His weekly radio show spans Deep House, Tech House, Afro House, Melodic Techno, Nu-Disco, Indie Dance, Electronica and Techno. He is available for bookings through the DJ agency.

Marco Mei's 2019 podcast 34 episode opens with Hanna’s I Needed on Melodies International and Carlo’s Perfect Plan on Classic, establishing a direct House Music foundation. Floorplan’s There Was A Time on Aus Music and Scan 7’s Chuuch on Transmat keep that opening section focused on club rhythm.
Taana Gardner’s Work That Body on West End Records brings in Nu-Disco, before Ejeca’s Pushed in the Bicep Remix on Tusk Wax adds an ICE HOUSE entry. Depeche Mode’s World In My Eyes in the Baunder Edit, released through Legacy Recordings, introduces a Dance Music turn through a familiar vocal reference.
Goom Gum’s It’s A Lot on Columbia/B1 Recordings returns to Nu-Disco, while Krystal Klear’s Entre Nous on Running Back shifts the programme towards Indie Dance. TERR’s Energy Sync on Phantasy Sound extends that section before Joeski’s Acid Disco on Relief introduces Tech House.
Alisha’s Existence on Nothing Else Matters keeps the Tech House pressure in place after the middle of the mix. Andras then brings a more spacious Deep House mood with Jingo on Public Possession.
Jaydee’s Plastic Dreams in Nicole Moudaber’s Renaissance Remix moves into Melodic House and Techno through Renaissance Music. Davi follows with Lie Machine on Crosstown Rebels, bringing an Afro House accent to the late sequence.
Curses’ Back For More on Critical Monday returns the selection to Indie Dance before the final run. Davina closes with Don’t You Want It on Mixmag Records, ending the programme with Peak Time Techno energy.
