Done by Mark Dann from NYC, analog gear as well as ½” inch 30 ips analog tape were used in the process, bringing out the warm and overall feel of this LP. Fresh Hip Hop beats and a cunning bass kick off the first track ‘No Love for Hard Times’ with powerful samples and builds. Displaying a keen dexterity of styles throughout the album, Vitamin D hits us with songs like ‘The Drop By’ with suave chilled beats, and an infectious gangster melody. ‘Rumble In the Park’ picks up the tempo with soulful hard breaks, exciting and expressive this is one for the break dancers; as is the following track ‘Something Smells Funky’ with a get down and boogie bass, organ keys and active beats. Enticing and slower songs like ‘Fire Island In Dub’ and ‘Chilling In The Land Of Make Believe’ showcase relaxing rhythms, drums and reggae organic sounds complete with warm analog crackles. ‘That’s One Sly Fox’ showcases energetic, frisky beats and amazing drum work. ‘Rotating the Hips’ has a jazzy bass and subtle beat repeats, filtering and a steel guitar sample making for a relaxing sunny track. Finally, ‘Theme from 1971’ with it’s progressive, soulful feel of clever arrangements ends this vivid, idiosyncratic Trip Hop album. ‘Hard Times’ from Vitamin D is cinematic, well executed, and diverse, encourages and oozes expression all with those much appreciated warm subtle sounds and pops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Showcasing all the various genres and beats found on the label. 50 tracks make up this 80 minute mix of continuous beats. Both parts should play seamlessly together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally recorded for Soundwaves Radio (a weekly program broadcasting from independent station KPFK 90.7FM in Los Angeles) I decided to extend the 30 minute mix to a full 80. I grew up using turntables but sold the 1200’s years ago so this mix was done on a Mac using Mixmeister. It is strange using a computer to mix tunes together but I was able to do some layering, edits, and tempo adjustments so all the tracks would work well with each other. I wanted to give the listener a Cold Busted experience showcasing the different types of genres and beats we release. Hopefully that was delivered to you. – Derrick (Vitamin D) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Sour Blues - Sum Ma \u003cbr\u003e2. Emapea - Smooth Walk \u003cbr\u003e3.
