Bicycle Corporation announce Murphy Kin a.k.a DJ Lucy for 'Roots' 118.

Bicycle Corporation has introduced guest DJ Murphy Kin, also known as DJ Lucy, for their new 'Roots' 118 show on Scientific Sound Asia. The station is an Asian electronic music hub that serves as a DJ agency, event promoter, and radio station for the region and beyond.

Bicycle Corporation is the collaborative project of Italian DJs and producers Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. The duo has an impressive portfolio of over 50 releases and remixes across various House and Techno sub-genres.

Marco Mei began his career in the early 90s, establishing a name for himself in the Italian club scene with his collective 'Urban People,' which organized events throughout Italy. His success earned him a residency at Pacha and propelled him onto the international stage, leading to DJ bookings worldwide.

Stefano Ugliano, raised in Torino, Italy, showed a passion for music from a young age. He was deeply involved in studying classical piano, percussion, and drums, and was equally influenced by both Western classical music and African rhythms.

His fascination with the electronic beats of the 90s Italian radio led him to pursue a career in electronic music. Meeting Marco Mei was pivotal, resulting in the formation of Bicycle Corporation, which allowed both artists to blend their diverse musical backgrounds into a cohesive project that pushed the boundaries of House and Techno.

The addition of Murphy Kin to the 'Roots' show signifies the corporation’s commitment to showcasing a diverse range of talent in the Asian electronic music scene, further establishing their presence in Asia and globally.

Guest DJ Murphy Kin.

This week's guest DJ is Murphy Kin, also known as DJ Lucy. With a background in the film industry, DJ Lucy approaches music production and DJing with a unique perspective, crafting sets that feel cinematic, with carefully curated ebbs and flows.

His style is eclectic, seamlessly transitioning across genres such as Disco, Indie, Rock, R&B, and Dance, rather than sticking strictly to a traditional 4/4 beat structure. Listening to DJ Lucy’s sets is akin to experiencing a narrative journey, with each track contributing to an evolving storyline.

He carefully constructs his sets, starting with a slow build-up and then moving through various genres and moods, much like the scenes of a movie. His performances are known for their dynamic energy and his ability to shift the crowd's mood with precision.

In addition to his role as a DJ, Lucy is the driving force behind Ting Ting Disco, a collective known for hosting vibrant parties across Taipei and Shanghai since 2015. Ting Ting Disco has expanded its reach beyond these cities, taking its events to other parts of China and Asia.

By 2021, Lucy aimed to elevate the experience even further by releasing online music and integrating productions worldwide, offering music lovers a broader palette of choices. During live performances, DJ Lucy’s approach is spontaneous and guided by the energy of the crowd, making each set a unique experience. He transitions through genres like Hip-Hop, Rock, Punk, and Jazz, creating an unpredictable yet captivating musical journey.

In Bicycle Corporation's Roots’ 118, Murphy Kin delivered an eclectic mix of genres, ranging from Nu Disco and House to Indie Dance and Funk. The show featured tracks from artists like Yuksek, Karizma, and WhoMadeWho, creating a diverse and engaging listening experience.
