Marco Mei announces playlist for 2021 Podcast 17

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 17 of 2021. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station, DJ agency, music news outlet and events promoter covering electronic music across Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and beyond.

Marco Mei is an Italian DJ and producer who has been active for over thirty years, with a background in afrobeat and early synthesised music that set the tone for a career spanning clubs and festivals across the globe. He took his first steps behind the decks in Italy in the early 1990s, and the breadth of those early influences has kept his sound from settling into a predictable pattern.

The Pacha Club residency in Sharm-El-Sheikh was a career-defining step, unlocking a touring circuit that brought him to Woo Bar, Fuse in Brussels, Room 18 in Taipei, Bangaluu in Berlin, G-Star in Pattaya, SOS Supper Club in Bali and NLO in Minsk. He has appeared alongside Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void, and keeps his audience updated on Facebook.

Bicycle Corporation, formed with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, in 2009, gave his studio work a dedicated platform through 17:44 Records. Output across Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox has grown to over fifty tracks and remixes spanning deep house, tech house, French house and techno, with the duo recently making their earliest recordings available on Bandcamp.

Taipei remains his home base, and regular appearances across the region have helped build a network of artists and collaborators throughout South East Asia. He is available for bookings through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency and does a weekly broadcast on our radio station.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 17 opens with Paris Brightledge and K'Alexi Shelby's I See Your Face in the Hula Mahone Remix on Clone Club Series, the Chicago vocalist's classic House Music sensibility grounding the podcast in the genre's foundational history from the outset. D.C. LaRue's Cathedrals in the Jamie 3:26 Extended Disco Dub Version on Faith follows, the 1976 American Disco classic recontextualised here in a contemporary Ballroom-inflected rework that sits with surprising ease alongside the surrounding House selections.

Parallells and Abundance's Blooming Flower in the Blondish Remix and Daniel Rateuke and Awen's Gold in the Manoo Remix shift the set into Deep House territory before Howling's Bind in the Rampa Remix and Timmy Regisford Edit introduce an Organic House quality. Jan Blomqvist, Alar and Korolova's Time Again on Get Physical brings a Melodic House and Techno warmth before Absolute.'s Sage Comme Une Image and Rocket Pengwin's Alone in the Funkybeat Remix carry the set through a Nu Disco and House mid-section.

Fred Again and The Blessed Madonna's Marea (We've Lost Dancing) makes another appearance across the series before Kim Anh's Make Me Feel and Marcel Vogel and Tim Jules's Just Because featuring Javonntte sustain the Soulful House direction. Demuir and Bluey Robinson's Lusting U and Mallin's Off My Mind carry the set through a deeper stretch before Missy Elliott's Get Ur Freak On in the Yahzi X Zen Edit arrives as one of the more unexpected programming choices in the podcast, the 2001 hip hop track reframed within a House context.

Snips and Pauline Taylor's Say It and Chemise's She Can't Love You in the Purple Disco Machine Re Edit sustain the vocal-led, Nu Disco and Soulful House direction before Nicole Moudaber's I Love brings a Tech House and Deep House quality. Franky Rizardo and Joe Goddard's No Judgement in the Kölsch Remix introduces a Melodic House and Techno character before Dunmore Brothers and Ayaba Poetic's Step Closer makes another appearance across the series.

Johannes Albert's Cowbell Retreat and Jansons and Dope Earth Alien's Medicine carry the podcast towards its close, the latter's Tech House energy providing a dancefloor-focused penultimate selection before Flashmob's Closer rounds off a podcast that balanced Soulful House warmth, Deep House depth and Tech House energy throughout.
