Bicycle Corporation has announced its playlist for their 'Roots' episode 170. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music station, proter, and DJ agency serving the Asian region and globally.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo of the DJ and Producer Marco Mei plus the talented Stefano Ugliano with the moniker 6884. The Italian duo has currently released more than 50 tracks and remixes, spanning a variety of genres such as Deep House, Tech House, French House, Melodic, and Techno.
In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical journey as a DJ and producer, initially performing at local events. Eventually, he started organizing his own events with his group, 'Urban People,' throughout Italy.
This established his reputation as a skilled disc jockey, leading to a residency at the worldwide club brand Pacha in Daar es Salaam, Egypt. His residency and ability to energize parties earned him international DJ bookings, propelling him on a global musical journey.
Growing up in Torino, Italy, Stefano showed a remarkable talent for music from a young age. He pursued classical piano, percussion, and drums with great enthusiasm, developing a love for composers such as Chopin and instruments like the West African Djembe.
Yet, the image of the disc jockey energizing the crowd became increasingly captivating for the teenage Stefano. He pondered whether those elusive electronic beats rarely heard on '90s Italian radio, might usher in a completely new phase of his life. It was then that he met Marco, leading to the evolution of Bicycle Corporation.
Despite their global recognition, Marco and Stefan have not forgotten their roots as teenagers new to electronic music. Just recently they’ve been going back over some of their earlier tracks and even set up a Bandcamp page to distribute them.
Episode 170 of Roots by Bicycle Corporation transports listeners through a sonic journey that seamlessly intertwines Afrobeat, Disco, Brazilian Jazz, and Funk. This episode highlights global influences with iconic tracks from legends like James Brown, Fela Kuti, and Manu Dibango, complemented by re-edits that infuse new life into these timeless grooves.
