DJ Vitamin D — also known as Derrick Daisey — started his career in 1991 in Los Angeles at the height of the rave scene and has been taking the music scene by blah blah blah…
My god I am sick of reading this old bio. Here is the deal…
In October 2008 I was diagnosed with high frequency hearing loss. All caused by not wearing ear plugs and having the volume cranked to “8″ for the last 15+ years. Everything happens for a reason though. I enjoyed my years of djing but now it has to stop. Studio work is also put on hold until my ears heal.
I own and operate 7 labels (Some Cutz Up) as well as a distribution company titled, Some Cutz Up Aggregation. My whole goal for these labels is to give artists their “first” break. I have been ripped off by so many labels in the past (I didn’t say all of them) and wanted to do something different. I list all my terms on the labels site and pay every quarter.
As for djing, well it just doesn’t do it for me like it used to. Thanx for the 18+ years of support!

Hi derrick,
I Dj’d your wedding in Corona and played a few clubs with you. Just a line to say hi!
Yo man. I very much doubt that you remember me. Met you a few times up in Boulder and I think you know my old friend Josie and a few others. I was emptying out this old storage facility of mine in the Springs and came across all my old rave/club tapes. Brought back some crazy memories. You, Brad (Tres Manos), Hipp-E, Greg, yadda yadda. I’m so damned pissed I lost some of my Eden Tapes and my favorite Jon Bishop tape. Anyway I wanted to say thanks for the memories. I doubt you need em, but I’m gettin some of my favorites including yours converted to cd. Drop me a line if you need any.
@ Gary – Oh man that was another time! No longer with that one for sure!!
@ Adin DeGeare – You are welcome! I went through over 50 tapes so far and the memories were there for me as well. Thanks for the support.
Keep up the good work, i’ve been a fan for more than 10 years and still love your productions and your passion for music.
Take care of your health and ear !
Greetings from Montreal, Canada !

Thanks for the support man! I really appreciate it. I should have some new tunes out real soon.
I was always so impressed with your passion for music and I must say that going to those raves and seeing you perform was soo much fun and probably one of the most exciting things I ever did in High School!!!

Vitamin D,
You have been my idol since I can remember. You come from my native town (Denver, CO). I’ve moved here to the big city (NYC) to pursue what you have already had. I’m heartbroken to hear about your hearing loss.
Your #1 Fan & Friend,
J. “MersyOne” Ortiz
