Marco Mei publishes a playlist for 2021 Podcast 24

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 24 of 2021, broadcast on Saturday, the 12th of June. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station, DJ agency, music news outlet and events promoter serving audiences across Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and beyond.

Marco Mei is an Italian DJ and producer whose thirty-year career grew from a genuine passion for afrobeat, funk and early synthesised music. That background gave him a selectorial instinct that has carried through every phase of his work since he first stepped behind the decks in Italy in the early 1990s.

The Pacha Club residency in Sharm-El-Sheikh was the moment his career shifted to a truly international footing. A circuit that included 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 Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void among his booth partners over the years.

Bicycle Corporation, the project he launched with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, in 2009, gave his studio work a focused platform through 17:44 Records. Releases on Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox have built a body of work exceeding fifty tracks and remixes. The duo's earliest material is now available to explore on Bandcamp.

His Facebook page keeps his audience updated on new releases and upcoming dates. Based in Taipei, he plays regularly across Southeast Asia and is available for bookings through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 24 opens with Raw Silk's Do It To The Music in the Absolute. Feelin 98 Remix, the Nu Disco and House energy of that track setting a warm and groove-led tone. Holo's In My Dreams makes another appearance across the Marco Mei series before Kim Anh's Shadows in the Eli Escobar Remix sustains the House direction.

Midnight Magic's Beam Me Up in the Perel Remix then introduces a Nu Disco and Electronica quality before Flava D's All We Ever Do featuring DRS and Paige Eliza arrives as the podcast's most unexpected selection. The Southampton-based producer's Liquid Drum and Bass track is an unusual inclusion in the Marco Mei format and its BPM and atmosphere sit at a clear remove from the surrounding House selections.

Atchoum and Grincheux's En Quelque Soorts on Little Family Records brings a Balearic and House quality before Joe Lewandowski's Let's Take Another Break and Bulgakov's Navsegda shift the set into Deep House and Minimal territory. Roland Clark's All My Friends delivers a House Music and Soulful moment before Ejeca's Free From in the Cinthie Remix makes another appearance across the series.

Yen Sung and Photonz's Still and Supernova's If I Tell You carry the set through Minimal and Nu Disco territory before Alan Fitzpatrick and Lawrence Hart's Warning Signs on Anjunadeep introduce a Melodic House and Techno quality. Booka Shade's Essential Chrome on Get Physical sustains the Melodic House and Techno direction.

Dixon's edit of Deichkind's Autonom arrives as one of the podcast's more unexpected programming choices; the Innervisions label boss's Minimal approach to the German hip hop and electro group's track strips it back considerably from its original form. Rhode and Brown's Wave 200 and Musumeci and Enzo Elia's The More I Feel featuring Stefano Proietti carry the set forward before Musumeci and Lehar's Bells Of Freedom sustains the Melodic House and Techno direction across two consecutive Musumeci selections.

Nick Curly's Jaaron in the Matthias Meyer Remix and Rampa's The Church carry the podcast into a deeper and more Minimal stretch. Evan Duthie's Wezen and TNTS's After The Rain in the Oscar Aguilera and Vikthor Remix on HE-ART Blue sustain the Melodic House and Techno direction before Alinka's Round & Round brings a House and Tech House energy.

Disruptive Pattern Material's Necessary in the Terrence Parker Remix on Transmat closes the episode on a Soulful House and Detroit House note, the Detroit producer's gospel-inflected approach giving the podcast a warm and considered conclusion. Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 24 is a wide-ranging episode that moves between Melodic House and Techno, Deep House, Nu Disco and Minimal across a tracklist that covers considerable genre ground while maintaining a consistent sense of quality and intent throughout.
