Jasper James, Okain, Oliver Dollar and Rampa.

His early influences centred on American producers Mood II Swing, giving his sound a rhythmic and soulful foundation that has always sat above strict genre boundaries. House music remains at the core of his identity, but his approach to selection is guided by quality and musical depth rather than category.

That sensibility led to his selection by Cercle to warm up for their debut Asia event featuring The Martinez Brothers in November 2019. Before the pause in Asian nightlife in 2020 he was a regular presence at venues including The Council, Tanjong Beach Club and Kilo Lounge in Singapore, with a Wonderfruit Festival appearance in Thailand and bookings at W Hotel and Iron Fairies in Kuala Lumpur further extending his regional reach.

In 2020 he stepped away from his CÉ LA VI residency to launch Sivilian Affairs alongside his partner Lilian Hautemulle. The project focuses on intimate events that champion local and regional talent, with particular attention given to underrepresented artists within the electronic music community.

His work continues to be guided by musical integrity and connection, maintaining a balance between groove, depth and unpredictability. Further sessions can be found on his SoundCloud.

Bicycle Corporation's Electronic Roots Episode 02 hands the controls to DJ Sivanesh for a set rooted firmly in Deep House and underground House Music. DJ Boring's Winona on E-Beamz opens proceedings, the Australian-born London-based producer's track having achieved viral success in 2016 and becoming one of the defining lo-fi House selections of its era.

Peter O's Way In on Egoplanet follows before Jamie Woon's Night Air in the Solomun Re-Edit develops a deeper and more melodic quality. Huerta and Urulu's Swing Set on Amadeus and Point G's Have You in the DJ Steaw Remix carry the set through Deep House and House territory before Rocco Rodamaal's Break 4 Love in the Franck Roger Remix on Memories delivers a warm Soulful House moment.

Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You in the Bob Sinclar Remix then introduces a Nu Disco quality, the 1998 Daft Punk-adjacent classic given a contemporary reframing that connects the episode's underground deep house character to a broader dance music lineage. Borrowed Identity's Faith on Foul and Sunk and Sweely's Around on Lobster Theremin carry the set into a rawer and more minimal direction before Cuthead's Fuck That Shit on Local Talk sustains the underground House energy.

Harrison BDP's Convection Zone on Enclave Records briefly shifts the register towards Techno and Minimal territory before Ferro's Isoro on Oscillat Music returns to a deeper House character. Baaz's Beleaf Davis and Iron Curtis's Entago Entery, both on Office Recordings, then form a natural Minimal Deep House pairing, Discogs describing Baaz's track as evoking the "golden age of minimal vibes."

Rio Padice's Raverstation on Bass Culture and Jovonn's Moon Groove on Body'N Deep deliver two Classic House moments before Kareem Cali and LaRosa's UZI in the Rhadow Remix on AVOTRE introduces a Tech House energy. FCL's Let's Go on We Play House and Paolo Rocco's Space Music on FUSE London carry the set forward before Djoko's Ventura on Shall Not Fade and James Dexter's Desire on Inermu return to the deep and atmospheric direction.

Dana Ruh's Education on Underground Quality provides one of the episode's most considered selections, Theo Parrish's label providing a guaranteed stamp of Deep House and Soulful House quality. Blaze's Gloria Muse on West End Records closes the episode with Gospel House warmth, the New Jersey group's connection to the spiritual tradition of American House music giving Electronic Roots Episode 02 a fittingly soulful conclusion.

DJ Sivanesh's selection is a coherent and well-paced journey through Deep House, Soulful House and underground club culture that establishes Electronic Roots as a show with genuine curatorial depth from its earliest episodes.
