Bicycle Corporation announce guest Brendon P for Roots 147.

Bicycle Corporation has announced guest DJ Brendon P for episode 147 of their acclaimed Roots series. Broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, a leading electronic music station, DJ Agency, and promoter, this series continues to explore the deep musical heritage and global underground sounds, reaching listeners across Asia and internationally.

Bicycle Corporation is the creative partnership of Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei and multi-instrumentalist Stefano Ugliano, also known by the alias 6884. Marco began his journey in the early 1990s, contributing to Italy’s thriving electronic music scene as part of the events crew behind 'Urban People'.

His keen ear, technical ability, and passion for the underground quickly earned him a reputation across Italy. Before long, he was playing internationally, with performances at renowned clubs and events spanning Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Stefano, born and raised in Turin, demonstrated musical ability from an early age. He immersed himself in classical training, studying piano, percussion, and drums.

Influenced by the elegance of Chopin and the vibrant rhythms of West African instruments like the Djembe, he cultivated a broad and diverse appreciation for music. Yet despite his classical foundation, it was electronic music and the role of the DJ that truly captivated him.

At a time when such sounds were rarely heard on Italian radio, Stefano became fascinated by the energy and creativity of DJ culture and dedicated himself to learning the craft. The pivotal moment came when Stefano met Marco.

The two artists, despite coming from different musical paths, shared a deep appreciation for rhythm, groove, and boundary-pushing production. Their connection was instant, and it wasn’t long before they decided to collaborate. From this creative union, Bicycle Corporation was born.

Combining Marco’s decades of DJ experience with Stefano’s musicality and production skills, the duo began releasing original tracks that spanned a wide spectrum of electronic music. Their discography now includes over 50 releases, covering genres such as House, Deep House, Tech House, Techno, French House, and beyond.

Their music has been supported by respected labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka, and Revox, and continues to receive acclaim from both underground communities and international audiences. Despite their global success, Marco and Stefano have stayed true to their roots.

Recently, they have revisited some of their earliest works and launched a Bandcamp page to share these formative tracks with a new generation of listeners. As resident artists on Scientific Sound Asia and regular contributors to the Roots series, they remain committed to showcasing quality electronic music and connecting cultures through sound.

Guest DJ Brendon P.

Brendon P, whose full name is Brendon Perera, is a veteran DJ from Singapore with a career spanning over four decades. Known for his understated, low-profile approach, he has remained a consistent presence in the global music scene since beginning his journey in 1980 on the local mobile DJ circuit, before transitioning to club residencies a year later.

A formative trip to New York in 1984 exposed Brendon to iconic venues such as the Funhouse, Paradise Garage, Danceteria, and Area. These influential spaces introduced him to the heart of the emerging club culture and deeply shaped his musical direction, particularly in what would soon evolve into house music.

Throughout his career, Brendon has cultivated a broad musical range, performing across Singapore and internationally. His sound now reflects a blend of House, Techno, Disco, Nu Disco, Funk, Soul, Lounge, and Electronica, always delivered with a refined ear and dedication to quality.

His club credentials are extensive. In the 1980s and 1990s, he performed for venues under the Juliana’s and Bacchus groups and held residencies at notable clubs such as Neo Pharaohs, Venom, and NOX.

He later enjoyed a nine-year residency at Singapore’s globally renowned Zouk Club. Between 2001 and 2009, he also held a two-year residency at Kyo and, more recently, spent six years as part of the resident DJ team at the prestigious CE LA VI Rooftop Club & Skybar at Marina Bay Sands.

Brendon’s international reach is equally impressive. He has played in cities such as Geneva, Gothenburg, Melbourne, London, New York, Miami, Taipei, Hanoi, and Hong Kong. A highlight of his career includes a set at New York’s legendary (and now closed) Cielo Club in June 2010.

As a producer, Brendon has released original music and remixes on respected labels including In The Woods (USA), Los Grandes (Spain), Reversoulmusic (USA), Audio Parallax (UK), Hotbox Music (USA), Soul Shift (USA), Defected (UK), Rawjak (Singapore), Eclesia (Singapore), Issys Groove (UK), Love International (Malaysia), and One With Music (Singapore).

With an uncompromising approach to musical sophistication and a deep sense of stylistic awareness, Brendon P has earned praise from industry leaders. Nicolas Matar, owner of New York venues Cielo and Output, has described him as a “taste master” and one of the finest DJs in the region. Audiences can expect sets that move fluidly across genres and eras, showcasing his ability to bridge the past, present, and future with insight and finesse.

DJ Brendon P opens Roots 147 with reworks of iconic soul tracks, from Family Affair by Sly & The Family Stone to Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues, both extended with subtle enhancements for the dancefloor. These edits preserve the emotive power of the originals while bringing a contemporary groove that fits the show’s soulful tone.

The funk continues with Pleasure’s Let’s Dance and Earth, Wind & Fire’s Sun Goddess, both enriched with lush arrangements and rhythmic polish. Tracks like Rock Shock and Bring On The Music inject Nu Disco bounce, while Delfonic and Young Pulse deliver joyful modern takes on retro funk. The inclusion of Steely Dan’s Peg adds a pop-rock flourish to the set’s midsection.

Later in the mix, Brendon weaves in Afro-Disco and Balearic-leaning tunes like Ashwero Awa and Mwana Hey, nodding to African rhythms and global funk traditions. George Duke’s Brazilian Love Affair and Nenor’s And Others blend deep grooves with organic instrumentation, balancing tradition with modernity.

The set closes with Disco House, Deep House, and Soulful House selections, including Dimitri From Paris’s rework of Needin’ U and Moplen’s remix of Love Yourself. These tracks bring the energy full circle while maintaining the episode’s emotional warmth. From A.O.R to Afrobeat, Brendon P’s curation continues to spotlight both heritage and innovation in soulful dance music.
