Bicycle Corporation has revealed that guest DJ Jasmine Li will be featured on their 'Foundations' episode 91. Scientific Sound Asia is recognised as a prominent Asian electronic dance music genre station, promoter, and DJ agency, reaching audiences in Asia and internationally.
Bicycle Corporation comprises the Italian duo of DJ and producer Marco Mei alongside the talented Stefano Ugliano, known by the moniker 6884. Together, they have amassed a repertoire of over 50 tracks and remixes spanning various genres, including 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 events in his hometown. Over time, he transitioned to organizing his own House Music and Techno events alongside his cohorts, collectively known as 'Urban People,' which gained popularity across Italy.
After achieving success in his home country, he landed a residency at the prestigious nightclub franchise Pacha. He then relocated to Africa to start his residency in South Sinai, Egypt, more precisely in Sharm el Sheikh. His residency and his reputation for energizing the nightlife scene resulted in international DJ bookings and launched him into a global musical adventure.
Hailing from Torino, Italy, Stefano exhibited a natural affinity for music from a young age. Immersed in a rich musical environment, he passionately pursued classical piano, percussion, and drums during his formative years, nurturing his love for composers like Chopin and instruments such as the West African Djembe.
Yet, the attraction of the disc jockey commanding the crowd captivated the teenage Stefano more and more. He pondered whether the electronic beats, scarcely heard on '90s Italian radio stations, could pave the way for an entirely new chapter in his life. Then he and Marco's wires crossed and Bicycle Corporation emerged from their interaction.
Despite achieving global recognition, Marco and Stefano remain connected to their roots as teenagers discovering electronic music. Recently, they have revisited some of their earlier tracks, reflecting on their musical journey. Additionally, they established a Bandcamp page to distribute these tracks, allowing fans to delve into their musical evolution.
Featuring some of the top electronic music artists from Asia, the Foundations show presents a mix of genres such as House, Techno, Afro House, Organic House, Tech House, Melodic House, Arabica House, Melodic Techno, and more. Marco and Stefano use their show to highlight the rich talent and dynamic energy coming from the Asian electronic music scene.

Combining her ventures with two earlier club businesses, Shiva Lounge and Downtown, Jasmine Li has undeniably made an indelible mark on Shanghai's music landscape. Routinely touring across Asia and Europe, Jasmine has graced iconic events such as Elrow, Amsterdam Dance Event, A Summer Story, and Great Wall Festival, among many others, leaving an unforgettable imprint on the global electronic music scene.
