Bicycle Corporation and guest DJ Brendon P feature in Foundations 07 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, as well as a music-news platform connecting audiences across the region and internationally.
Bicycle Corporation is the Italian duo formed by DJ and producer Marco Mei alongside Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Together, they have built a catalogue of over fifty releases across house and techno, with a consistent presence in the underground scene.
Marco Mei began his musical journey in the early 1990s, developing his craft as a DJ and producer. Through the Urban People collective, he organised events across Italy, gaining recognition and securing a residency at Pacha, which led to international bookings.
Stefano Ugliano, raised in Torino, developed a strong musical foundation from an early age through classical piano, percussion and drums. Influenced by both the compositions of Chopin and West African percussion, he gradually became drawn to electronic music and DJ culture during a period when it was less accessible on Italian radio.
When Marco and Stefano joined forces, Bicycle Corporation emerged as a project shaped by shared experience and musical depth. Their work balances technical precision with a broad appreciation of electronic music across their productions and radio shows.
For this episode, they are joined by guest DJ Brendon P, whose approach is rooted in disco, soul, funk and house. His selection style complements the Foundations concept, bringing a deeper, groove-focused perspective to the programme.
Guest DJ Brendon P.
DJ Brendon P, real name Brendon Perera, is a Singaporean DJ known for his low-profile and lo-fi approach to his craft. He has been active for over four decades, beginning in 1980 on the Singapore mobile DJ circuit before moving into clubs a year later.
A trip to New York in 1984 exposed him to venues such as Funhouse, Paradise Garage, Danceteria and Area. These experiences immersed him in early club culture and the formative sounds that would later evolve into house music.
Over the years, he has developed a broad musical identity shaped by both local and international influences. His core styles now include House, Techno, Disco, Nu Disco, Funk, Soul, Lounge and Electronica.
During the 1980s and 1990s, he played extensively through collectives such as Juliana’s and Bacchus, later holding residencies with Neo Pharaohs, Venom and NOX. He also held a long-standing nine-year residency at Singapore’s Zouk Club, one of the region’s most recognised venues.
Between 2001 and 2009, he was a resident at Kyo, followed by five years at CÉ LA VI at Marina Bay Sands. He continues to perform regularly across the local and international circuit, including appearances in cities such as London, New York, Miami and Hong Kong, as well as a set at Cielo in New York in 2010.
As a producer, he has released original work and remixes on labels including In The Woods, Los Grandes, Reversoulmusic, Audio Parallax, Hotbox Music, Soul Shift, Defected, Rawjak and Issys Groove. His attention to detail and refined musical taste led Nicolas Mattar of Cielo and Output to describe him as a “taste master” and one of the leading DJs in the region.
His sets are known for moving across genres while maintaining a consistent musical direction. For this show, he features a selection including Deep House, Classic House, House and Electronica.
DJ Brendon P opens Foundations Episode 07 with Mr. Fingers’ “Can You Feel It,” one of the defining records associated with early House Music. The track remains catalogued as house across multiple modern editions, setting up an episode rooted strongly in Chicago, New York and late-eighties club music.
Amy Jackson and Connie Case precede T-Coy’s “Carino” in a Motor City Drum Ensemble remix, before Kariya’s “Let Me Love You For Tonight” reinforces the Classic House direction. Kariya’s Sleeping Bag release is catalogued as house, including its House Club Version and Junior Vasquez treatment.
FPI Project and Nomad bring familiar vocal and piano-house references into the next section, followed by DV8 and Brendon P’s edit of 2 Men, A Drum Machine & A Trumpet. Deep Dish and Slam then move the selection towards the deeper and more progressive side of early club music without breaking the programme’s historical house focus.
Ten City’s “Whatever Makes You Happy” brings Soulful House into the centre of the set through its gospel-influenced vocal approach, with the original release catalogued as house. Pontchartrain featuring Larry Love and Aly-Us follow, with “Follow Me” adding another major Strictly Rhythm reference before Todd Terry returns the programme to New York house.
Jamie Principle’s “Baby Wants To Ride” links back to Chicago before Unit 2’s “Sunshine” receives a Tiger & Woods treatment that brings a disco-oriented edge into the later section. Frankie Knuckles then appears with the Director’s Cut version of “The Whistle Song,” whose Re-Directed edition is classified as Deep House.
NuYorican Soul featuring Jocelyn Brown closes Foundations Episode 07 with “It’s Alright (I Feel It),” completing a Brendon P set built around foundational house records, vocal cuts and later reinterpretations. Rather than following the harder techno direction of several other Foundations episodes, this edition concentrates on classic house, soulful house and deeper club music from several generations.
