Home At the same time passed hardcore parties - basically in 1993-1998 Such di-dzhei as Liza'N'Eliaz, Marc Acardipane and Lenny Dee often visited France, however public was not so numerous as on "free parties". The French hardcore-scene has started to be shown by such musicians as Manu le Malin, Lunatic Asylum and Radium. But at that time this scene was less, than "free party stuff", and many actors and simply listeners left parties and music. Thus existing scene has been occupied by the same people all this time that has started to bother public. There were no new leaders, only small clans, here and there proving the superiority. Hardcore has received new popularity when it have played on "free parties". However people who played him, did not know the music, some were not able to reduce at all one plate with another. It has turned out so that thousand people young and stuffed with drugs have created something like a children's hardcore-fashion. Such style of behaviour has extended so (the actions named "teknivals", collected 30000-50000 persons!) that the government under the influence of sellers of alcohol and owners of night clubs has decided to publish the law. And then French hardcore producers have started to make a considerable quantity of plates since this market is very great. The majority of these plates, copies of copies - full nonsense. So, hardcore in France today? Practically there are no good parties, except for several in a year in the east of the country; there are no good plates; 70 % of public are teenagers or the people thinking only those, as though to take down to themselves brains the next dose of drugs. Anything cheerful. The most important of what it is necessary to think today is the future because the present is awful. Some people start to be engaged in the organisation. From time to time it is possible to hear about new skilful and perspective di-dzhejah. Still considerable share of public is made by people living music. A main point in finding ways to avoid or bypass the law. Hardcore so there was underground, now its way - hidden.
