Terence C, a guest DJ from Bicycle Corporation, will showcase his upcoming Electronic Roots show on Scientific Sound Asia. Being the leading electronic music station and DJ agency in Asia, Scientific Sound Asia serves audiences locally and globally.
The Italian duo of DJ and producer Marco Mei and the talented Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884, form Bicycle Corporation. They have created and remixed more than 50 original tracks in the genres of House and Techno, establishing a strong presence in the electronic music industry through their collaborative work.
During the early nineties, Marco started his musical career as a DJ, drawn to the rise of Electronic music and Afrocentric beats. After entering the music scene, he launched his own House music and Techno events named Urban People, which took place in different venues across Italy.
With this, Marco began his influential journey in the electronic music scene, immersing himself further in sound exploration and event organization. His skill on the turntables quickly earned him acclaim, resulting in a sought-after residency at Pacha in Egypt.
By taking on this crucial role, he not only increased his standing in the industry but also gained access to international DJ opportunities, launching him on a global musical adventure. The acclaim he received while working at Pacha was the starting point for Marco's exploration, as he set out to showcase his musical skills to audiences worldwide.
Stefano, born in Torino, Italy, showed exceptional musical talent early in life. Introduced to the world of music by his parents, he enthusiastically followed his love for music, exploring classical piano, percussion, and drums with great commitment. His musical interests and influences were diverse, ranging from Chopin's emotional compositions to the lively rhythms of West African Djembe.
Stefano developed a deep musical expertise through dedicated exploration and practice, which would go on to influence his impact on the electronic music scene. As Stefano grew older, his interest in music transformed, leading him towards the enticing world of electronic DJs captivating ravers.
He had no idea that the vibrant electronic music, rarely heard on Italian radio stations in the '90s, would lead to a significant change in his life. Captivated by the magnetic allure of electronic music, Stefano was irresistibly attracted to its mesmerizing beats and melodies.
Despite their current success, Marco and Stefano stay connected to their modest beginnings. Lately, they have gone back to some of their earlier songs, showing their dedication to respecting their musical origins. Moreover, they have set up a Bandcamp page to share their creations, highlighting their commitment to safeguarding their artistic heritage.
Electronic Roots, the House Music and Techno radio show hosted by Marco and Stefano, acts as a platform for highlighting prominent artists from various parts of Asia. This project not only honours the wide-ranging talent present in the Asian electronic music industry but also encourages networking and partnerships within the worldwide music community.
