Bicycle Corporation has revealed that guest DJ Marcy (as detailed below) will feature in their 'Electronic Roots' episode 101. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an electronic music station and DJ agency in Asia, catering to both regional and international audiences.
Bicycle Corporation represents an Italian production collaboration between DJ and Producer Marco Mei and the talented Stefano Ugliano, also recognised as 6884. During the early nineties, Marco embarked on his journey as a disc jockey and producer.
Following his initial introduction, Marco delved into organising his own House music and Techno events under the banner 'Urban People' throughout Italy. His events garnered significant success, prompting Marco to relocate to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, where he commenced a residency with the internationally acclaimed party brand, Pacha, after a decade in the Italian scene.
His captivating sets and productions garnered attention, leading to international bookings as a DJ. Marco has graced the decks alongside globally renowned artists such as David Morales, Justin Berkman, Roger Sanchez, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Romero, and Ralph Falcon, among numerous others.
Stefano, hailing from Torino, Italy, exhibited promise as a budding musician from an early age. His deep-seated passion for musical arts consumed much of his spare time, manifesting as a keen interest in classical piano, percussion, and drums. Moreover, he greatly appreciated the works of 'Chopin' and the 'West African Djembe.'
Despite Stefano's dedication to various genres of music, there was one particular passion that stood out above all others: the allure of the DJ spinning the wheels of steel. For the teenage Stefano, those beats held a unique appeal, rarely heard on any Italian radio station during that era.
Crafting such sounds, let alone performing them in front of large audiences, might have appeared as an unattainable dream to many. However, Stefano remained undeterred.
Driven by his vision, he was determined to see it through to fruition. With hard work, dedication, and sheer tenacity, Stefano's introduction to Marco led to the establishment of Bicycle Corporation, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
Despite their current success, Marco and Stefano have not lost sight of their humble beginnings. Recently, they have revisited some of their earlier tracks, demonstrating a commitment to their roots. They have even established a Bandcamp page to distribute these tracks, reflecting their appreciation for their journey and the music that shaped it.
