So i been listening to Gammer's track's on soundcloud lately and most of it just seems to be sped up dubstep, wtf is going on? What happened to the sound of Gammer's track's from 10 even 5 year's ago? I know hardcore is changing but his recent stuff....... dubstep really? What does everyone else think of his latest track's and also hardcore in general from the likes of breeze, styles etc. Am i getting old and struggling to keep up with the sound of their material or are their track's really going down hill?

Well I mean you gotta think of Gammer as a whole.
He's been a great guy throughout the hardcore scene. We CANNOT disagree with that, he has changed with the scene and pushed it in many ways. The guy has been making hardcore for 15+ years. But he ALWAYS has been blending genres for years. He has been all over dubcore, all over trap, I mean really, he's been in practically ever y large scene coming on.
I mean this is just my opinion, but there really is only so much someone can take from the scene, or so much someone can produce in the scene before they get bored, or they just don't feel it anymore. Gammer may be changing (and I can't agree for the best) but he is moving on and I think we all really need to stop bashing him for making what he's making now. He's moved on, he's doing something else now. Yes I know he keeps calling his Dubstep infused trap shit "Happy Hardcore" but let that sink his career on its own. We all know what happy hardcore is and we are the ones that move the scene.

But what?s this new thing with Gammer grabbing the mic and chatting bollocks during his own sets? Is this what they?re all doing nowadays?

dubstep died like drum & bass, and became a gay scene, while hardcore will never die, happy hardcore already exists for them who come along and start crying about everything
a thousand faces of hardcore that all just make a single set if you are good at mixing, and the randomness of the 12 hour event

I'm not rushing in to defend the guy - he was a total tool for using my name for that Sonic track on Clubland (to his credit, when we shared a place in Canada he apologised and offered me the rights. I also managed to punch him in the face towards the end of his set by accident) but he got a fair bit of flak for his recent Radio 1 mix. I'll write here what I wrote on Facebook:
1) Diplo does not operate a hardcore slot
2) Gammer can make virtually anything he wants, so let him.
3) Where did it say it was a hardcore mix?
Sure, I, like many preferred his older stuff, but to be fair, he's rubbing shoulders with some very big names, making some decent money and playing events that the rest of us can only dream about. He's still exposing a LOT of people to the faster side of things, even if what he does doesn't necessarily represent hardcore as a whole. Him and Styles have earned and deserve what they have.
He may make absolute crap - that is totally subjective, but he needs to make a living. I'd personally backflip if he did an update of "let it go", or better yet, gave it to me ;)
