Not so.
I`d think a lot of the hard sounds are down to some people having a rock, thrash or metal past.
Not even beginning to mention the industrial pioneers of the late 70`s and early 80`s
Plus punk for the scid techno lot etc.
Beltram has zero meaning to a lot of people I know who make hard techno, their sound comes out of the free party hardcore, that came from jungle et
I'm afraid I have to disagree! :)
Hardcore is a offspring of a parralel between the early hard (Belgium) techno sound of Joey Beltram and the Bigbeat sound. (T99, Praga Kahn, ...)

Hardcore comes from Rotterdam. (1991 / Parkzicht sound)

But Joey Beltram invented hard techno.
That's a hard fact. He was the first one with Energy Flash. (the blueprint for all Euro-techno sounds)
