Mark FarinaMark Farina is on tour right now celebrating his latest release on Great Lakes Audio "Geograffiti". Not only will Mark be laying down some of the sickest house beats in the main room, we've also convinced him to once again start the night off downstairs in the lounge to deliver his signature "Mushroom Jazz" sound. Also, can't forget to mention we'll also be celebrating our boy RayRay's(Phono Jones aka Scotch Bonet Soundcrew) birthday, happy bday Ray!!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 wasnt 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 Coasts jazzy, organic productions along with urban beats.Fans embraced Marks 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.
