Marco Mei publishes playlist for 2021 Podcast 25

Episode 25 of the 2021 shows tracklist is now available from Marco Mei, broadcast on Saturday, the 19th of June, on Scientific Sound Asia. The station serves audiences across Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and beyond as an English-language electronic music radio station, DJ agency, music news outlet and events promoter.

Italy's Marco Mei has spent over three decades developing a sound rooted in afrobeat, funk and early synthesised music. Those influences shaped a DJ and producer whose selections have never been confined to a single genre or era.

His path took him from the Italian club circuit to a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm-El-Sheikh, which set the stage for an international career. 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 feature among the venues he has played. Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void are among those he has appeared alongside.

Bicycle Corporation, the project he runs with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, has been in motion since 2009. First signed to 17:44 Records, the duo's output now spans over fifty tracks and remixes on labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox. Their earliest recordings have been made available on Bandcamp for those wanting to go back to the beginning.

Marco is based in Taipei and has built a solid presence across South East Asia through years of regular appearances in the region. Find him on Facebook and book him through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 25 opens with Anja Schneider's All I See in the 2021 Edit, the track making another appearance across the series before JT Donaldson and Cpen's Take U Back in the DJ T. Edit develops a House Music and Deep House direction. James Curd's Say Less Not More featuring Bear Who in the Stefano Ritteri Remix and House Syndicate's Jam The Mace in Jerome Sydenham's Teknoid Rendition carry the set forward before Mano Le Tough's As If To Say shifts into a deeper and more melodic register.

Tini's What If, Then What featuring Amiture and DJ Tennis's Atlanta on Life and Death sustain the Tech House and Melodic House and Techno direction. Adana Twins's Alone and Famou$ After Dead's Do You Fuck To Get High carry the set through Melodic House and Techno and Electronica territory before Röyksopp's What Else Is There in the ARTBAT Remix arrives as one of the podcast's most distinctive selections.

The Norwegian duo's 2005 track is given a driving Melodic House and Techno reworking by the Ukrainian pair that connects the source material to the contemporary underground. Musumeci and Lehar's Bells Of Freedom makes another appearance across the series before Faithless's Insomnia 2021 in the Maceo Plex Epic Mix delivers the podcast's most recognisable moment.

The 1995 trance anthem recontextualised within a contemporary progressive framework connects the genre's foundational era to the present day. Morttagua and Ubbah's Blue Enigma featuring Eleonora in the Stereo Express Remix on Timeless Moment reinforces the Melodic House and Techno direction.

Described by Progressive Astronaut as a peak time powerhouse with hypnotic synths and driving percussion, it is one of the more substantial club tools in the podcast. Alinka's Round & Round returns before Phil Kieran's Scream and Acid Jerks's Monsters push the set into harder Tech House and Acid House territory.

Claude VonStroke's Flubblebuddy and Ammara's Acid Fantasy sustain the acid-inflected direction before Marcel Dettmann's Command on sspb018 arrives as the podcast's hardest and most driving Techno moment. Radio Slave's Live My Life and Spencer Parker's Radio Waves (After Dark) carry the set back through Minimal and Deep House territory before Confidential Recipe's What You Think and Nic Fanciulli's Werk (Move Your Body) sustain the House and Tech House direction.

S-Express's Theme From S-Express in the Disconet Edit closes the main body of the podcast, the 1988 Nu Disco and House classic given a contemporary edit that connects the podcast's various threads. Cola Boy's 7 Ways To Love in the Hot Tracks Remix rounds off the episode, the 1991 track's balearic and House qualities providing a warm and unhurried conclusion to one of Marco Mei's most genre-diverse podcasts.
