Bicycle Corporation announce DJ Sivanesh for Electronic Roots episode 9

Bicycle Corporation introduce guest DJ Sivanesh for episode 9 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 sound draws from house, techno and broader musical influences, placing equal weight on dancefloor energy and melodic depth.

Marco Mei built his reputation through Italy's underground electronic scene in the early 1990s, contributing to events organised by the Urban People collective before a Pacha residency opened an international career across Europe, Asia and beyond.

Stefano Ugliano's background in classical piano, percussion and drums, developed in Turin and shaped by both European compositional traditions and the rhythmic language of West African instruments including the djembe, gave him a strong foundation that fed directly into his work in electronic production. He came to DJing and production through records and underground events as electronic music spread across Europe during the 1990s.

Electronic Roots grew from that shared passion for underground music, presenting selections that move across house, techno and deeper electronic territory with guest artists from across the international scene adding further range to each episode.

Guest DJ Sivanesh.

Sivanesh is a DJ whose residency at CÉ LA VI at Marina Bay Sands became one of Singapore's most recognised club slots, with a weekly presence in the main room built around off-kilter house and groove-driven techno. Shared line-ups during that period included Chaos In The CBD, d'Julz, Dennis Ferrer, Jasper James, Okain, Oliver Dollar and Rampa among others.

His sound draws from early influences including Mood II Swing, giving his selections a foundation in rhythm and soul that sits above genre boundaries. House remains his home base, but his approach is guided by quality rather than category, a philosophy that led to his selection by Cercle to open their debut Asia show featuring The Martinez Brothers in November 2019.

Before the pause in Asian nightlife in 2020, he was a regular presence at The Council, Tanjong Beach Club and Kilo Lounge in Singapore. A well-received set at Wonderfruit Festival in Thailand in 2019 led to regional bookings at W Hotel and Iron Fairies in Kuala Lumpur in early 2020. His SoundCloud documents that body of work.

In 2020,he stepped away from his CÉ LA VI residency to launch Sivilian Affairs with his partner Lilian Hautemulle, a project focused on intimate events with an emphasis on local and regional talent, particularly from underrepresented communities within the electronic music scene.

Bicycle Corporation's Electronic Roots Episode 09 returns DJ Sivanesh for a set that stays close to Deep House and House Music throughout. Noir and Hayze's Around in the Solomun Vox opens with a warm and melodic quality before DJ T.'s City Life in the Maceo Plex Remix introduces a Melodic House and Techno direction. Detroit Swindle and Mayer Hawthorne's 64 Ways delivers a Soulful House warmth before Andrea Di Rocco's The Past Present and Azuni's Brotherhood carry the set into a deeper and more minimal register.

Lazaro Casanova, Oscar G and Futro's Pussy Palace brings a Jackin House energy before djB's Da Capo 09 in the Welovehouse@Zouk Mix returns to a Deep House and Minimal quality. Jovonn's Can't Hold it Back delivers a Classic House moment before Rhythm&Soul's 1998 in the Djebali Remix sustains the House direction.

Apes Go Bananas, Steve Bug and Clé's Kerri On in the James Dexter Remix and Presence's Gotta Be Paid carry the set through Tech House and Classic House territory before DJ W!ld's Last Summer in the Kerri Chandler Remix delivers one of the episode's most authoritative Deep House moments.

DJ Steaw's Way Out sustains the minimal Deep House direction before Alex Ranerro and Mehlor's Sky in the DJOKO Interpretation 2 introduces a Progressive House quality.

SY (DE)'s Running and Josh Baker and Alfie Jack's 5AM Club carry the set through House and Deep House territory before Diego Krause's We Invent the Future pushes into Minimal and Techno ground. Del 5's The Biggest Thing In Detroit in the Dragonbar Mix delivers a Detroit House moment that connects the set to the Motor City's foundational deep house legacy.

Ronan Portela and Ariel Rodz's Marshal Plant in the Jorge Savoretti Remix and Kalk's Äkäsha in the DJ Oyster Re-Edit carry the set towards its close, the latter's Organic House quality providing a warm and earthy contrast to the more minimal selections earlier in the episode. Disclosure's F For U in the Roy Davis Jr. Remix closes the episode with a Soulful House warmth rooted in the Chicago and Detroit underground traditions that Roy Davis Jr. has championed throughout his career.

DJ Sivanesh's selection for Episode 09 is a cohesive and consistently underground piece of programming that draws from Deep House, Classic House and Minimal without losing its sense of groove and direction throughout.
