Bicycle Corporation announce DJ Vertigo for 'Electronic Roots' 14.

Bicycle Corporation introduce guest DJ Vertigo for their Electronic Roots show, episode 14. Scientific Sound Asia is the Asian electronic music station, DJ agency and promoter for the region and internationally.

Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo consisting of DJ and producer Marco Mei alongside the skilled Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. In the early nineties, Marco began his musical journey as a DJ and producer, launching his own club nights under the collective name Urban People throughout Italy.

This gained him notoriety and eventually earned him a residency at Pacha in Egypt. This led to international bookings and set him on a musical journey around the globe.

Raised in Torino, Italy, Stefano displayed strong musical ability from an early age. He studied classical piano, percussion and drums with passion, developing a love for both Chopin and West African djembe.

Yet the image of a DJ performing on stage became increasingly captivating for the teenage Stefano. Those electronic beats, so difficult to access on Italian radio in the 1990s, soon became the driving force behind a new chapter in his life and the beginning of Bicycle Corporation.

Guest DJ Vertigo.

This week’s guest on Scientific Sound Asia is DJ Vertigo, a Taiwanese DJ and producer with over three decades of experience in the electronic music industry. He is also one half of the duo Anke alongside Jerry Aseret, and serves as the director of Reboot Taipei, one of the most active and influential event platforms in Taiwan’s capital.

DJ Vertigo is regarded as a central figure in the development of Taiwan’s electronic music culture. Over the past 30 years, he has held residencies at many of the country’s leading nightclubs, including Texound, Kiss, @live, 2F and Luxy. His continued presence at these venues underlines his role as a key indicator and promoter of electronic music throughout Taiwan.

His career extends far beyond the island, with performances across Asia and Europe in cities such as Brussels, Luxembourg, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Sharing stages with top international artists has helped shape his creative direction, contributing to the distinctive style that defines his sets today.

Vertigo’s musical focus centres on House and Techno, supported by deep knowledge, broad musical appreciation and refined turntable skills. He draws from a wide range of genres, including Techno, Deep House, Minimal, Progressive, Electro and Tribal, enabling him to educate the audience with thoughtful selections while maintaining a dynamic, crowd-driven atmosphere.

A notable turning point in his career came in 2009 when he was invited to tour China with Richie Hawtin. This opportunity strengthened his international profile and inspired further collaborations. In his role at Reboot Taipei, Vertigo has since helped bring globally recognised artists such as Sasha, Dubfire, Richie Hawtin, Ken Ishii, Technasia, Carlo Lio, Marco Bailey, Q’Hey and A Mochi to Taiwan, contributing significantly to the country’s modern club landscape.

Through his ongoing work as a DJ, producer and event director, DJ Vertigo continues to support and shape the evolution of Taiwan’s electronic music scene, fostering connections between local audiences and the wider international community.

Episode 14 opens with DJ Vertigo steering Electronic Roots into a firm Techno landscape, using the rhythmic weight of Banzai and the sharpened edits of Drive to set a direct and focused mood. Energy tightens quickly as Consciousness and How Long (Eric Sneo Remix) bring sharper phrasing and mechanical detail. The pressure rises through Temptation and Distance, both shaping a confident Peak Time progression that establishes the pace for the first third of the mix.

The momentum then deepens with the atmospheric lift of Papua New Guinea (Sunju Hargun & Kimball Collins Rework) before returning to force with Scent, and Sometimes You Gotta Let It Go. Tracks like Heroes and Go (Extended Mix) add metallic punch, followed by the driving attitude of 90s Hammer and Shelter. Through this period, DJ Vertigo keeps the mix tight and linear, allowing each transition to land cleanly without breaking the forward motion.

As the set moves into its later phase, Response, Rush, and Rolling reinforce the rhythmic centre with trademark Drumcode and Tronic density. The Reactivitz and Day One introduce fresh textures before the darker edges of Shout bring a raw undertone. Glow (Filterheadz Remix) reconnects with classic Tronic design, paving the way for larger, festival-scaled moments in the final run.

The closing sequence blends iconic reworks with modern power as Bart Skils’ remix of Universal Nation and the Clergy-driven Chroma lifts the final energy. Why Are We Here? and Detection keep momentum high before the set concludes with two timeless reinterpretations, Go (Bart Skils Remix) and a driving bootleg of Children. Episode 14 stands as a strong Peak Time and Hypnotic Techno showcase, shaped with precision from start to finish.
