Marco Mei, the Italian DJ and producer behind Bicycle Corporation, returns with a new edition of his long-running radio show on Scientific Sound Asia. The station continues to operate as an important platform for underground electronic and urban music across Asia, connecting international audiences through radio broadcasts, live events and a global artist network.

With a career spanning more than three decades, Marco has developed a sound shaped by Afro-influenced rhythms, deep house foundations and forward-moving club energy. His instinctive understanding of the dancefloor, combined with a refined and experience-led musical approach, has earned him sustained respect across Europe, Asia and beyond.

His journey began in the early 1990s in Turin, where he became immersed in the city’s underground club culture. Drawn to house, techno and Afro-centric rhythms, he co-founded the Urban People collective, which played a formative role in Italy’s early electronic movement by organising forward-thinking events and club nights outside the mainstream.

A defining chapter followed with a residency at Pacha Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, expanding his international profile and opening the door to performances across a wide range of global venues. His touring history includes appearances at Woo Bar in Bali, The Mansion in Shanghai, Fuse in Brussels and The Observatory in Ho Chi Minh City, among others.

In 2009, Marco partnered with Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884, to form Bicycle Corporation. Together they have released more than fifty tracks and remixes across Deep House, Tech House, French House and Techno, appearing on labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, Suka and GrooveTraxx. Their output consistently balances club functionality with musical depth, earning steady support within the underground scene.

Now based in Taipei, Marco remains an active and influential presence within the region’s electronic music landscape. Through his ongoing radio work with Scientific Sound Asia, he channels decades of experience into carefully curated selections that respect club heritage while engaging with contemporary sounds. Each broadcast reflects his enduring connection to the dancefloor, reinforcing his role as a link between scenes, generations and global underground communities.

The opening section leans into classic House and Deep House foundations, with Jackin' A Box, Granulated Soul and Gotta Keep Tryin' setting a tone rooted in groove, swing and vocal-driven club music. These selections reflect a period when House was built around simple arrangements, strong basslines and repeated musical phrases.

As the mix develops, Disco House and Soulful House come into focus. Tracks such as Clap Ya Hands, It's A Love Thang, and What You Need highlight the influence of disco songwriting and gospel-leaning vocals, while edits and remixes retain the original warmth and rhythmic intent of their source material.

The middle stretch moves through Garage House and Acid House territory, where Work, We Can Make It and Keep On Dancin' emphasise stripped-back drums, raw synthesis and call-and-response vocals. These tracks underline the crossover between US garage, Chicago house and early club culture.

The closing selections return to classic House with subtle modern touches. Tracks like Use Me Again, Keep On Running, and Funky Fresh round out the episode with a timeless approach, reinforcing the enduring structure of House music and Marco Mei’s long-standing connection to its roots.
