{"title":"B0nds","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlick beats made fresh. That’s on delivery from B0nds, a prolific producer operating just south of the nation’s capital in the environs of Woodbridge, Virginia. For 15 years Frederick Elliott has been weaving together rhythm and vibe, influenced by the likes of J Dilla, Madlib, Flying Lotus, and MF Doom. These beats are ripe, masterfully constructed via Roland SP-404, the occasional synthesizer flourish, and a stack of obscure vinyl treasures — beats made from digging, made for digging. The resulting sound of B0nds is smoked-out and sly, drawing on retro-funk flavors that get transported into mellifluous boom-bap contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"b0nds-phantom-versions","title":"B0nds - Phantom Versions","description":"\u003ciframe id=\"disco-playlist-10555235\" name=\"disco-playlist-10555235\" allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\" class=\"disco-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/coldbusted.disco.ac\/e\/p\/10555235?download=false\u0026amp;s=_BCFPigOIgzR85GKBM8IHtk9rGQ%3ARmVsWvbh\u0026amp;artwork=false\u0026amp;theme=white\u0026amp;color=%2300B5FD\" width=\"100%\" height=\"395\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a steady run of acclaimed beat tape transmissions, the multi-faceted instrumental hip hop producer known as B0nds joins the Cold Busted fam for the 14-track album Phantom Versions. Inspired by the likes of J Dilla, Madlib, and Flying Lotus, the DC-area adjacent B0nds has been making beats for 15 years, developing a style that’s vibey and deep, characterized by down-low rhythms and layers of obscure samples and funky synth flavors. Recently B0nds co-produced “Park Closes at Dusk” with Fushou, and the track grabbed over 7 million plays on Spotify. B0nds is clearly on the rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhantom Versions brings together all the essential elements in the B0nds toolkit. There’s loping after-hours rhythms and space-funk synthology in the dream-like “Elsewhere.” Jazz drums and pulsating R\u0026amp;B vibrations intermingle in “Lonely Afternoon.” “African Groove” assembles a team of loose percussion, funky guitar riffs, and snatches of lost-in-time vocals. And “On The Late Night Tip,” with its delicate construction and moonlit tones, epitomizes the feel of Phantom Versions. These are tracks that channel a mood felt in the latest and loneliest of hours, no matter the time of day. Let B0nds be your sonic guide through the shadowy night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1. B0nds - From A Distance (2:37)\u003cbr\u003e2. B0nds - Lonely Afternoon (2:46)\u003cbr\u003e3.

Bust Free spotlighted Cold Busted’s staple artists alongside new names, and, as a free download, was a gift to the label’s fans. Over seven years Bust Free produced an impressive 20 installments, charting the course for Cold Busted’s distinctive brand of laid back instrumental hip hop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNow, after a three-and-a-half-year break, Bust Free is back. Bust Free 21 has the widest scope yet, with producers from nine countries representing Cold Busted’s growing international influence. Among the 16 artists on the comp are label favorites like Emapea, The Deli, Es-K, Mister T., and saib. And over the 15 tracks, they’re rubbing shoulders with newer names such as Mr. Goldenfold, West MAAD, Sebastian Fraye, and B0nds. The selection is diverse and strong, coming together in a sonic ride that will equally please DJs, beat-heads, and the ‘music for studying’ crowd. These vibes are exceptional, top to bottom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike others in the series, Bust Free 21 is available as a free Bandcamp download.
