Bicycle Corporation announced that guest DJ Psycho-UK will be part of episode 195 of their 'Roots' show. Scientific Sound Asia functions as an electronic music station, DJ agency, and event management company serving audiences in Asia and worldwide on a global level.
The Italian DJ and producer duo known as Bicycle Corporation consists of Marco Mei and Stefano Ugliano, who is also known by his alias 6884. They are celebrated for their diverse musical style, which includes Deep House, Tech House, French House, and Techno.
During the early 1990s, Marco started his career by organizing house music and techno events with Urban People. Thanks to his hard work and skill, he quickly gained recognition in the music industry, becoming a popular artist in Italy.
However, Marco had bigger aspirations beyond his home country. His fame expanded globally, resulting in performances worldwide, representing a major achievement in his professional journey.
Stefano, who hails from Torino, Italy, has shown a natural love for music from a young age. He spent a lot of his free time nurturing his passion for music. Through his formal education, he perfected his abilities in classical piano, percussion, and drums. His musical tastes were broad, encompassing the compositions of Chopin and the beats of West African Djembe, demonstrating his varied musical preferences.
Stefano had a deep appreciation for various music genres, but his strongest passion was for Disc Jockeys and the music they selected. During the nineties, when he was a teenager, Stefano found the energetic rhythms played by DJs extremely captivating, especially since they were not commonly heard on Italian radio stations.
Performing music in front of a large audience may seem like an impossible dream to many, but Stefano remained determined to achieve it. With unwavering dedication, relentless effort, and a strong commitment, he and Marco pushed forward to create Bicycle Corporation.
Despite their current successes, Marco and Stefan stay connected to their roots. Lately, they have been reminiscing by revisiting some of their early tracks and have even established a Bandcamp page for sharing their music. Through their Roots radio show, they shine a spotlight on well-known DJs and producers in Asia's electronic music scene, demonstrating their dedication to the region's dynamic musical environment.
