Remember the production contest way back in May 2015? I won it! Yay!
It's now been a full year, and HU has still yet refused to send me what I won.
Within the original thread, this was promised to the winner:
- A signed Fracus & Darwin 'Filth & Dumb Hatred' Canvas.
- A signed Fracus & Darwin 'Filth & Dumb Hatred' CD Album.
- A choice of any 2 CD albums from the HU Store.
- A choice of 3 Scarred Digital MP3/WAV Tracks from their back catalogue.
- Professional track and vocal Mastering.
- Track featuring exclusively on the next free members album 'The Past. The Present. The Future 2015'.
I have thoroughly contacted HU more than five times at this point, across the entire year. I understand that they are running a company and are busy.
I have now personally talked to CDJay multiple times. Each time he has told me he will send it out on X date. He then does not do so, and refuses to respond to my follow-ups.
It takes five minutes to gather my stuff from the storage room and put it in a box. Apparently their fanbase is only worth their time when they are directly profiting from it - I ordered and paid for the F&D Diversions CD and had it in two weeks! Even left a little note for them saying it'd be great if they could slip in my stuff with the order, both on the order itself and on Facebook. Of course, they didn't.
I have been overly polite, overly patient, and tried to be absolutely and fully understanding. But at this point, my patience has run out. This is absolutely unacceptable from any respectable company and I've honestly lost almost all respect I've had for the label. The artists themselves are fantastic, of course - don't take that the wrong way.
I don't know what else to do now but complain publicly. Maybe a hundred people seeing their incompetence in the limelight will finally get one of them to get off their arse and spend five minutes giving me what they owe. I am not making this post with some gleeful hope that HU burns to the ground, nor do I want to stir up drama. I simply do not know what else is left to do to try and get their attention. This isn't even getting into the fact that it took them two months and multiple contacts for them to pay me the over $100 they owed to me.
Please, HU. Spend the five minutes and ship me my shit. Thank you.
tl;dr - HU promised me stuff a year ago and has refused to send it to this day, even after multiple contacts and followups by me. I don't know what else is left to do now but complain publicly.

Knowing my luck, I am sure this post will backfire horribly and somehow cause the entire world to collectively hate my guts.
Like I said. I don't want drama. I just want my shit.

There was a PPF2015?
Personally, I'd have taken the track elsewhere for a release or kept for your own projects and considered the prizes a bust.. Actually, that's a lie. I'd have done exactly this, but it's a pretty hopeless cause to try and disrupt the almost hallowed view that this site has of HU.
Regardless, this reeks of the Boaty McBoatface phenomena - to contribute to a contest that has no actual fair ending, or a get-out clause in the small print.
But people will jump in and say you sound spoiled and the post does seem a little that way. While we don't speak often these days, when I participated in the scene, it was very obvious you loved your music, what you did and especially aspired to work with HU in some regard. This competition was your dream realised, but in the year we haven't spoken until our chat the other night it sounds like you've gone from a keen and passionate producer to someone who had lost interest in something they loved. For you to put your reputation and music on the line is indicative of how much you've been affected by this.
The problem is, the scene is worse off without your creative talents - and you were far more talented than myself in the studio. So this post is about more than prizes, to an extent it's responsible for your falling out of love with Hardcore.

Nothing is wrong with the label, just between you and Jon. Don't trash the whole label when you have an issue with just one, or maybe two people.

I agree with this to some extent, but it is poor professional practise and its with regard to HU as a label. No one can argue the music os great, but this is a matter of the operationship of the label and the way its treating a fan. I think its pretty relevant..

I'll happily throw my arms up and admit to being utterly useless for the past 6 months.
The only part of that I'd disagree with is that we've treated our paying customers any better, because, frankly, by and large we haven't.
Something happened to our Royal Mail account whilst we were over in Toronto; we can't actually put any shipments in, so we're scrambling to get whatever the issue is resolved for Tuesday when the latest releases (finally) ship.
I'll get it out then.
My sincerest apologies; as I said, I completely agree with the content and tone of the post. The voices in my head are considerably less forgiving

Good thing I specifically said it was about CDJay and not the artists then!

Yea but your title post doesn't. Didn't say anything about CDJay and only mentioned HU and the company.
But hopefully everything gets resolved this time around.

Fancy that, the only drama that came from this was your own post :)

The title of the thread called HU as a company; incompetent, Steve.
Where's the confusion?
And to be fair, you do go over the top with the gifs. 4 bigg'uns in one post?
