Marco Mei announces playlist for new show 27th February 2021

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 9 of 2021, broadcast on Saturday the 27th of February. 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.

With over thirty years behind him as a DJ and producer, Marco Mei has built a career that stretches from the early Italian club scene to venues and festivals across four continents. His musical foundations in afrobeat, funk and early synthesised music have never strayed far from his selections, regardless of how far his circuit has expanded.

The international phase of his career took shape through a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm-El-Sheikh, which opened doors to a wider touring schedule. Clubs including 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 followed, with artists including Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void among those he has shared the booth with.

In 2009 he launched Bicycle Corporation alongside Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, a project that landed with 17:44 Records and quickly accumulated releases on Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox. The catalogue now runs to over fifty tracks and remixes across deep house, tech house, French house and techno, with backing from Dubfire, Axwell, Danny Tenaglia, Mauro Picotto and Above and Beyond.

Taipei has been his home base for a number of years, and his Ciao Taipei party has been a consistent fixture in the city's underground since 2013, broadening his connections across South East Asia in the process. Bookings are available through the Scientific Sound Asia radio station and DJ agency, and his latest activity can be followed on Facebook.

Marco Mei's show from 27th February 2021 opens with Nez and ScHoolboy Q's Wild Youngster in the Jamie Jones Remix, the Tech House energy of that selection establishing the show's dancefloor intent from the outset. Paranoid London's Eating Glue follows, the duo's raw, acid-inflected House Music sound providing a stripped-back contrast before Paolo Martini's Electric Soul and Felix Leiter and Ben Rainey's Good Times develop the groove-led mid-tempo direction.

Andre Le Phunk and Maiya Sykes's Back To My Love in the KPD Remix delivers the set's first Soulful House moment before Maxinne and MOYA's In The Groove returns to a more straightforward House register. Moreno Pezzolato's Bring Me Up and Sllash and Doppe's Pepper Shaker push back towards Tech House before Dennis Beutler and Kuestenklatsch's The Way introduces a Deep House quality.

Katiahshe and Jacob Colon's Don't Stop with Oscar G's saxophone adds a Jackin House flavour before Ministers De La Funk and Jocelyn Brown's Believe in the Madd Gee and DJ Antonio Afro House Remix makes its second appearance across the Marco Mei series in consecutive weeks.

Jansons's Heartbreaker on Revival New York and DJ W!LD's Take A Trip in Radio Slave's Gotta Get Up Remix sustain the Tech House direction before Deetron's Dr. Melonball on Nu Groove arrives as one of the more considered selections of the show, the Swiss producer's House credentials dating back to his early releases on labels including Intec and Clone.

Obskur's Bayside in the 10 Years Of Eats Everything Extended Remix and Nicole Moudaber and Eats Everything's Big Dipper on MOOD form a natural pairing, the latter a Danny Howard Lockdown Link-Up collaboration that brought two of electronic music's more eclectic figures together for one of the more high-energy moments of the set. Makeup's Koke in the Nico Lahs Edit and Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers's Play In The Dark carry the set through its mid-section before Tumblack's Caraiba in the Felipe Gordon Edit introduces an Afro House and Deep House warmth.

Walterino and Jamie Lewis's Cosmic Funk in The Dukes Main Mix and Freitobar's Island in the Sun shift the mood towards Nu Disco and Balearic territory before Rockets's Galactica in the Ladies On Mars Remix sustains the lighter, more melodic direction. Filta Freqz's Masta Blasta in the Gettoblaster Remix and James Curd and Gettoblaster's Keep It High place the Chicago producer in back-to-back positions in the closing stretch, giving the set's final third a focused and groove-driven identity.

Soul Avengerz featuring Krysten Cummings's Respect in the Wayne Soul Avengerz and Odyssey Inc. Remix closes the episode on a Soulful House note, rounding off a show that covered Tech House, House, Nu Disco and Afro House across a wide-ranging and energetic tracklist. Marco Mei's 27th February 2021 broadcast is one of the more consistently dancefloor-focused episodes in the series so far.
