Bicycle Corporation is excited to announce that guest DJ Bean There will be featured on their Foundations 95 show. Operating as both an Asian electronic music station and a DJ agency, Scientific Sound Asia serves audiences locally and globally.
The Italian production duo, Bicycle Corporation, consists of DJ and Producer Marco Mei, and Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Marco began his career as a disc jockey and producer back in the early nineties.
Following his introduction, Marco started organizing unique house music and techno events under the alias 'Urban People' across his native Italy. After a decade in the Italian music scene, he achieved remarkable success and transitioned to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. There, he began a residency with the internationally renowned event series Pacha.
Marco's DJ sets and productions caught the attention of audiences worldwide, earning him international bookings. He has graced the decks alongside globally renowned artists such as David Morales, Justin Berkman, Roger Sanchez, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Romero, Ralph Falcon, and many others.
Stefano, originally from Torino, Italy, showed promising musical talent from an early age. His passion for music became a central focus in his life, occupying much of his spare time. He explored classical piano, percussion, and drums, while also developing a profound appreciation for the works of Chopin and the rhythmic complexities of West African Djembe.
Despite Stefano's broad musical interests, one passion stood out above all others: the art of DJing. From a young age, he was captivated by the allure of the person behind the turntables. The beats and rhythms spun by DJs held a unique appeal for him, particularly given their scarcity on Italian radio stations during that era.
For many, the idea of creating and performing music before large audiences might seem like an unattainable dream. However, Stefano remained undeterred. With a clear vision in mind, he joined forces with Marco and embarked on a journey fuelled by hard work, dedication, and unwavering determination. Together, they brought Stefano's dream to fruition, giving birth to Bicycle Corporation through their collective efforts.
Despite their success, Marco and Stefano have stayed true to their humble origins. Recently, they've taken the time to revisit some of their earlier tracks, reflecting on the journey that has brought them to where they are today. To honour their roots and share their musical evolution, they've set up a Bandcamp page to distribute these earlier works.
Guest DJ Bean There.
This week's guest DJ is Bean There, a seasoned veteran of the rave scene since the early 1990s. Immersing himself in the British rave culture, he frequented renowned events like Fantazia and Helter Skelter during his formative years. Countless nights were spent revelling in the pulsating beats until the early hours of the morning.
In the mid-1990s, Bean There transitioned into becoming an MC, collaborating and performing with numerous top UK DJs nationwide. However, in the early 2000s, he decided to step away from the microphone to focus on starting a family. Nevertheless, his passion for electronic music has remained unwavering, with him maintaining a deep connection to various forms of the genre.
Feeling restless, Bean There took a bold step a few years ago by delving into DJing. With a natural aptitude for learning and encouraged by the generous support of friends and fellow artists, including the owner of Sweatbox Records based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and DJ Biscuit, he committed himself to mastering the craft. Through perseverance and guidance, he eventually honed his skills behind the decks.
Bean There is celebrated for his versatility as a performer, effortlessly blending an eclectic mix of genres, including Deep Tech, House, Progressive, Melodic, Bass House, Tech House, and his personal favourite, Techno. His passion for DJing shines through in every set, and he thrives on the exhilarating experience of hunting for new tracks to keep his performances dynamic and fresh.
Bean There is always on the hunt for undiscovered gems as he delves deep into the music scene. The satisfaction he derives from witnessing people revel in his sets fills him with elation, motivating him to deliver unforgettable performances. With an unwavering commitment to his craft, he continuously refines his technique, always striving to learn and grow as a DJ.
His show features Techno and Peak Time Techno. Tune in live on Friday, April 19th, 2024, from 10 PM to 12 AM Indochina Time (ICT). For those who can't join us live, catch the replay of the show on Tuesday from 10 AM to 12 PM ICT.
