I've not seen it made public anywhere. Certainly haven't seen it on their Facebook page, Facebook group or on here. So it could be poor organization, or maybe not everyone is getting a fair crack of the whip.

I thought you knew me better than that. I've always been twatty.

I've run around telling various labels and producers on FB, and we included submission details on our newsletter which went out to a curated list of 2000 people.
I haven't had time to actually listen to submissions until this week, not to mention that I haven't had properly working audio since December, so we're operating on a tight schedule. That said, I've made it perfectly clear this has been coming since late last year *and* we've subsequently announced the album with a release timeframe.
Anyone who actively sought me/HU out to submit has been engaged with.
Clearly this is all entirely unreasonable, and as usual there are countless other leading lights doing everything to a massively elevated comparative standard making me bunch my fists in shame and sob repentantly for our failings of both spirit and execution. Feel free to submit to all of them, though, I'll be back once I'm done flagellating myself and am healed physically and emotionally.

You always have such a way with words, you scoundrel you.

There's a degree of redundancy in pointing out something already confessed.

Bitch don't point out the error of my ways! I commented before reading on to the next page of comments!
And of course I know Olly better than that. He's never not a little bit cunty in everything he says!

Haven't publicly announced submissions being open. Haven't listened to any until the week of the deadline. Haven't had working audio for 3 months.
Real organized.
And I realise that's almost blasphemy, given your cult following on here. At the end of the day, if you're looking for leading lights, Ken Masters sets a good example. Organized, transparent and gives everyone a chance to impress.
You have quite an extraordinary view of yourself and your role in Hardcore. I concede, you're contributing a lot of content to the scene, but it's very unhealthy to have such a perspective on yourself.

I didn't have any audio because my processor broke and it took this long to get fixed. Various albums over the years have had wayyyyy shorter submission deadlines, and we have the advantage of already trawling for podcasts regularly. You may be misinterpreting my opinion of myself and HU, I just don't see how on earth we deserve castigating. I've done loads to help Ken, so it's not as if I am blind to things like that but until you get to enjoy the blinkered ignorance I deal with daily in my attempts to work with the wider scene at all levels you can't conceive the levels of frustration.
One week for submissions, on a project announced a full 4 months ago, is ample. The end.

I should also point out I've been earmarking stuff since mid last year, so I'm hardly flying blind.

Do submissions have to be mastered?

You make it sound like Jon's running Sony or BMI, this is hardcore the scene itself is barely organized. So if anything his "disorganization" is in tune with the norm of the scene.
And nothing against Ken Masters, but in a 12 month period he's released 2 free digital albums that don't require as much work as what Jon had to do to push out 14 physical albums (34 CDs of DJ-friendly tracks and mixes) in that same period. With a free digital album you don't have to worry about printing issues, paying royalty fees, making sure that you have legal permission to have all tracks feature on the albums (especially remixes), having to wait on producers to meet deadlines (Brisk taking 2+ years for his album), etc.
And he's also not working on one album at a time. On top of HU7, he's currently working on Entity's artist album, F&D's next artist album, the HU breaks 2 album, Nu Foundation's album, HU DJ tools Vol 5, and a variety of albums yet to be announced. Perhaps he may be taking on too much at one time, but in the end everything eventually works out well. He managed to push out all those projects despite issues he's faced. Jon has never failed in promising to deliver the albums he's been working on, with one exception so far and that's not his fault.
And I'm not defending HU just because I'm a massive fan of the label and its producers, it's plainly obvious that they're the most organized entity in the hardcore scene currently not including event-only companies. Despite what I said about their content I praised Futureworld when they started having a consistent release schedule when they revamped the label, until they stopped releasing anything.
Maybe you're pissed off because you don't have time to throw something together to submit for the album so attacking Jon for no logical reason makes you feel better. Perhaps instead of being a keyboard cunt you should revive your failed Zonkers project now that Sharkey has fucked off god knows where and won't throw such a huge shitfit over the album. But knowing you you'll fail again and talk shit to and alienate producers and djs involved in the project just like last time.

Nope, just make a note of the state. That said it *is* crucial to note that unmastered will eventually need to be supplied for eventual inclusion.

Of all the things wrong with Hardcore you choose to go nuts about this. Have a laugh, Olly!
