Bicycle Corporation publishes the tracklist for 'Roots' 140.

Bicycle Corporation has unveiled its playlist for the 140th episode of their 'Roots' series. Scientific Sound Asia is an electronic music station, promoter, and DJ agency that caters to the Asian region and audiences worldwide.

Bicycle Corporation comprises the talented duo of DJ and producer Marco Mei and the accomplished Stefano Ugliano, who is also known by his alias 6884. Marco embarked on his musical career as a disc jockey and producer in the early 1990s.

He began organising his own events under the name 'Urban People', which gained traction throughout Italy. This initiative led to his recognition in the industry, culminating in a residency at the prestigious Pacha in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.

As a result, Marco began receiving international DJ bookings, propelling him on a global musical journey where he shared the stage with some of the most esteemed figures in the electronic music scene.

Stefano, hailing from Torino, Italy, exhibited musical talent from a young age. His passion for music consumed much of his leisure time, leading him to study classical piano, percussion, and drums, while also developing a profound appreciation for the works of Chopin and the rhythms of West African Djembe.

However, the allure of the disc jockey captivating the crowd grew increasingly irresistible for the teenage Stefano. He pondered whether the elusive electronic beats, which were scarce on Italian radio stations in the 1990s, would herald a transformative chapter in his life, ultimately leading to the formation of Bicycle Corporation. Recently, the duo has revisited some of their earlier tracks and established a Bandcamp page for their distribution.

This episode of Roots by Bicycle Corporation is a vibrant journey through the golden era of groove-heavy dance music. Episode 140 kicks off with Orlando Riva Sound’s “Body To Body Boogie” and a killer edit by Sould Out & The Funk District, followed by the funk-driven energy of Stretch, James Brown, and the unmistakable rhythms of Kongas.

Throughout the episode, listeners are treated to timeless edits and remixes that blend old-school flair with modern sensibilities. Highlights include “Jazz Carnival” by Azymuth reworked by Baldelli & Dionigi, the extended remix of “Let’s Go Round Again” by Average White Band via Dimitri From Paris, and the Soul, Funk, and Disco fusion on “Use Your Body & Soul” by Crown Heights Affair.

The vibe continues with nu-disco inflexions and Latin flavours on tracks like “Kongas Fun” (Hallex M Edit) and Conor’s “Bonus Drugs,” seamlessly keeping the groove alive. Carol Williams’ “Love Is You” and the Larry Levan mix of Class Action’s “Weekend” provide perfect dancefloor nostalgia with a polished twist.

Episode 140 is a full-bodied celebration of the era where rhythm reigned supreme. With its rich selection of edits, it’s a must-listen for fans of classic Funk, Soul, Disco, and everything in between.
