DJ Marco Mei presents his 2020 episode 27 show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Marco is an Italian Disc Jockey and producer with nearly three decades of experience at the time of this 2020 episode. He began DJing in Turin in 1991, after becoming absorbed in Afrocentric music and the emergence of electronic music during his teenage years.
During his formative years, Marco played throughout Italy and developed his approach through festivals and clubs in several countries. His appearances have included sets alongside Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon and Sander Kleinenberg.
A residency at Pacha Club in Sharm el-Sheikh at the beginning of the millennium marked an important stage in his international work. He subsequently played at Observatory in Saigon, Fuse in Brussels, CE' LA VI in Taipei, Shore Club in Hoi An, Bangaluu in Berlin, G-Star in Pattaya, Woo Bar in Bali and Global Dance Moscow.
In 2009, Marco formed a production partnership with Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884, and Bicycle Corporation was born. Their catalogue includes more than 50 productions and remixes across Deep House, Tech House, French House and Techno, with releases on Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, Suka and GrooveTraxx.
Based in Taipei, Marco works across a wider South East Asian network of clubs, events and electronic music activity. He is available for bookings through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency, while his weekly programme is broadcast through the station.
Marco Mei’s 2020 episode 27 show opens with Tim Deluxe featuring Ben Onono’s Choose Something Like A Star on Get Human, bringing Peak Time Techno into focus. Noizu follows with Summer 91 on Techne, moving into House Music, before Theo Kottis adds the Dance cut Never from Skint Records.
Alien Disco Sugar’s Love Affair on Digital Wax introduces Nu-Disco to the early sequence. Jerk Boy Frames’ Nicky Night Time Dance Version of Les Tropicool on Music To Dance To Records brings Disco into the mix, while Mala Ika’s Weirdos on Family N.A.M.E takes the set towards Indie Dance.
Jamie 326’s High Energy follows before Haska featuring Salif Keita appears with Ejeca’s Tribal Remix of Madan. Oscar G and Ralph Falcon featuring Intruder then bring U Got Me, followed by Chus Ceballos and Tedd Patterson’s Nick Curly Remix of In Stereo.
Loco Dice’s Believe In Me on En Couleur gives the middle stretch a Deep House emphasis. Mac Brown’s Mercury precedes Edu Imbernon’s Caliope on Siamese, which brings Melodic House and Techno into the programme.
Just Her’s Audiojack Remix of Fall From Grace leads into Hosh 1979 featuring Jalja’s MK Remix of Midnight (The Hanging Tree). The latter returns the show to House Music, before DJ Shadow featuring De La Soul’s Ten Ven Remix of Rocket Fuel provides a contrasting late-set selection.
Jessy Ware’s Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix of Save A Kiss closes the episode. The final remix gives Marco Mei’s selection a vocal-led finish after its route through club-focused electronic material.
