This interview from a few weeks ago gives a bit of insight to what hes up to at the moment, nearer the end of the article - https://www.internationaldjmag.com/dj-dougal.html
As for him and Gammer, I thought Gammer had finally ****ed off and no longer makes Hardcore?

Dougal DJ'ed with Gammer relatively recently in Las Vegas didn't he, as support or something, in the last year or two I think? It seemed at the time like something of a 'blast from the past', a "look, it's me old mate Dougal!" sort of thing.
The "Dougal & Gammer" days are well over, for better or worse. Worse for the scene for sure but I doubt Gammer would change what he is doing and return to uk hardcore. I remember on his Reddit AMA he said his favourite style was 1994-era breakbeat happy hardcore - it would be fantastic if he made some of that stuff.
Dougal did this remix recently too:

Yeah, the cheese I could tolerate but playing the tunes at 0% pitch or less was a real energy killer, especially if you'd just listened to someone like Brisk.

How often is Dougal used a "calm downer" after Brisk set? :D

In that interview he mentions about himself scratching and that is how he got his break a club promoter heard him scratch and booked him,
Has anyone ever heard Dougal scratch In any live sets? I?ve never heard him scratch and when he played back 2 back with Gammer it was always Gammer doing the scratching

Not sure how Dougal could ever be classed as a crap DJ from anyone who has been into hardcore at any point over the last 20+ years. His mixing is always pretty consistent if a little bland.

Cheers, Graham.
That's what I'd thought based on the discogs page but just wanted to check.

Never heard Dougal scratch once in all the years I've listened to him.
Yeah I have heard him scratch before! and I couldn't believe it when I heard it! I'm nearly sure it was one of the the first dreamscapes (not sure which number) early nineties anyhow, the scratching only lasted a few seconds from what I can remember , but I was really surprised to hear it as I've never heard dougal scratch before, and that's the only time I've heard him
