Who is Mark Farina?
“Mark Farina is a person that loves music and loves to
share it. That's my goal, get new music and share it, be it
my music or other people's. On top of that always trying to
be doing a positive thing, keeping things friendly and nice
and being aware of the surroundings. “
Shortly after
Mark befriended Derrick Carter in 1988 at a record store in
Chicago, his passion for House music, and sharing it with
the world, exploded. Mark experimented with a deeper style,
dropping De La Soul, disco classics and other stuff that
wasn’t being played in the main rooms of nightclubs. While
exploring his love for the purist forms of House Music,
Mark developed his trademark style: Mushroom Jazz; acid
jazz infused with the West Coast’s jazzy, organic
productions along with urban beats. Fans embraced Mark’s
downtempo style so much that he started a weekly Mushroom
Jazz club night in San Francisco with Patty Ryan. In 3
short years, the club established a fanatical, cult-like
following for Farina and the Mushroom Jazz sound. When the
doors closed, Farina continued the tradition by releasing a
series of Cds, “Mushroom Jazz”. Since then, Mark has been
traveling the globe performing 100s of shows, to over one
million club goers, a year. His House sets take fans on
journeys to the jazzy side of Chicago House mixed San Fran
style. Some of these sets have been known to last up to 8
hours. And sometimes you’ll find Mark playing in two
different rooms at the same party, showcasing his range of
rocking the big room sound to the uber-chill. Farina’s
taste making skills continue to turn the heads of crowds
worldwide and consistently draw new fans to his style of
chunky–funky rhythms and deep underground house. URB, MUZIK
and BPM Magazines have all had him on their Top DJ’s In The
World lists
