Vitamin D at the Root in Boulder

In the halcyon days of the Denver dance scene, circa the late '90s, Vitamin D was everywhere. It was rare, in fact, to see a party flier that didn't have his name on it. These days, Vita's focused primarily on label work, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still find time to play out at events such as the Know Your Roots party Friday, August 22, at the Root in Boulder. What better opportunity to hear a classic Colorado DJ playing old-school tracks — a 2x4 set with DJ Fury — than at the Root, a place where every old-school head in Colorado has memories? Indications are good that D will throw down some old-timey jungle since he's paired up with Fury, but whatever he plays, it should be a night to bring back fond feelings among those who were there, as well as a chance for the young'uns to catch up on some of the sounds that helped shape the scene into the vibrant, lively place it is today.
