Bicycle Corporation hosted Malaysian DJ and producer Terence C for Electronic Roots 16 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Bicycle Corporation is the Italian collaboration of DJ and producer Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Together, they have produced more than 50 original tracks and remixes across house music and techno subgenres.
Marco Mei began DJing and producing with the Urban People crew in the early 1990s, gaining recognition throughout Italy. That early work led to a residency at Pacha in Egypt and international DJ bookings.
Stefano Ugliano, from Torino, Italy, showed musical ability from a young age through classical piano, percussion and drums. His interest in Chopin’s compositions and West African djembe provided foundations for his later work in electronic music.
Electronic beats were rare on Italian radio during the 1990s, and Stefano’s interest in DJing helped lead to the formation of Bicycle Corporation. The duo has revisited its early material and created a Bandcamp page for distributing original work to new listeners.
Guest DJ Terence C.
This week's guest DJ is Terence C, a standout figure in Malaysia's electronic music scene. With over 22 years as a resident DJ in Kuala Lumpur’s top clubs, Terence C is a gem in the world of house music and techno. His impressive career includes warming up for a lineup of iconic DJs such as David Morales, Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong, Chicane, Sasha, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, M.A.N.D.Y., and Paul van Dyk. His extensive experience has made him a sought-after opener for many of these top house music and techno DJs.
Terence's reputation for excellence is evident from his consistent role as the go-to DJ whenever John Digweed performs in KL. Having delivered at least nine opening or closing sets for Digweed at his request, Terence C has solidified his status in the techno and progressive house scenes. For the past nine years, he has been a key figure at Zouk KL, Malaysia’s premier international clubbing destination, shaping its musical identity through his diverse sets and role as a VJ.
His passion for techno continues to shine through his monthly event, ‘We Love Techno,’ which he curates alongside DJ XU. This night focuses on underground techno sounds from influential labels like Drumcode, Cocoon Recordings, and Bedrock Records, reflecting Terence's dedication to deep house and techno music.
Beginning his career in 1998 as a protégé of DJ Chris Doss, Terence quickly established himself with residences at KL's Cubeat and Globar. A significant milestone came when he warmed up for David Morales during his first-ever Malaysian show, marking a high point in Terence’s early career.
Throughout Malaysia's vibrant dance music scene, Terence has been a mainstay at venues like Movement Club, Backroom, Nouvo, and Atmosphere. His influence extends beyond Malaysia, with notable performances at Lush in Singapore and Liquid Club in Ho Chi Minh City.
In 2005, Terence co-founded Altered Image with Callen Tham and Didjital, an audio-visual collective that pushed boundaries by blending cinematic visuals with turntable beats and live effects. Their innovative approach won them the Malaysian Heineken Thirst competition and took them on a Southeast Asian tour, gaining a new fan base along the way.
Always at the forefront of technological innovation, Terence has invested heavily in mastering Ableton Live, enhancing his sets with both software and traditional decks. With nearly a decade at Zouk KL, Terence C is now focusing more on his production work, with several releases planned for later in the year. Expect an exciting increase in his visibility across Southeast Asia, as Terence C continues to be one of Malaysia's most dedicated and influential DJs.
DJ Terence C opens Electronic Roots Episode 16 with Dachshund and Chaton’s “Bleeping In Me,” moving immediately into Melodic House and Techno. HAFT’s “Zhaal” and Slow Hearts’ “Shimia” introduce Organic House, while Diamond Dealer featuring Tabia adds Afro House through the Atmos Blaq remix of “Mbali'nhle.”
Yør Kultura’s “Morse” shifts into Indie Dance, followed by Shahrokh Dini’s instrumental version of “Dust” and Radio Slave’s remix of Lauer and Fabrizio Mammarella. The latter provides the set’s first Peak Time Techno entry before Lauer’s remix of Kotelett returns to indie dance.
Matthias Meyer and Budakid continue that direction with “Sweet Ease,” followed by Aaaron’s remix of Mr. Blasé and Boskasie’s “Anangu Moon.” Booka Shade’s “Drago” and Dachshund with Chaton’s “Euphoria” then restore the melodic-house-and-techno emphasis through a run of contemporary 2021 releases.
Stereo Underground’s “Cyberia” introduces Progressive House, while Tiefschwarz’s “Issst” brings an older House Music reference into the middle of the programme. Âme and Josh Butler follow, with “Change The Line” placing the selection back into melodic house and techno before the final section becomes noticeably tougher.
Petter B’s “Voltage Controlled Time” begins the closing techno sequence before Madloch and Subnode briefly return to progressive house through Petar Dundov’s remix of “A Short Moment.” Petter B then appears again with John H and M.E.E.O on “Bergsjön Eternal,” keeping Drumcode’s peak-time techno character prominent.
John Selway’s “Interstellar Express” precedes DJ T.’s “Patci,” which closes the episode with Electronica rather than another conventional techno track. Terence C’s Electronic Roots 16 therefore moves from organic, Afro and melodic house through indie dance and progressive house before reaching a stronger techno emphasis in its final third.
