MC Enemy hasn't been pumping HU7. I know it's not a project he's involved in, but MOB has a few tracks on there and it doesn't take but a few seconds to promote an album on facebook. He could do it in support of MOB and in support of HU, at the very least as a good gesture for having been asked to be on a brilliant project like Blu The Roof.
Although I do remember Jon did playfully ask him if he could promote the project at one of his gigs (castle rave), and Enemy in his own words said he ain't doing it lol. And just a quick skim through his profile/pages, he's only made maybe 1 or 2 posts promoting Blu The Roof. So yea, lol

So has Unknown. Surprisingly, Joey Riot hasn't mentioned the album at all, and he has a few tracks on the album. Or perhaps he has and I missed a post about it.

Well got HU7 today and after ripping it to itunes and having a scan through, The Fracus & darwin disk sounds good, the Al storm and Shimamura disk sounds quite good and the scottbrown & Chris fear disk sounds like a big lump of donkey shit.

Hardcore Til I Die have posted about HU7 on Facebook, if people could go post feedback and comments it will encourage further discussion and awareness. The more engagement, the more people see it.
Go, go, go!

Ok the fracus & Darwin disk
Positives:
-Blow out part 4 is a good strong opener that gives you the feeling you are listening to a HU album
-Futureshock is one of the best tunes i have heard all year and i'm glad i bought the obie album and got the full version.
-Air is one of the better uplifting songs on the album.
-The 1 is one of the stand out tracks and i can't wait to buy this one.
-Dynamite adds a bit of bang the disk needed.
-Starface remix is Fracus & darwin at their best, simple melodic uplifting brilliant!
Negatives:
-taking me back is on the unknown album and has to be one of the dullest/whiniest male vocal tracks i have heard
-Bananas, Every HU has to have some ridiculous joke song that shouldn't be inflicted on human ears and this is HU7's one.
-tip of your tongue, not quite sure what the point of that one is.
-Lemonade raygun. The remix from bonkers 5 is an absolute thumper and this remix couldn't be further from that classic. When the track gets past the speech and the old track goes mental, this one kind of trickles along and pretty much turns into nothing, one of the worst remixes i've ever heard.
The Scott brown & Chris fear disk:
Positives:
-Ok the bleep song is one of the best songs from last year and perhaps all time 100, a great way to start a disk
-the kickin hard remix was also good on happyhardcore underground, just release it already
Negatives:
-Stay young, yeah start with something incredible and follow up with TWRs version of Byker-Grove that's a contrast
-Break these records sounds like an old tape on fast forward play gone wrong
-D.T.S etc, good god this must have been a cheap one
-Nothing to fear, Who am i kidding? the whole disk is a car crash with only two half decent attempts
Al Storm & Shimamura:
The positives:
-Level up is another simple quirky track that i reckon could be a grower
-Shimamura remix of dream surprise, i wasn't really sure we needed another one of these (3 in the last 2 years i know of) but it's not bad for another one.
-Teenage kiss is the best track on the album by a mile!
The negatives:
-Love you everyday, god crikey where did these people put their talent?
-Mr Hoover is god awful
- Surrender gammer mix, we really didn't need another one of these.
Summary:
Disk 1 is awesome and Fracus & Darwin are making a cracking amount of great music at the moment to a point i'm looking forward to their next album. They've carried this compilation this time around to be honest and i would have loved to just have disk 1 unmixed instead but you can't have everything can you? There's not much negative on this one and i love it. GOOD Job F&D!!
Disk 2 is a cruel exercise in disappointment. It's like the old Uk game show Bullseye when the finalists would fail and Jim Bowen would say "lets see what you could have won." Its that way in having the the bleep song lead the mix and then its downhill from there apart from one respite in kickin hard. I'm disappointed with scott brown tbh and its a shame, in the past it was the freeform disks that used to let the albums down.
Disk 3 Has the honor of not being a patch on disk 1 but much better than disk 2, there's not much more to say really, the great points are watered down by some mediocre tracks and poor track length. Thankfully there's a good amount of teenage kiss at least.
People are right it's a good cross section of the scene including the shit that is floating around at the moment so much of it is down to taste. Much like Clubland Hardcore 8 and 9, if you like that sort of thing it's great, if you don't it can leave you feeling cold. It's better than 5, not as good as 6 or 4, kind of in the middle which isn't a bad place to be.

Remember when I said that we'd try to get the bulk of the HU stuff out in a very timely fashion following HU7?
It's begun; DJ Tools and 24/7 100 Volume 2 are both available to pre-order for end September release 
The remainder will follow on "Diversions", DJ Tools 5 or EP5. All well before year end!

Listened through about 4 times now. Don't have time for a full review but here's my two pence worth.
Fracus & Darwin mix is outstanding. The quality of music on there is utterly mouth watering. This is their best material yet and it's boosted by the presence of the remixes by Daniel Seven and Kurt.
I had heard most of the material on this disc already (being a super fan), but I hadn't heard 'Air' before. I've been obsessed with this track ever since. This track epitomises what I believe the mainstream hardcore sound should be like in 2015. It takes the production value of the top artists, with the current bassline sound etc and packs it full of energy. What a vocal! Jenna's voice just sounds so... right. It's clean and minimalist in terms of the riff, but it's still heart warming and emotive at the same time. That probably makes no sense.
Chris Fear & Scott Brown. Enjoyed this mix. Again, I had heard a lot of the material before, particularly the Scott Brown stuff. I would have been nice to have more new Scott Brown on there. I felt Chris Fear's music tried the hardest to emulate the current EDM sound. He experiments with different techniques and ways of making melodies etc and he can achieve some really clever moments. Were the tracks time-stretched rather than pitched on this disc? Some kicks can just be heard to go missing at times.
The final disc. Al Storm & Shimamura. WOW!! Love this! Lots of things I hadn't heard before and lashings of cheese. Just typically Al Storm. Love this one from beginning to end. The MOB remix is OUTSTANDING! I've never been his biggest fan, but he nailed this one. Brilliance. Bananaman's work is also very pleasing to the ear. He's a bloody talented song writer that fella.
I know there will be so much I'm failing to mention, but I'm writing this completely from the top of my head.
Overall, one of the best! A perfect demonstration of Hardcore Music at this current time.

Don't have the album yet but I figured I'd comment on this: a lot of great J-Core came out at a few conventions in Japan this past year. Precisely none of that ended up on this album except Teenage Kiss and Junkie Vinyl (and Come Back, oops. Cathedral is unreleased). I'm kinda surprised by that, but given how apparently J-Core artists think their music is completely and totally unrelated to any Western music (DJ Technorch gave a presentation saying as much, although he completely ignored UK Hardcore while giving it), maybe I shouldn't be.

I'm still listening to it daily, so it must be a good album.
The only criticism you could make about the album is the amount of already-known material on there (as people have already noted). It doesn't bother me, per se - but it does undoubtedly reduce - when instantly, emotionally reviewing a mix - that "oh fcuking hell that was amazing" feeling. The tracks that are released are all absolutely massive and would be the stand-out tracks on the album if they were previously unheard. Admittedly, expensive and difficult to implement that - but if you could nail that down for HU8, it would go a long way to really, truly feeling like Bonkers.

Excellent work on getting these out.
EP. 5! Nice. :-) Shame about the Cheltenham event. I was definitely going to be there. :-(

I see teenage kiss is on an album called fenix and I can't find a listing for that, is there anyway to get that track?
I ordered the other two (finally a dj tools I want) and of course m-project powerstomp? Please take my money

We're still trying to get stock of Fenis for the store; the language barrier is significant
We'll get there!
