Marco Mei publishes playlist for 2021 Podcast 23

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 23 of 2021, broadcast on Saturday the 5th of June. Scientific Sound Asia covers electronic music across Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and beyond as an English-language radio station, DJ agency and music news outlet and promoter.

Few Italian DJs can point to a career as varied as Marco Mei's. His introduction to music came through afrobeat and early synthesised sounds, and those roots have stayed with him through more than thirty years of DJing and production.

He got his start in Italy in the early 1990s before a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm-El-Sheikh broadened his reach. 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 are among the venues that followed.

Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void have all shared the booth with him at various points. Stay connected through his Facebook page for his latest releases and dates.

Bicycle Corporation, his ongoing project with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, came together in 2009 and was quickly signed to 17:44 Records. Labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox have hosted their output, which now runs to over fifty tracks and remixes across deep house, tech house, French house and techno. Their back catalogue is accessible via Bandcamp.

Taipei is his current home, and South East Asia has become an increasingly central part of his performing schedule. Bookings are handled through our DJ agency, and his weekly show continues on the Scientific Sound Asia radio station.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 23 opens with M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade's Body Language in the Cioz Remix on Get Physical, the track making another appearance across the Marco Mei podcast series. Brokenears and Robert Owens's On Its Way in the Supernova Remix follows before Joyce Muniz's Secret Obsession on LAGASTA adds a Tech House and House Music energy with punchy drums and driving rhythms.

Roberto Pagliaccia's When We Were Kids in the Audiojack Remix carries the set into Tech House territory. Amberoom's Forces Of Nature in the Radio Slave Remix and Dannie Fade's Alive follow before Jerome Sydenham and Fatima Njai's Trans Afro Express in the Vocal Dub Mix makes a second appearance across consecutive podcasts. The Afro House quality of that track sits naturally within the broader groove-led direction Marco Mei has established.

Hoochie Coochie Papa's Work Me Bod delivers a Nu Disco and Italo Disco moment before Spencer Parker's Youreoneofakind shifts into Minimal and Deep House territory. M&S Presents The Girl Next Door's Salsoul Nugget in the Mark Knight Extended Remix makes another appearance across the series. Johannes Albert's Party Time! sustains the House direction before Tilman's Got Something Special on FINE returns to a deeper and more minimal register.

Elvin T's Get Close and L'Atelier's Helene Françoise from Shag Edits Vol.8 on Roots For Bloom carry the set through House and Disco edit territory. Legacy Of Sound's Boy Don't Miss The Train in the Ballistic Dub provides a deeper and more dub-inflected moment. Michael The Lion's James Is The Message in the Jamie 326 and Danou P Remix then brings a Soulful House warmth before LPM's Just Do What You Do returns to a straightforward House register.

Kasper Bjørke's Running in the Eden Burns Remix introduces a Melodic House and Techno and Indie Dance quality. Levantine's Light Darkens Upon Us in the Bonnie Spacey Remix and Colors in Waves's Vulture carry the set through deeper and more electronic territory. Tomas Andersson's Washing Up in the Tiga Remix and Miss Kittin's Professional Distortion in the Technicism Rework then push the podcast towards Minimal and electro-influenced Tech House.

E.B.T.G.'s ODE reframes the Everything But The Girl track within a House context before JT Donaldson and Liv.e's Stay Inside in the Sandy Rivera Remix closes the episode with Soulful House warmth. Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 23 is a wide-ranging piece of programming that covers House, Deep House, Tech House and Afro House across a tracklist that moves between eras and sensibilities with its characteristic confidence.
