New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Om Records) - After a sizzling August debut at the Sullivan Room, San Francisco's singular MARK FARINA is returning to New York on Saturday April 5th. The legendary house music troubadour – one of the most in-demand DJs in the world – absolutely tore the house down in his Sully debut. Now he's headed back for another intimate DJ session at NYC's top underground venue. For NYC househeads not in attendance for the first night with the master, this will be a party they won't want to miss.
The April visit will be a continuation of Farina's "Live in Tokyo" CD tour, celebrating the OM Records release of his latest mix.
Although
Mark has become an accomplished producer and remixer, his live DJing skills is what he's all about and they truly come to the forefront on this CD. Recorded live in one shot at an OM Records party in Tokyo,
Mark skillfully brings the energy up and down, working the EQs to accentuate the grooves as he rolls through a bag's worth of cutting edge house tracks.
Few DJs have had a more profound impact on house music than Mark Farina. The Chicagoan turned San Franciscan has influenced an entire generation of dancers, producers and DJs with his unique and uncompromising approach to music. He has been a key figure in building and developing the international "underground" house scene, and continues to be one of the most satisfying DJs to rock a dancefloor.
From his mix CDs to original music to his pioneering downtempo "Mushroom Jazz" collaborations, Mark has earned legions of fans worldwide. But nothing can top the thrill of seeing Mark live, where his DJing skills can truly come to the fore. Swiftly dropping acapellas over tracks, cutting out basslines, and moving flawlessly from one ridiculous cut to another, Mark never fails to electrify a dancefloor. Mix Mark's dynamic skills with the charged up atmosphere of Basic NYC's Sullivan Room events, and his appearance will undoubtedly be another memorable night on the dancefloor.
