Mark Farina

A Night of Mushroom Jazz to Funky Disco House

DJ Mark Farina has solidified himself in the world of Dance Music as a trailblazing DJ, Producer, tastemaker and bona fide House Music icon. After 3 decades crisscrossing the globe, he shows no signs of slowing down, but remains innovative, humble, and firmly rooted in the underground.“I look at my job as being a ‘modern day traveling minstrel’, bringing new music to as many places as I can and exposing audiences to obscure records that otherwise might go hidden.”As an early House Music pioneer in the late 80’s, Farina’s history includes an impressive long standing residency at Smart Bar Chicago and a job at the legendary Gramaphone Records. In the 90s, Mark pushed musical boundaries and blended genres to create “Mushroom Jazz”.
