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 |

No to long ago, he posted a thread giving away all his tracks on file for free. |

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. |
| Triquatra |
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. |

If Im allowed to reopost them, I believe I do have them |
| htid_4_life |
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 |
| Samination |
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 |
| htid_4_life |
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. |

hope it is because hes busy and doing well thanks for that. if they go on for sale in wav format I will buy |

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 |
| Samination |
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! |

Because the riff samples 'Mario World'. |

I always thought his tunes sounded terrible. Or, was that the general plan/idea? |

In terms of sound quality or how good the tracks were?
The sound quality is far from amazing, to say the least, but I thought some of the tracks were superb. |

Thanks for that Samination. Just heard a few of his older tracks which am a fan of so will have to check these out. |
