Bicycle Corporation have made public their musical selection for their next 'Roots' show. Scientific Sound Asia is the English language electronic music station for Malaysia, China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea and the rest of Asia.
Bicycle Corporation is an Italian duo of the DJ and Producer Marco Mei plus the skilled Stefano Ugliano aka 6884. As a duo, they have published over 50 original tracks and a host of remixes on various labels.
In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical career as a DJ. He initiated his own house music and techno events under the group name 'Urban People' across Italy.
His notoriety increased when he secured a residency at Pacha, Egypt. The recognition he received during his residency led to international DJ bookings, launching him on a global musical journey.
Stefano, who grew up in Torino, Italy, showed remarkable musical talents from a young age. He enthusiastically delved into studying classical piano, percussion, and drums, finding joy in composing pieces by Chopin and being captivated by the sound of West African Djembes.
During his teenage years, Stefano became increasingly fascinated by the figure of 'the DJ'. Little did he know that the electronic beats, which were difficult to find on Italian radio stations in the '90s, would lead to a whole new chapter in his life.
The track list for the next show is laid out below and represents the 'Roots' of their sound and the genres they have drawn influence from in their electronic releases. These genres include Funk, Disco, Soul, Afrobeat, Electro, Rare Groove, Hip Hop, and Afrocentric. Bicycle Corporation are available for booking via our DJ agency for Asia.
Bicycle Corporation’s Roots Episode 25, aired on February 23, 2020, delivers an energetic blend of Disco, Funk, Afrobeat, and Brazilian Samba. Highlights include Afrobeat gems like Fela Kuti And Africa 70’s "Opposite People" and Black Soul’s "Bongo Drums," alongside Brazilian rhythms from Alceu Valenca’s "Pelas Ruas Que Andei" and Mistura Fina’s "Isto Eì O Que Eì A Batucada."
Disco classics like Salsoul Orchestra’s "Runaway" and Hamilton Bohannon’s "Bohannon’s Beat" pair seamlessly with Nu Disco grooves like In Flagranti’s "Kachi Kachi." Cosmic and Italo Disco influences shine through tracks such as Brian Briggs’ "Aeo" and Amin Peck’s "Coda," creating a vibrant and groove-driven musical journey.
