Micropoint (band)
Encyclopedia
Micropoint is a French industrial hardcore duo composed of French DJs Daniel Técoult (Radium) and Denis Cohen-Scali (Al Core). Micropoint began producing hardcore techno in 1995 releasing tracks under record labels such as B.E.A.S.T. Records and Dead End Records. Their early records were well received with a total of eight releases over four years. With the release of the CD album 'Neurophonie' in 1999 under record label Epiteph (parent label Uncivilized World) Micropoint shot to fame and sold literally thousands of copies. Up until this time full length hardcore CD's with a continuous mix of an artists own material were virtually non-existent. They released 'Anesthesie International' in 2000 which was also well received. Around 2001 Micropoint suffered breaches in contract with Uncivilized World for releasing material on labels Neurotoxic and Psychic Genocide. Radium and Al Core went their separate ways and continued to produce many tracks as and to release numerous CD mix albums as solo artists. Micropoint reformed to release 'Remontées' in 2005 and 'Overdose United' in 2008. Also in 2008 Micropoint released 'Total Recall' EP (12", EP) under their own newly formed Micropoint Records.
