Marco Mei's 13th 2020 show on Scientific Sound Asia was originally aired on 4 April 2020. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Marco is an Italian DJ and producer with more than three decades of experience. As a teenager, he was drawn to Afrocentric music and the beginnings of electronic music, before starting to DJ in the early 1990s.
During his early years as a DJ, he toured throughout Italy before appearing at festivals and clubs internationally. His appearances have included shared line-ups with Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Ralph Falcon and Sander Kleinenberg.
In the early 2000s, Marco held a residency at Pacha Club in Sharm el-Sheikh, which led to further international bookings. He has played at Arcan in Saigon, Fuse in Brussels, Room 18 in Taipei, Shore Club in Hoi An, Bangaluu in Berlin, G-Star in Pattaya, SOS Supper Club in Bali and NLO in Minsk, among many other venues.
In 2009, Marco formed a production partnership with Stefano Ugliano, also known as 6884. Their project, Bicycle Corporation, has released more than 50 tracks and remixes that have been well received by the electronic music community.
Marco is based in Taipei, having relocated there at the beginning of the previous decade, and performs at events across the capital. He works within a wider South East Asian network of DJs, producers, clubs and events.
His weekly show spans Deep House, Tech House, Afro House, Melodic Techno, Nu-Disco, Indie Dance, Electronica and Techno. He is available for bookings through Scientific Sound Asia's DJ agency, while his weekly programme is broadcast through its radio station.
DJ Marco Mei's 2020 show 13 opens with Jos & Eli's One featuring Jinadu, before HOSH and 1979 feature Jalja on Midnight. The latter fryhide release and Yotto's Amaru on Odd One Out establish a Melodic House and Techno start.
Butch's Lale on Innervisions brings in Deep House, followed by Azymuth, DJ Meme and Marcos Valle with Jazz Carnival on Far Out Recordings. Lovebirds and Ralph MacDonald then bring The Path on Peppermint Jam Records into the sequence.
Boe & Zak's Loop For Love on Classic Music Company and Demuir's High Alive and Dirty on Hot Creations give the middle of the show a firm House Music focus. Hurlee's Favorite Jazz on Suol then adds a lighter Nu-Disco turn.
HiFi Sean and Celeda's The Music precedes Funky Green Dogs' Maslow Unknown re-edit of Reach 4 Me, keeping the rhythm vocal-led and club-facing. Mr. X & Mr. Y's New World Order on Low Spirit Recordings introduces Electronica, while Paddy's Holly's Smile and Exch Pop True's La Discoteca add electronic and Dance Music material.
Lectroluv's Dream Drums in the Diamond Cut Drum Dub returns to House Music, before Ralphi Rosario's Energy Factor brings Music, Music from Underground Construction. Törsh follows with Magic Johnson on Zissou Records, and Kaiser Waldon's Frankie Knuckles on Music To Dance To Records keeps the later section close to Nu-Disco.
Younger Than Me's May Day (90's Wax) leads into Crystal Waters' Gypsy Woman in the Keelover remix and Mystic Force's Luca Guerrieri bootleg of Psychic Harmony. Marshall Jefferson and Noosa Heads close with the Salt City Orchestra remix of Mushrooms on Plastic City History, returning the final passage to Deep House.
