wait; seriously? stupid.
track is ok though. if everyone loves it so much though they should love all they other much better hardcore tracks around. once you have that many followers; anything gets 100% publicity and basically there are enough people to shit a brick over it no matter what. people will like ANYTHING at that point. seriously think most people just like what is big or popular.

I competly agree with you there. For many years I've always thought that people who are really established and are a house hold name, tend to not work so hard at making a great track, there are exceptions of course but when there throwing out songs, knowing people will listen/buy there songs as they have a huge following. Rather like chart "fart" same continuous dribble and people will buy it. Where as an artist or dj or anyone for that matter, has to create something really good or special to get noticed, but they put there blood sweat and tears into a track simply for the love of the music, and therefore why I find most decent tracks these days are by new people you've never heard of.

You can be a real prick sometimes. It's not really funny is it? I think it would be good for the music if we got more stuff on labels like that. Certainly won't do much harm.

I have no choice but to whole-heartedly agree, it still amazes me how much trend affects someone's music taste.

I guess I can understand your confusion seeing as how I had my 'lol' followed up by "that's funny." I'm sure more people were confused about my feelings about that post...
But to clarify yes it is funny (to me at least) that he is trying to release tracks on a label that gives little to no attention to its minuscule hardcore side of releases. Going through the Beatport store, I could only find about 3 hardcore tracks that are up for sale among the over 600 tracks I skimmed through. One of them was even mislabeled as hard dance, which is what the site usually labels hardstyle. Perhaps I skimmed through it too fast and missed a couple, but even then it's clear they focus the majority of their efforts on releasing all other genres such as electro house and dubstep.
I do think it's odd that the label didn't bother releasing his remix of Hero by Pegboard Nerds considering how well-produced it is, and the label allowed for other remixes of that track to be released on their label. Maybe perhaps they think Gammer is too big of an artist for a label like Monstercat, who seems to focus more on giving opportunities to virtually unknowns in the industry? But yes for remixes of Monstercat tracks, I think they should consider releasing Gammer's stuff. Although if this is original hardcore work that he's trying to push out, he has his own label that he helped launch with others as a platform for that.

Well presumably gammer is still producing more than just hardcore, as wasn't he producing hard dance under his real name matt lee? I heard that Andy whitby had signed him, so I imagine he has far more to rely on and like you said has his own labels anyway.

I was caught off guard on how professionally done the pic was and thought maybe it was a bigname hard dance DJ I didn't recognize. Usually the avatars of personal pics I see on here aren't that professional looking.

That's quite a compliment thankyou! I'm on Facebook with the same picture (my normal name being Gary macey)I was working on an album a while back called Under The Influence, but sadly other responsibilitys took over and I had to abandon the project. Tho there are other photoshoots on my Facebook when we were experimenting with album cover ideas, which I can always share if need be. Thankyou tho its not every day you get told such a thing! Rather made my day haha
