When it's done can you use the Search & Replace feature to look for every mention of 'MC Storm' and replace it with 'utter cock-womble' please!

Been done to death on here. Personally, I think the guy is a wanker but good luck to him.

His older tunes, both solo and his collabs with Dougal in particular, formed part of the soundtrack to my younger years and Ill always be grateful for that. Ive also had some of the best nights of my life going mental on the dance floor with Gammer behind the decks. He is free to do whatever he wants but I wish hed go about it differently without all of this victim ******** he likes to peddle.

He obviously wants **** all to do with the UK hardcore scene and thats fine but be a bit more professional about it - Hardcore gave him the platform to get to where he is today. Likewise, hardcore fans who dont like his new stuff also need to let go.

I remember Gammer first coming on to the scene... A normal every day chap who Dougal took under his wing and taught him everything he needed to start producing some genuine great tracks under Muffin Music (so named because he really liked muffins). Unfortunately because of his success and growing fanbase his head began to swell and after winning a few awards he dropped his mentor Dougal and decided to go solo. He then saw the success Darren Styles was having in the slow clap hardstyle scene and followed him like a little lost puppy. This isn't the first time Gammer has produced hardstyle though as he has produced under his real name Matt Lee. This begs the question of why he would use his Hardcore stage name to play hardstyle/edm though seeing as the person that gave him the Gammer name was Dougal. We have watched him go from everyday Mathew to some embarrassing swagger man and it is painful to watch. Calvin Harris he is not.

Funnily enough I agree with you there.


Gammer had talent and in the early days was on USH and helped others as well.

With the way the scene went, his head became up his backside and as he decided he didn't really like hardcore anymore, then nobody else could like it either.

He was "forced" to make music just to satisfy the masses (cough, lining his own pocket) even though he didn't like it anymore and slowly at sets started playing all sorts of other non hardcore rubbish to rebel. After all, fans that went to see him were so "omg gammer!!!" That even when he was playing "want to build a snowman", many just went with it as their legend was there on the decks.

Then yeah, it's the Poundland Calvin Harris stuff. A humble guy who was a decent producer of hardcore to a head up bum type to become a toddler that had the toys drop out of the pram.


What he should have done is when he woke up one day no longer liking hardcore is to step away, instead of continuing in fairy land of being the dogs balls and watering the scene down further.

It didn't help that once he made his change, he called his listeners narrow minded for liking his old music but not his new stuff.
