Marco Mei presents his December 2020 radio show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates across Asia and internationally as an electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform, with activity connecting audiences in India, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and elsewhere.
With nearly three decades of experience, Marco is an Italian DJ and producer whose early musical interests included Afrobeat, Reggae, Funk, Disco, early Hip Hop and electronic music. He began DJing in the early 1990s, playing venues across Italy and developing his craft through festivals and clubs around the world.
Those appearances included sets alongside Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon and Sander Kleinenberg. A residency at Pacha Club in Sharm el-Sheikh during the early 2000s marked an important stage in his international career.
As his touring schedule expanded, Marco played venues including OBS 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. These dates placed him before club audiences in Europe and Asia.
In 2009, Marco joined Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884, to form the production partnership Bicycle Corporation. Together, they have made more than 50 tracks and remixes.
Their work received recognition within the house scene. Marco moved to Taipei in the early 2010s and has regularly performed at clubs and venues across the city.
Marco's weekly programme ranges through Deep House, Tech House, Afro House, Melodic Techno, Nu-Disco, Indie Dance, Electronica and Techno. His selections draw on the club-focused approach developed across his Italian background, international appearances and studio work.
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 show is broadcast through its radio station.
Marco Mei opens the December 2020 selection with DJ Hell's House Music on The DJ Hell Experience, establishing an immediate House Music foundation. Nic Joseph's Closer on Too Many Rules and Hard Drive Library's Back 2 Rhythm on Hard Drive Library keep the opening focused on that club framework.
Fiorious brings Follow Me in Harry Romero's Club Dub on Defected, followed by Barbara Tucker's Floorplan remix of Beautiful People for Strictly Rhythm Records and Karma Kid's Freedom (Never Let You Go) on Greco-Roman. Uncle Knows then tightens the rhythm with Feel It on floor 13, introducing Tech House, before Tyree Cooper's Julian Jumpin Perez mix of Turn Up The Bass on FFRR adds Hip-House.
Pirupa's Party Non-Stop leads into Purple Disco Machine and Mind Enterprises' Exotica on Sweat It Out, where the programme turns towards Nu-Disco. Panthera Krause's Road To Arcadia on Riotvan brings in Indie Dance, while Soulwax's Tigas Disco Drama remix of E Talking on [PIAS] Recordings returns the set to Tech House.
Tall Paul's Voodoo Ray on Dos Or Die Records restores the House Music pulse before Ejeca's Make Me on Shall Not Fade raises the pressure with Peak Time Techno. Ghettoblaster and Bad Boy Bill's Lovely Day then precedes SeeMeNot's Borderline on Defected and Fela Kuti's Armonica Moblack extended mix of International Thief Thief (I.T.T.), bringing Afro House into the late section.
Roland Leesker and Marvin Jam's Crazy on Get Physical Music gives way to Machinegewehr's Human Visage on RITMO FATALE, returning the programme to Indie Dance. Jarle Bråthen and Hard Ton's Prins Thomas Diskomiks of Clap Your Hands, followed by Body Control from Hot Since 82 and Jamie Jones featuring Boy George, sets up Matthias Tanzmann and Black Circle's Masina before Shermanology's Solardo remix of Pop That on Sola brings back Tech House.
Truncate and Catz N' Dogz close the recognised final run with Never Stop on Pets Recordings, bringing Techno into focus. Fatima Yamaha's Yotto edit of What's A Girl To Do provides the last selection, ending the programme with an electronic club tone that reaches back to Marco's varied influences.
