What ever happened to James Venus? Did he go on to produce under another alias or something, I always thought his tracks were really good so just wondering what happened? I was told he has an account with tracks on soundcloud under his real name but I cant find it

He did, I grabbed a bunch. I always loved "Dancing Through the Night" and was over the moon to get the full proper version, rather than the album mix from the Slammin' Vinyl album.

The vinyls versions on Absolute Hardcore were super distorted too, so I was very happy to get nice and clean versions.
He took them down, and disapeered again; Samination might have them on his website though? He usually puts up the legal downloads.

hope the guys ok, giving away his tunes for free then disappearing isn't a great sign, the man had talent. That being said if they are online anywhere I would love a copy

Ehm... He haven't produced a track that's gotten release for over 2 decades. Why would it look bad if he releases some for free? :P

mental health and all that. you never know. I have seen people get manic depression and give away things and then disappear for a bit and it read like that's what happened there.

Here's what I know.
Vibes latched onto him and so on with his tracks.
James was studying engineering in Brighton. About 5 years ago I was in contact with him and after he finished his degree we were going to do a few bits of production together. I left FB at the time so no idea.
A while later all he gave all his tracks out and I think it was "sound of love" that was due to be a vocal track (loving you, is easy when you're beautiful.... or whatever the lyrics are). At that time he gave out that "original" as well.
He did used to do a load of tutorials on YT. I can't fully remember but it was engineering or something like that.... it was a long time ago though.
I really don't think it's MH stuff, but he's just busy and it is what it is. Taking them down is more likely due to a change of heart, perhaps just thinking giving them out for free isn't a good idea if he's possibly going to come back into the scene and work with someone.

Here it is.

He never said anything about a limited timeframe. He just posted them on Soundcloud and then deleted them one day for some reason.
EDIT: Halfway through the thread he says "Glad to be of service! Nice that the tracks are still being enjoyed :) Feel free to share them with anyone you know remembers them ;)"
And then the last replay where someone mentions "analog DAT rips" lol

Well the audio on most are very muffled so. They were WAV or FLAC (what I got is FLAC) and some don't have higher freq than MP3 usually have.
Anyways, here they are:

^^ Thanks for these. Agree that the sound is a bit muffled but to my ear they don't sound any worse than the ones that appeared on Bonkers 6
This is turning into a great week for me for getting some old stuff!
