Marco Mei announces playlist for 2021 Podcast 19

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 19 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 with over thirty years of experience, whose entry into music came through afrobeat and early synthesised sounds. He began DJing professionally in Italy in the early 1990s and has since built a career spanning clubs and festivals across multiple continents.

A residency at Pacha Club in Sharm-El-Sheikh provided an early international platform. The years that followed brought appearances at 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 over the course of his career. His latest activity is posted regularly on Facebook.

Bicycle Corporation, the production project he runs with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, has been active since 2009. Signed initially to 17:44 Records, the duo has placed over fifty tracks and remixes on labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox, spanning deep house, tech house, French house and techno. Their earliest recordings are now available through their Bandcamp page.

Taipei remains his base, and regular appearances there have kept him embedded in a growing network of artists across South East Asia. He is available for bookings through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency and presents a weekly show on our radio station.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 19 opens with DJ Fast Eddie's Yo Yo Get Funky in the Maslow Unknown Edit, the Chicago House Music pioneer's track delivering a Jackin House energy that sets the tone immediately. Ten City's That's The Way Love Is in the Louie Vega Extended Mix follows, the gospel-inflected Soulful House warmth of that collaboration sitting naturally alongside Honey Dijon, Annette Bowen and Nikki's Downtown in the Louie Vega Extended Raw Dub Mix, the latter appearing again in a different form from the previous podcast.

Hot Since 82 and Miss Kittin's Naboo in the Nick Curly and Jansons Remix shifts the set into Tech House territory before Oreason's Light Speed on Looking Back Records brings a Deep House warmth. Matthias Heilbronn and Monique Bingham's Something in Mousse T's Funky Shizzle Mix on Peppermint Jam Records sustains the Soulful House direction before Jungle's Keep Moving in The Blessed Madonna Remix introduces a Nu Disco quality.

Pisti's The Acienda and The Dukes's Ready For Love carry the set through House and Nu Disco territory before Sandy B's Ain't No Need To Hide in the Sam Divine Extended Mix delivers another Soulful House moment. Bernardo Mota's Madness Vs Lisa Boray Disco Mashup on Y4 Collective and Perfume Genius's Your Body Changes Everything in the Boy Harsher Remix provide two contrasting moments, the latter's dark electronic character sitting at a deliberate remove from the warmer selections surrounding it.

Muttonheads's To You brings a French House and Nu Disco flavour before Daft Punk's Harder Better Faster Stronger in the Thurman Edit reframes the 2001 French house classic within a contemporary Nu Disco context. Rebuke's Along Came Polly in the Behst Edit and Alinka's Rhythm Sister push back into Tech House and Minimal territory before Bultrago's No Signal introduces a Progressive House quality. Joseph Capriati's Goa in the Carl Cox Deeper Remix on Redimension then arrives as the podcast's hardest moment, the Italian Techno artist's track given a deeper reworking by Carl Cox that connects two of the genre's most prominent figures.

Recondite's Secluded and Charlotte De Witte's Remember carry the set through Minimal and Techno territory before Andrea Oliva's The Repeater returns to Tech House. An unknown artist's I Need 2 Dance from 1999 arrives as a classic House moment before D.C. LaRue's Cathedrals in the Jamie 3:26 Extended Disco Dub Version makes a second appearance across the Marco Mei podcast series.

Brokenears and Robert Owens's On Its Way provides a Soulful House closing before DJ Falcon and Thomas Bangalter's Together in the Dekova Rework 2021 closes the episode on a Nu Disco note. The inclusion of Bangalter outside the Daft Punk context is a notable programming choice, the French producer's solo collaboration with DJ Falcon given a contemporary reworking that connects Podcast 19's various French House and Nu Disco threads.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 19 is one of the more eclectic episodes in the series, moving between Jackin House, Soulful House, Nu Disco and Techno across a tracklist that covers multiple eras and scenes with characteristic confidence.
