No sid, don't worry, but I hadn't followed all the posts in the discussion; I focused on the 14 (I've reread everything now) and I certainly didn't want to go against you. It's just a normal note on Radium, which indeed, as s4doll says, has nothing to do with the context of this page. ;) So, personally, I'm not the type who gets lost in cataloging and various subgenres, but it's obvious that saying Techno means everything and nothing... one could get lost if we take all the inspired subgenres and currents (now I don't know if you appreciate these things or not, but find me affinities like among the various Sven Vath, Jeff Mills, Alter Ego, Viperxxl, Hawtin, the stuff from M_nus, Trapez, etc., to move on to various Elstak, AOF, Angerfist, Promo, Neophyte, Tommyknocker, Ophidian, Hellfish, etc.!). Theoretically speaking, it's obvious that hardcore comes from techno, but let's avoid confusion since this page has talked about -totally different- techno, just as I said. ;) I don't know what you've heard from Radium, if you only caught the fakes on the mule or if you've seen him live, or if you own any EPs, but he certainly doesn't suck (at least, not with the latest releases). And it's NOT stuff for 16-year-olds. We're talking about a precursor and innovator in his genre, he’s definitely on another level compared to the stuff that followed, like r909, etc., with which he has also collaborated (and not all of it is garbage, just look at Sickest Squad). I think (I could be wrong) that you or whoever pointed out Radium meant or were talking about hardtek (that's why I'm telling you "the techno you wrote") (and here too there could be confusion with French, the line is very thin and Radium indeed travels in both styles) because if we have to define him, he certainly can't be specifically categorized as techno (rather Frenchcore)... and lately, among some very young people, especially in Lazio (to reconnect with the discussion of 16-year-olds), there has been a boom of alternative kids who go on about various Gotek, Weser, Narkotek, Illegali, and company, no doubt about that, but Radium is awesome (check out the stuff under the aka Androgyn Network)! [Oh, by the way, I don't rule out that after all this lengthy text you might have meant another Radium, considering that there are about 5 or 6 with that pseudonym floating around, lol). Cheers!
