Terence C joins Bicycle Corporation as a guest DJ for episode 3 of Electronic Roots on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, publishing music news and connecting audiences across the region and internationally.


Bicycle Corporation is the long-running collaboration between Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei and classically trained musician Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884. Together they draw on decades of experience across house, techno and live musicianship, combining those backgrounds into a distinctive and evolving musical identity.


Marco Mei came up through Italy's underground electronic movement in the early 1990s, working with the Urban People collective to help shape independent house and techno culture before expanding internationally through residencies and performances across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.


Stefano Ugliano built his musical foundation through classical studies in piano, percussion and drums, drawing from both traditional composition and global rhythmic traditions. That grounding in arrangement and musicality fed directly into his work in electronic production and shaped the Bicycle Corporation sound from the outset.


Together, Marco and Stefano have built a catalogue spanning house, techno and deeper electronic styles through their Bandcamp and label releases, maintaining a consistent commitment to underground music culture. Electronic Roots continues to serve as a platform for that vision, bringing together their broad musical perspective with contributions from respected artists across the international underground scene.

Guest DJ Terence C.


Terence C is a Malaysian DJ and producer now based in Shanghai with over two decades of experience across Asia's underground electronic music scene. His influence on Kuala Lumpur's house and techno community has been significant, shaped through a series of respected residencies and long-running club appearances that helped define the city's underground sound.


Shared bills have included David Morales, Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong and John Digweed, the latter during Digweed's visits to Malaysia and performances at Zouk Club Kuala Lumpur. His career began in 1998 under the guidance of DJ Chris Doss, with early appearances at Cubeat and Globar before a breakthrough supporting David Morales at his first Malaysian show.


Venues including Movement, Backroom, Nouvo and Atmosphere followed, alongside regional appearances at Lush in Singapore and Liquid in Ho Chi Minh City. In 2005 he co-founded Altered Image with Callen Tham and Digital, a multimedia project combining electronic music, turntablism and live visual performance.


The concept won the Malaysian edition of the Heineken Thirst competition before touring Southeast Asia. Before the pandemic, he also co-founded We Love Techno with DJ XU, a Kuala Lumpur event series dedicated to the harder sounds of labels including Drumcode and Cocoon, which became a recognised fixture in the city's techno scene.


In recent years, he has evolved his performance approach through hybrid setups combining traditional mixing with Ableton Live integration. His Movement Control mix series reflects that progression through refined selection and a contemporary approach to house and techno. He remains active in the studio and on international radio alongside his live schedule. Find him on Facebook.


Bicycle Corporation's Electronic Roots Episode 03 with Terence C in the selector's seat for a set that moves between Progressive House and Melodic House and Techno with a consistent sense of direction. Aubrey Fry's Dystopia on Bedrock Records opens with a measured and atmospheric quality before Theus Mago's Shalom in the Sascha Funke Remix on Feines Tier and Frankey and Sandrino's Hope 43 on Sum Over Histories develop the melodic progressive direction.


Amberoom, Blakkat and BabyGirl's Forces of Nature on Crosstown Rebels and Joseph Ashworth's Cobalt on Siamese carry the set forward before Ameli Paul's Beyond Reason in the Aera Remix on MEIOSIS introduces a deeper, more atmospheric quality. Luke Alessi and Stereo MC's Matter in the Aaaron Remix on Mobilee Records and Marc Romboy's Empathy on Systematic Recordings sustain the progressive and melodic direction, Romboy's longstanding Systematic label providing a familiar and trusted progressive underground context.


Kino Todo and Soli's Space Sum in the DJ Tennis Remix on Blue Shadow and Joseph Ashworth's second Siamese selection Episode 8 carry the set through its mid-section before Zombies In Miami's Disco Nostalgia in the Marvin and Guy Mix In Space on Permanent Vacation introduces an Indie Dance quality that briefly shifts the episode's character. Aubrey Fry returns with Nature on Bedrock Records before Guy J's Small Alarms on Lost and Found and Guy Mantzur's My Wild Flower also on Lost and Found place the Israeli label at the centre of the episode's second half.


AFFKT's Let It Burn on Mobilee Records and Yulia Niko's Kalimera on Mood Records carry the set into its later stages before Marsh's Little Darling on Spectrum NL delivers one of the episode's warmer and more melodic moments. Solee's Reboot on Future Romance and Sobek's Charmer in the David Mayer Edition on Chapter 24 Records sustain the progressive direction before Mr. Tea's Learning To Fall in Powel's Bouncy Remix on Exotic Refreshment provides a second Indie Dance moment.


Abundance and Parallells's Blooming Flower in the Whitesquare Remix on Sapiens closes the episode, rounding off a set that moved fluidly between Progressive House and Melodic House and Techno throughout. Terence C's selection for Episode 03 is a coherent and melodically consistent piece of programming that reinforces Electronic Roots as a home for the progressive underground.
