DJ Marco Mei presents his 11th show of 2020 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Marco, an Italian DJ and producer began his musical journey in his teens with Afrocentric music and the emergence of electronic music. In the early 1990s, he began his career as a DJ after developing almost three decades of experience by the time of this broadcast.
During his early years, Marco toured extensively throughout Italy before appearing at festivals and clubs worldwide. He shared the decks with Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon and Sander Kleinenberg.
With the arrival of the new millennium, Marco secured a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm-El-Sheikh, which led to performances at 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. These appearances brought his work to clubs in Europe and Asia alongside established figures from the electronic music scene.
In 2009, Marco teamed up with Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884, to form the production duo Bicycle Corporation. Together, they have released more than 50 tracks and remixes and have received recognition within the electronic music community.
Marco moved to Taipei, Taiwan, at the start of the last decade and is a regular performer at events throughout the capital. He is also part of the Scientific Sound Asia radio roster, with bookings available through the DJ agency.
His weekly show presents Deep House, Tech House, Afro House, Melodic Techno, Nu-Disco, Indie Dance, Electronica and Techno. This March 2020 selection moves through club-focused material from Agoria, Jerome Sydenham, Solomun, Josh Wink and Alan Fitzpatrick.
Marco Mei's 2020 show 11 episode opens with Agoria’s Wish Me Luck in the FNX Omar remix, followed by Jerome Sydenham featuring Blue Mondays on the Soulphiction remix of Everything. Solomun’s Love Recycled 1 then gives the opening run a further disco-informed reference before the set settles into its club rhythm.
Yuksek’s I Don’t Have A Drum Machine on Classic Music Company establishes a direct House Music feel, while Kapote’s Grandmaster Edit on Toy Tonics brings in Disco. Ivan Dbri follows with Breakfast in New York on House Cookin Records, adding a measured Deep House turn.
East End Dubs keeps the momentum close to house with Sing, released through his own label, before Ekkah’s Alan Dixon remix of Giving Up On arrives via Future Disco in a Nu-Disco register. Nicky Hunter’s Underground Evolution Dub of Infatuation on ZYX and Nice Girl’s Take A Step on Public Possession maintain the rhythm without breaking the set’s steady pace.
M.A.N.D.Y.’s Pete Tong remix of Tonite leads into Winx and Josh Wink’s Harry Romero edit of How’s The Music, giving the middle section a more forceful club focus. Josh Wink and Lil’ Louis follow with the Chris Lake Extended Remix of How’s Your Evening So Far, before Claptone and Mylo bring in Drop The Pressure.
Fideles shifts the later sequence with Brain Machine on Correspondant, introducing an Indie Dance edge. Iglesias and Ben Cheel’s Cerda on Resonance Records moves into Tech House, followed by D.M.S. on Let Me Tell You Something and Uncle Knows with Higher.
Alan Fitzpatrick and Patrice Rushen close the programme with the Fully Charged Mix of Haven’t You Heard on FFRR. The final record brings the selection back to an energetic house finish after its movement through disco, deeper grooves and tougher club material.
