The Electronic Roots show, presented by DJ Terence C guest of Bicycle Corporation, is set to grace the airwaves. As a premier electronic music station and DJ agency for Asia and the international scene, Scientific Sound Asia brings you this thrilling showcase.
The Bicycle Corporation comprises two Italians: the musically adept DJ and producer, Marco Mei plus the skilled Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Together, they have graced the world with more than 50 original compositions and remixes, encompassing a diverse range of House and Techno genres.
During the early 1990s, Marco embarked on his musical odyssey as a disc jockey, enthralled by the emergence of Electronic and Afrocentric music. From then on, he curated his own House and Techno events, alongside his collective, Urban People, spanning across Italy.
His proficiency on the turntables caused a stir and he secured a permanent spot at Pacha, Egypt. This residency propelled him to receive attention and gigs as a DJ on a global scale, igniting his journey to spread his musical influence worldwide.
Originating and maturing in Torino, Italy, Stefano exhibited exceptional aptitude in music during his formative years. He pursued classical piano, percussion, and drums with fervour, cherishing the works of Chopin and the West African Djembe.
But as he matured, his curiosity for music intensified and he found himself captivated by the sight of a DJ commanding the crowd with their electronic beats. Little did he know, those same beats that were difficult to come by on Italian radio stations in the 90s would pave the way for a new direction in his life.
Despite their current triumphs, Marco and Stefan have not disregarded their modest origins. Recently, they have revisited some of their initial compositions and have even established a Bandcamp page to disseminate them. Their radio shows, House Music and Techno on Electronic Roots showcase talented artists from all over Asia.
