DJ Marco Mei presents his 2020 show 10 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music-news platform working across India, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia and the wider Asian region.
Marco Mei is an experienced Italian DJ and producer with close to three decades of experience. During his teenage years, he developed musical preferences shaped by Afrocentric and electronic music, beginning his DJ career in the early 1990s.
He first performed at events throughout Italy before appearing at festivals and clubs internationally. These bookings included sets alongside Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon and Sander Kleinenberg.
In the early 2000s, Marco secured a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm el-Sheikh. It led to appearances at nightclubs including Arcan in Saigon, Fuse in Brussels, Room 18 in Taipei, Shore Club in Hoi An, Bangaluu in Berlin, G-Star in Pattaya, SOS Supper Club in Bali and NLO in Minsk, where he also shared the stage with legendary DJs.
By the end of the 2000s, Marco teamed up with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, to create Bicycle Corporation. Their collaboration has produced more than 50 tracks and remixes that have been well received within the underground music scene.
Marco made Taipei, Taiwan, his home at the beginning of the 2010s and performs at events across the city. He is one of the DJs and producers featured on Scientific Sound Asia’s online radio station.
His weekly show spans Deep House, Tech House, Afro House, Melodic House and Techno, Nu-Disco, Indie Dance, Electronica and Techno. For bookings, he can be contacted through the DJ agency.
Marco Mei’s 2020 show 10 episode opens with Mano Negra and Made In TLV’s Sueño De Solentiname in the Rampa version, a Deep House release on Keinemusik. Todd Terry Project’s Da Bango follows on Inhouse as a DJ Tools / Acapellas entry, before Butch’s No Worries brings House Music through Cécille.
Gabrielle’s Dreams in the Red Underground Mix introduces an R&B vocal element. Armand Van Helden’s Give Me Your Loving, released through Parametric, returns the set to House Music.
Warung’s Illusive on Street Tracks shifts the programme towards Breaks. Blancah’s Walk In Clouds in Fur Coat’s remix and Elfenberg’s Timboletti remix of Gilgamesh then develop the Melodic House and Techno section through Renaissance Music and ALOADED.
Auntie Flo’s Nicola Cruz remix of Kabsa on Disco Halal introduces Indie Dance, followed by Marc DePulse’s Exe.cute on Diynamic. Musumeci’s Pawn Storm on Innervisions extends that Indie Dance passage with a darker club focus.
Nina Simone’s Luciano remix of Sinnerman, issued by Universal Music Enterprises, brings a Dance Music turn to the later section. Ilario Alicante’s Vacaciones En Chile in the 2000 And One, Lauhaus and Kabale Und Liebe remix follows on Tenax Recordings with a Minimal approach.
Dennis Ferrer’s Hugo Cantarra extended remix of Hey Hey arrives via Defected, bringing Afro House into the closing run. Russenmafia’s Pull in the Solid Sleep remix adds Trance (Main Floor), before Second Phase closes with Mentasm on R&S Records and Peak Time Techno.
