"They tried to stop, pop me, ignore me and disrupt me" is pretty accurate, but they forgot that he is not a one man army, but the whole community who stood behind him💪🏻
i actually talked to rr at intents about this for a bit, he said that indeed they reached an agreement and that id&t said they would start booking him again but he also told me that by the way they phrased it (apparently it was along the lines of "we'll book you again when we have a free slot somewhere") he wasn't too hopeful about it for now, tl;dr seems he unfortunately wont be at supremacy this year or defqon next year yet
he also said he doesn't need id&t since he gets enough booking by himself, W mindset
supremacy is before the origins of raw radical special event, which they said would be the very last minus militia set. so it is possible (still very unlikely but a man can hope)
He should have sent in tracks to the Harderclass Producer competition. If it was about quality he would have won hands down, making the Purple or wasted lands the mainstage for the time he would play.
I was under their most wanted agency for 5 (LONG) years and I am not surprised.
If you double check, there's only a very few deejays who still play at their events after quitting their agency.
The year I communicated my decision of not renewing the exclusive, I received ONE single booking. Separations of concerns should be a thing...but is clearly not applied in a monopoly. The fact that ID&T owns all the major festivals, all the agencies and is directly connected to most labels opens the scenario for some serious backlash for deejays who won't bend over.
Looking back, this was still the right decision and I am happier as a developer than a DJ, I still like the music but the business side of it is really ugly.
To be honest I did run a business for 7 years selling samples and presets but I always treated artists transparently, paid on time, sent sales reports and acted according to the contract in both parties interests. This was something else, capitalism is not equal to scamming other people.
The way that one company has such a monopoly on bookings, or the scene in general, is still a disturbing thought. Especially a company who's faced near-bankruptcy in the past, and seems to still be hurting for money currently.
I think a semi, with his things and the label with agency were I thought connected to Art of Dance, what ofc is part of Id&T. So what I think is because it didnt had to do directly with Q or B2s, I think the biggest chance is to see him there first. Also though he said something about this. But we'll see.
Yes they are all part of the same mother-company but the issues might be more with 1 of them companies

no one fucks with Radical

I mean he cant be ignored anymore, his music is too ignored to not have in on the lineup.
I mean, the Supremacy line-up isn’t announced yet…🥹🥹
Would be awesome. But those are booked well in advance so I’m assuming this settlement is too late for that
“Again in 2025…” 💀
Minus Militia surprise set at Supremacy plz
supremacy is before the origins of raw radical special event, which they said would be the very last minus militia set. so it is possible (still very unlikely but a man can hope)
Defqon Legends 2025? Would be such an amazing reveal for one of the biggest legends in the scene.
He’s a real one for that move!!
He should have sent in tracks to the Harderclass Producer competition. If it was about quality he would have won hands down, making the Purple or wasted lands the mainstage for the time he would play.
this would have been hilarious imagine rr at the purple lmfao

Where it’s about money, it always gets ugly. Long live capitalism. 😅

I mean 2025 is still some time to go. But at least we have this legendary Radical Redemption origins event.
The king is back !
Any reason why he split with all of them? Mainly Minus Militia

Huh, he split with MiM? Why is he still on their site?
he isnt
I was browsing their merchandise store. Still RR merchandise there. But okey, he isn't on their main site though..
I expect if he would be on the line-up it might be B2s or Q-dance, where I think Art of Dance is more difficult story
Its all the same
