side chaining makes it tight and punchy, gives it a bit of punch normally just with a track or two then added with a master really pumps it up. it keeps everything related, the kcik and bass pump together.
'FM radio compression' is what actual radio stations use to compress the songs they broadcast, its the 'LISTEN TO ME!' sound. its heavy compression, a combo of multiband, tape boost, stereo spatialisation,...basically all the stuff in the mastering racks in live used in some freaky daftpunk way and really short and loud. thats what they're known for is over the top mastering compression like FM radio where everything is 'loud'. there's a 'multiband hard techno' rack in live, cut the low end too

read this and the comments, you'll see the difference in how songs are mastered and why. one thing i've learned is to know your tunes and the sound you want more than the technical details or how specifically some else does it.
