Hi there, i think there are good valid points here as this is the underground. My petition comes from turning on the radio and hearing UNDERGROUND dance tracks anyway, but the rave thing being left out in the cold. Fergie plays some techno on his show and it is well loop kind of based stuff (although my personal belief is that maybe he should mix a lot sooner, more like Ant's Dj style).

To cut my drivvel short it is to say look you have this covered extensivly (house), now you have done that, please represent the scenes that sell as much and have as many people going to the clubs. there is no other reason to not have it but personal choice for Radio 1.

However, the underground IS underground, so no radio play may be a good thing... on the other hand the radio puts out tracks which are boring to me (coming from the cheesy rave side of me) and i think so many hours of house are suffocating (that looks wrong) the overall dance scene which is cutting off the paths to getting deeper into it.. Like if I was 14 right now and i listened to really underground stuff i think i would prefer rap metal as at a younger age the reason for listening might be excitement rather than 'groove' or 'deep'. Thats why this petition is for over 140bpm stuff, you may not like it, it may not be credible or cool but it exists as much as house.
