Bicycle Corporation announce guest Brendon P for his sixteenth show

Bicycle Corporation has announced that guest DJ Brendon P will headline their upcoming 'Roots' 93 show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio functions as an underground radio station, music news publisher, promoter, and DJ agency, catering to the Asian Region and beyond, while also reaching out to international audiences.

Bicycle Corporation comprises the Italian duo of DJ and producer Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, who is also known as 6884. They have gained renown for their diverse catalogue, boasting over 50 releases spanning multiple genres including Techno, Deep House, House, Melodic, and French House.

In the early nineties, Marco launched his career by immersing himself in the House Music and Techno scene, working as a crew member for events such as 'Urban People.' His increasing presence in the music industry enhanced his reputation, establishing him as a notable figure throughout Italy. However, Marco's journey didn't stop at his home country. Building on his successes domestically, he swiftly gained international recognition, securing performances worldwide.

Hailing from Torino, Italy, Stefano demonstrated musical talent from a young age. With a profound passion for music, he dedicated much of his free time to refining his skills. Stefano's musical journey involved various pursuits, including studying classical piano and percussion and mastering the drums. He particularly admired Chopin's compositions and the intricate rhythms of the West African Djembe.

Amidst Stefano's exploration of different music genres, one passion stood out: the mesmerising world of DJing. From his teenage years, Stefano was captivated by the art of spinning records. The pulsating beats and rhythms from the turntables had a unique charm, especially given their rarity on Italian radio stations at the time.

For many, the idea of creating and performing such sounds, let alone sharing them with audiences, might have seemed like an unattainable dream. However, Stefano was not discouraged, driven by a vision he was determined to realise. With Marco's support and their shared dedication, commitment, and persistence, Bicycle Corporation was born, embodying the duo's relentless pursuit of their musical dreams.

Even amidst their current success, Marco and Stefano maintain a connection to their humble origins. Recently, they've revisited some of their earlier tracks, reflecting their gratitude for the musical journey they've undertaken. Additionally, they've established a Bandcamp page to distribute these tracks, providing fans with an opportunity to reconnect with the duo's beginnings.

Brendon started his career in 1980 on the local mobile circuit and transitioned to clubs the following year. However, his crucial visit to New York in 1984 greatly impacted his musical journey.

During his time in New York, he visited iconic clubs like the Funhouse, the Paradise Garage, Dancetaria, and the Area. This immersion in the lively New York club scene and the burgeoning house music movement left a lasting and significant impression on him.

Throughout his extensive DJ career, spanning an array of musical genres including House, Techno, Disco, Nu-Disco, Funk, Soul, Lounge, and Electronica, Brendon P has graced both local and international events. With roots firmly planted in the club scene since the 1980s, he has honed his skills, cultivating a discerning ear and an enduring passion for dance music.

Brendon P's illustrious career features residencies with renowned groups like Juliana’s and Bacchus in the '90s, along with performances with Neo Pharaohs, Venom, and NOX during the same period.

Additionally, from July 2001 to May 2009, Brendon maintained a 2-year residency at Kyo and played an essential role as part of the Residents team at the prestigious CE LA VI Rooftop Club & Skybar at Marina Bay Sands for 4 and a half years.

Brendon remains a pivotal figure in both the local and international club scene today. His DJ sets have captivated audiences in cities around the world, including Geneva, Gothenburg, Melbourne, London, New York, Miami, Taiwan, Hanoi, Hong Kong, and more.

Brendon also had the honour of performing at the prestigious (and now defunct) Cielo Club in New York in June 2010. Furthermore, as a producer in his own right, Brendon has released original tracks and remixes on esteemed labels such as In The Woods (USA), Los Grandes (Spain), Reversoulmusic (USA), Audio Parallax (UK), and various others.

Brendon's unwavering dedication to musical style, sophistication, and meticulous attention to detail has earned him immense praise.
