Marco Mei publishes his playlist for 2021 Podcast 32

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 32 of 2021, originally broadcast on Saturday the 7th of August. 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.

Thirty years into a career that began in Italy in the early 1990s, Marco Mei continues to draw from a wider pool than most. Afrobeat, funk and early synthesised music were the entry points, and that foundation has fed into everything he has done as a DJ and producer since.

The Pacha Club residency in Sharm-El-Sheikh was an early catalyst for an international career that has taken in 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. Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void number among those he has appeared alongside over the years.

Bicycle Corporation, the production alliance he has run with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, since 2009, found its first home at 17:44 Records. Labels including Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox have since hosted a catalogue that runs to over fifty tracks and remixes. The duo's earliest work is preserved and available on Bandcamp.

Marco is based in Taipei and remains active across South East Asia, where his network of artists and collaborators continues to grow. Find him on Facebook and book him through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 32 opens with You and Aikon's Rain on Disco Halal, the label's Organic House and World Music sensibility establishing a warm and unhurried tone. Super Flu and Angelov's Diva Halle on Monaberry and Mollono.Bass and Marc Vogler's Unforgettable Times on 3000 Grad carry the set through Deep House and Progressive House territory before Adriatique's Trance Lesson on Afterlife shifts the register into Melodic House and Techno.

Jimmy Blanche's Tambou La Ti Bois La in the Pardonnez Nous Remix on Sima Records delivers an Afro House and World Music moment before Bez (UK) and Doorly's Flying Bus featuring Firouzeh and Kasper Bjørke's Baybi in the Roman Flügel Remix on HFN Music carry the set through Tech House and Deep House territory. Millero's Too Far Gone in the Musumeci and Dodi Palese Remix on Engrave Ltd returns the podcast to Melodic House and Techno before Be Like Butter and Enzo Siffredi's Ode To Omar sustains the deeper direction.

Rüfüs Du Sol's Alive in the Solomun Remix arrives as the podcast's most recognisable selection, the Australian trio's track given a driving Melodic House and Techno reworking that became one of the defining remix moments of 2021. O.N.O's Gran Music on Exploited and Soul Campbell's Universum on Ten One Records carry the set back through Tech House and Deep House territory before PBR Streetgang's Montego introduces a House Music and Nu Disco warmth.

Omar S and Aaron Fit Siegel's Tonite featuring Lrenee in the Detroit Mix on FXHE then delivers one of the podcast's most culturally grounded moments. Omar S's FXHE label is one of Detroit's most uncompromising underground imprints, and the track's Detroit House quality connects the podcast directly to the Motor City's foundational electronic music legacy.

Ralphi Rosario's All Right Now! and Obskür's Mr. Whippys Disco Weapon follow, the latter's Nu Disco energy providing a lighter contrast before Secondcity's Tomorrow's World and Beth Lydi's Pull Through in the Nathan Barato Remix on Plump Records carry the set through Tech House.

Obskür's Bayside returns for another appearance across the series before Tommier Joyson's Clap Your Hands on Hot Creations delivers a Jackin House moment consistent with the label's dancefloor-focused identity.

Junior Sanchez's Nobody Bring U Down on Nothing Else Matters and Adapter's Celebrate close the episode on a House and Nu Disco note. Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 32 is a wide-ranging episode that covers Tech House, Organic House, Melodic House and Techno, Afro House and Detroit House across a tracklist that draws from labels as varied as Disco Halal, Afterlife, FXHE and Hot Creations throughout.
