Marco Mei presents his 1st August 2020 mix, episode 30, on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform serving India, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and the wider region, with an international audience.
Marco is an Italian DJ and producer with nearly three decades of experience. In his early teens, he became absorbed in Afrobeat, Reggae, Funk, Disco, early Hip Hop and the emergence of electronic music.
He began his career as a disc jockey in the early 1990s and performed throughout Italy during his formative years. His work at festivals and clubs around the world led to sets alongside Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon and Sander Kleinenberg.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Marco secured a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. As his profile grew, he played venues including Observatory in Saigon, Fuse in Brussels, CE' LA VI in Taipei, Shore Club in Hoi An, Bangaluu in Berlin, G-Star in Pattaya, Woobar in Bali and Global Dance Moscow, as well as many others.
In 2009, Marco formed a production duo with Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884, and Bicycle Corporation was born. Their combined studio work has produced more than 50 tracks and remixes, which have been well received within the House Music circuit.
Marco moved to Taipei, Taiwan, in 2010 and plays regular events across the capital. Before the 2020 lockdown, he travelled extensively through Asia and Eastern Europe for club and venue appearances.
He is a regular artist on the station, broadcasting a weekly show and drawing on a broad selection of Deep House, Tech House, Afro House, Melodic Techno, Nu-Disco, Indie Dance, Electronica and Techno. Based in Taipei, Marco works across a wider South East Asian network and is available for international bookings through the agency.
Marco Mei’s 1st August 2020 episode 30 mix opens with Loni Clark’s Rushing in the Mood II Swing Dub Harry Romero edit, a Deep House selection on Nervous Old Skool. Lifelike and Alex Rossi’s Italo Amour in the Musumeci edit follows on Future Disco with a Nu-Disco touch, while Nick Holder’s Cruising On Queen returns to Deep House through DNH Records.
Phonique and Jean Bacarreza bring Do U Piano on Superfett Records into House Music, before Alex Virgo’s Let It Run arrives on Pets Recordings. Alan Dixon’s Acid Drop on Running Back introduces Indie Dance, and Virgo’s Somewhere Else follows on Pets Recordings with Tech House energy.
Eelke Kleijn’s Woodstock in the Gerd Janson Tent 7 remix gives Armada Electronic Elements an Indie Dance entry, before The Killers’ Mr. Brightside appears in the Zeskullz remix. Nicolosi Family featuring Eumir Deodato then bring Call Me Mr. Telephone in the Tiger Woods House Mix to the programme on Phone Call.
Levantine’s Together on Pornogroove Recordings adds Funky House to the middle section. H.A.N.Z. and Siemion’s I’ve Got It on Holy Disks, the Nicolosi Family’s second Call Me Mr Telephone on Phone Call and Indigo Jung’s Aldi on Sprechen keep the set rooted in House Music.
Y Do I’s Join The Tribe on Food Porn Music introduces Organic House before The Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition appears in the Ikarius remix on UPPERGROUND. That remix brings Melodic House and Techno into the late stretch of the episode.
MGMT’s Time provides the penultimate selection. Mark Blair featuring Eurythmics closes with Sweet Acid Dreams, giving the mix a final acid-tinged finish.
