Marco Mei publishes the playlist for 2021 Podcast 34

Marco Mei has published the tracklist for episode 34 of 2021, originally broadcast on Saturday the 21st of August. Scientific Sound Asia is an online Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, music news outlet and promoter serving Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka and the wider region with an international following.

Italian DJ and producer Marco Mei has been active for over thirty years, with a background in afrobeat, funk and early synthesised music that has shaped his approach to selection throughout his career. He started out in Italy in the early 1990s and has since built a presence across clubs and festivals on multiple continents.

A residency at Pacha Club in Sharm-El-Sheikh marked the point at which his career went beyond Italy. 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, alongside appearances with Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon, Sander Kleinenberg, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Justin Berkmann and Funk D'Void.

Bicycle Corporation, the project he launched with Stefano Ugliano, known as 6884, in 2009, has placed output across 17:44 Records, Alchemy, Miniatures, WL77, GrooveTraxx, Suka and Revox, accumulating over fifty tracks and remixes across deep house, tech house, French house and techno. Their archive is available through Bandcamp, and Marco's latest news is on Facebook.

Taipei is his current base, and South East Asia has become an increasingly significant part of his performing circuit. Bookings are handled through the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency.

Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 34 opens with Disclosure's Happening setting a warm House Music tone before Joaquin Joe Claussell's The House Is Ours delivers a Soulful House and spiritual depth rooted in the New York Body & Soul tradition. Spiritual Emphasi's The Spirit and Otherlover's Love I Need carry the set through Deep House territory before Paul Johnson contributes two consecutive Chicago House selections, Burnin For Your Yearnin and Hear The Music, the West Side producer's presence connecting the podcast directly to the genre's foundational city.

PSTW's Fixation in the Jerome Sydenham Remix and DJ T.'s Patci carry the set into Deep House and Minimal territory before Kasper Bjørke's Baybi in the Roman Flügel Remix returns from an earlier podcast. Aerobica's Amor Suave and Giorgia Angiuli's All The Little Things in the Undercatt Remix introduce Nu Disco and Melodic House and Techno qualities before Luca Maniaci's Experience and Seed Selector and Giorgio Menegatti's Desaceleração on Warung Recordings carry the set through Deep House and Brazilian House territory.

Themba and Thakzin's Sound Of Freedom in the Damian Lazarus Extended Re-Shape then delivers an Afro House moment before Match Box's Mutation Gamble shifts the register into harder Techno and Minimal territory. Millero's Too Far Gone in the Musumeci and Dodi Palese Remix returns from an earlier podcast before Winx's How's The Music delivers a Classic House moment.

Grass Green's Lonely Tribe on Grass Green Records and Robotman's Do Da Doo in Plastikman's Acid House Remix carry the set through Minimal and Acid House territory, the latter a notable inclusion from Richie Hawtin's early Acid House alter ego. F.U.S.E.'s F.U. continues the harder Techno direction before Blank Gloss's Strewn All Over on Kompakt sustains the Minimal quality. Tryezz's Later Frequencies returns from the previous podcast before Baltra's Wings Like Doves introduces a deeper and more melodic register.

Bang The Party's Bang Bang You're Mine and Beep Dee's From Above carry the set through Classic House and Deep House territory before Blake Baxter's Our Luv delivers a Detroit House moment. Blake Baxter's first-wave Detroit credentials connect the podcast to the Motor City's earliest electronic music output, his presence here sitting in instructive contrast to the more contemporary selections on either side of it.

Bombay Traffic's Boogie 3000 in Sven Tasnadi's Acid Twist makes another appearance before Bruise's Joy and Deichkind's Autonom in the Dixon Edit on CircoLoco Records close the episode on a Minimal and Deep House note. Marco Mei's 2021 Podcast 34 is a wide-ranging episode that covers Deep House, Chicago House, Detroit House, Minimal and Acid House across one of the more historically grounded tracklists in the series.
