Bicycle Corporation present episode 61 of Roots with guest DJ Brendon P on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across the region and internationally.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian DJ and production duo comprising Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, who is also known as 6884. They have released more than 50 tracks and remixes across Deep House, Tech House, French House and Techno.
Marco began DJing and producing in the early 1990s as part of the Urban People collective, which built a following across Italy. That work led to a residency at Pacha nightclub and performances at venues and festivals internationally.
Stefano, who is from Torino, Italy, studied classical piano, percussion and drums from an early age. Influenced by Chopin and West African djembe rhythms, he turned towards electronic music as a teenager during the early 1990s, when the style had limited mainstream exposure in Italy.
Marco and Stefano revisit and rework earlier material, and they have created a Bandcamp page to share those releases. The archive gives newer listeners access to recordings from the duo’s earlier catalogue.
The pair draw on their individual musical backgrounds to make electronic records intended for the dancefloor. Marco is also available for bookings through Scientific Sound Asia’s DJ agency for performances across Asia.
Guest DJ Brendon P.
DJ Brendon P, born Brendon Perera, is a Singaporean DJ with nearly four decades of experience in the industry. Known for his low-profile, lo-fi approach to his craft, Brendon has built a reputation as a seasoned and versatile DJ with a deep love for the roots of dance music.
His journey began in 1980, starting in the local mobile circuit before moving to the club scene just a year later. A transformative trip to New York in 1984, where he visited iconic clubs such as Funhouse, Paradise Garage, Dancetaria, and Area, exposed him to the evolving house music culture that would shape his future sound.
Throughout his career, Brendon has immersed himself in a wide range of genres, including House, Techno, Disco, Nu Disco, Funk, Soul, Lounge, and Electronica. His eclectic taste and passion for dance music were further honed during his years of clubbing both locally and internationally. This musical diversity has made him a dynamic force behind the decks, with a keen ear for blending different genres and creating unique sets.
Brendon’s career boasts an impressive list of residencies at some of the region’s most renowned venues. He has had stints with prominent clubs such as Juliana’s and Bacchus, along with legendary residencies at Neo Pharaohs, Venom, and NOX throughout the ’90s. However, it was his nine-year residency at the iconic Zouk Club in Singapore that solidified his place in the annals of the local club scene.
Between 2001 and 2009, Brendon also held a two-year residency at Kyo, followed by four and a half years as a resident at the prestigious CE LA VI Rooftop Club & Skybar at Marina Bay Sands.
Brendon’s reach extends beyond Singapore, with performances in cities such as Geneva, Gothenburg, Melbourne, London, New York, Miami, Taiwan, Hanoi, and Hong Kong.
One of the highlights of his career was playing at the legendary (now closed) Cielo Club in New York in June 2010. His global presence and experience have cemented his reputation as a DJ capable of captivating crowds around the world.
In addition to his work as a DJ, Brendon is also a talented producer, having released original tracks and remixes on labels such as In The Woods (USA), Los Grandes (Spain), Reversoulmusic (USA), and Audio Parallax (UK), among others. His commitment to maintaining a high standard of musical sophistication and style has earned him accolades from industry insiders, including Nicolas Mattar, owner of New York’s Cielo and Output, who has praised Brendon as a 'taste-master' and one of the finest DJs in the region.
With his ability to blend a wide range of musical influences and create captivating sets that cross time and genre, Brendon P remains a staple in the global club circuit, delivering nothing less than exceptional performances every time.
Bicycle Corporation’s Roots 61 with DJ Brendon P opens with Offshore and Coen featuring Djana Covic’s Modern Smoker on Phat Elephant Recordings, bringing a Deep House foundation to the programme. Smashed Atoms featuring Kathy Diamond follow with the dub of Lifted on Hot Digits, before Chris Grubizna’s Right On Time appears via Masterworks Music.
Sound Support’s Prins Thomas Diskomiks of Europe on Internasjonal leads into Brenda Taylor’s Pete Le Freq Refreq of You Can’t Have Your Cake And Eat It Too on West End Records. The latter brings Dance Music into the early stretch, while Situation featuring Andre Espeut’s Ron Basejam Remix of You’re Not Here on Situationism keeps the selection moving.
Enduro Disco’s Coast 2 Coast on Exploited introduces Nu-Disco, followed by Todd Terje & The Olsens’ Baby Do You Wanna Bump on Olsen Records. Konk’s Petko Turner Edit of Your Life then brings Disco into focus through its Soundcloud-sourced version.
The Cooper Saver Remix of Phenomenal Handclap Band’s Riot on Toy Tonics shifts the programme towards Indie Dance. Art Of Tones’ Cameo Maceo on Frappé follows, before Massey featuring KimoKal’s Two 2 Tango on Sprechen and Prince’s Obas Nenor Edit of 17 Days broaden the middle passage.
Lifelike Frankel’s Tomowa on Soundcloud returns to Disco, while Sammy Massamba’s Aroop Roy Edit of Azali on Vive La Musique brings in House Music. The Re-Flex Re-vision of The Jacksons’ Can You Feel It on Bandcamp follows, placing a familiar vocal record alongside the programme’s edits and newer productions.
Danny Russell & Ronald Christoph’s Night Dancer on Bandcamp gives way to the MikeandTess re-work of Isaac Hayes’ Shaft on Soundcloud. Mass Production’s Joey Negro 7 Minutes Of Jazz Funk Mix of Cosmic Lust on Z Records closes the set with an extended version that gives the final selection room to unfold.
