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 is broadcast 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, a track that made 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 edge alongside House Music rhythms.
Roberto Pagliaccia's When We Were Kids in the Audiojack Remix, released on Blackboard, takes the set into a deeper house register. Amberoom's Forces Of Nature in the Radio Slave Remix and Dannie Fade's Alive lead to Jerome Sydenham and Fatima Njai's Trans Afro Express in the Vocal Dub Mix on Rekids, which made a second appearance across consecutive podcasts and brings Afro House into the programme.
Hoochie Coochie Papa's Work Me Bod brings a Nu-Disco and Italo Disco moment, before Spencer Parker's Youreoneofakind on Trick shifts into a minimal Deep House register. M&S Presents The Girl Next Door's Salsoul Nugget in the Mark Knight Extended Remix on Tinted Records makes another appearance across the series, while Johannes Albert's Party Time! and Tilman's Got Something Special on FINE hold the house direction.
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 supplies a deeper, dub-inflected passage, before Michael The Lion's James Is The Message in the Jamie 326 and Danou P Remix brings Soulful House warmth and LPM's Just Do What You Do returns to a direct house register.
Kasper Bjørke's Running in the Eden Burns Remix introduces a Melodic House and Techno quality. Levantine's Light Darkens Upon Us in the Bonnie Spacey Remix and Colors in Waves's Vulture then take the programme through deeper Indie Dance territory.
Tomas Andersson's Washing Up in the Tiga Remix and Miss Kittin's Professional Distortion in the Technicism Rework push the late section towards an Electro-influenced Tech House feel. 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.
