[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: A question about a prize

I too might be a bit long in the tooth for dubstep, but fortunately I have an excellent teacher in the genre who is within the age range of people who listen to and produce dubstep, and applying his principles (laid out here in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HXe7BQtlmo), I came up with a production that was pleasing to Talenthouse associates.

I still have not heard from Don Goliath, but I personally am not in a rush. I'm currently in Australia, where I had an appearance on Street Stars (http://streetstars.com.au/). Pretty soon after I get home, I'll be turning around and going to Sao Paulo, Brazil for some performing and recording (hope I don't get caught up in any police sweeps of the protests there!) so I have plenty to keep me busy.

But though Talenthousers may have been happy with my dubstep, I won't be happy with it until Don Goliath is happy with it.

Hi Matt

A pleasure to e-meet you. You should absolutely received your prizing for your effort. I will send a reminder to Derek, I am sure he has this in hand but I will prompt him.

I must confess I am probably out of the age range of those that listen to Dubstep!!! But I will also ensure that Derek investigates the next steps for you to see if there's a further stage of work that needs to be completed

Have a great day

Jo

Hi Jo,

I saw that you had written me a while back from Talenthouse, so I thought I might give you a try to see if you can take a hand in setting something right for me, or at least investigating the situation.

I previously asked Derek, who has always been really helpful and prompt, to look into this for me, but this time, I wonder if he might have let me down, since I've had no reply.

I then asked Danielle, who wrote to me about another matter, but she seemed friendly, and I thought she might be able to help, but as yet I have no reply from her either.

So here, is my situation; as you might know, I was thrilled to be the people's choice winner for this contest:

I was all about the honor, but then i noticed that there are supposed to be actual prizes associated with this achievement:

People's Choice

    Digital release on Dubstep Division Recordings
    £40 voucher for the Loopmasters online shop

I waited a while, but didn't hear from Mr. Goliath, so I attempted to contact him through his website and ask him when the prizes will be awarded. So far I've heard no response from him.

Now, I don't know if he ever drops by your offices, or maybe you go out to clubs where he's djing or playing or whatever those dubstep guys do, but if you happen to see him any time soon, please let him know that while I can really use those products from his online shop, I'm most excited about the release on the Dubstep Division Recordings. i am also aware that however popular my conception of Dubstep might be with the public at large, I recognize that my mix was very rough, and might not be up to his professional standards. If you see him, will you let him know that I am willing to rework this material as many times as necessary to bring it up to the standards of his company?

Thank you very much,

Matt Love
Mr. Worldwide People's Choice Award Winner!
