The Lab NYC is Mixmag and Smirnoff Sound Collective's weekly afterwork party where we stream the best American and international DJs from the intimate space connected to our Brooklyn office. This Friday, Mixmag will be getting down with the legendary Mushroom Jazz originator, Mark Farina.
Fresh off the release of ‘Mushroom Jazz 8’, celebrating 25 years of the acclaimed compilation series, Mark Farina is proving he’s still one of the best selectors around. The Chicago native develop his own distinct style in the early ‘90s and when he relocated to San Francisco he played a major role in developing the city’s dance music landscape.
Early in his career, Farina established a passionate and zealous following for his unique sound and in 1996, OM Records released the first Mushroom Jazz mix compilation that firmly cemented his place as a leading trendsetter in the scene. Other notable releases include ‘OMʼs Seasons’, ‘San Francisco Sessions Vol. 1’, ‘Connect’, ‘House of Om’, ‘Live in Tokyo’, and ‘Fabric 40’, which all showcasing his dynamic and innovative approach to dance music.
Today you can find Farina traveling the world putting his taste-making ability on full display, captivating both seasoned dance music veterans and newcomers to the scene. Catch him on the Mushroom Jazz 8 Tour with stops in Philadelphia, Honolulu, San Francisco, Denver and more.

[@jelig72]

love Mark and all house music. Deep house, funky house, disco house, progressive house, etc. . . . I'm 46 and my friend and I went and saw Jimpster last weekend downtown, he absolutely killed it. Too bad all the youngins were standing around while the 30/40 somethings were bouncin all night. ZFG

[@eduardotirado839]

theGid Soooo true. 52 and I don’t stand around like a kook looking at my cell. Music like that is meant to be torn up at the dance floor...

[@amyparra1881]

Agreed

[@buttface5630]

They don't care because he's not jumping around doing unnecessary cuts and effects. That's what they call djing these days. Beautiful mixing is the best like this. This is a house d.j.!

[@TheChichief]

Nobody can touch this guy. Way beyond. An actual artiste.

[@chrisstussy]

First track: Chris Stussy - Soul Patrol - thanks for the support Mark Farina!

[@RockstahRolln]

Great job! :)

[@Kostly]

I can't believe this dude came to a tiny club in Greenville, SC and spun a killer set. So humble and willing. Great guy, Mark Farina is. I'm a fan forever.

[@JuanGarcia-if7np]

What a great night that night.. Also put me on Farina forever! #yeahthatgreenville

[@tigerbuns007]

Hell yeah..

[@jacktherip7750]

Alll Newbies must stay with the mouth closed and try to listen to the KLegend...mushroom jazz in my

[@sarahc8916]

I saw him in Liverpool, UK about 2 years ago, blew my mind

[@tylerdurden7310]

Saw him in New York on a boat last year. He was spinning on the top deck while it was raining outside and no one cared.. just kept dancing away.

[@AWAX0824]

No doubt..Was that a SOUP party? Pretty sure I remember getting an invite to that. Nuttin like House on the Hudson!

[@oldirtyjosh]

Mark sets off the endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin in my body.

[@drkdrumz]

No fancy EFX.....just great track selection.

[@bruceleekickyoassfu]

crowds dont move like they used to in the 90's. this is proper house music,

[@sarahhill9221]

I think to a lot of people this is more chill type music. I would probably be bopping my head and grooving but not outright breaking down. Just my take. Where if it were Fatboy Slim or Justice or something I'd be wilding out.

[@homosexualpanic]

Nah mate, I'd be smashing out shapes to this

[@heriatm2771]

That's what I thought...real tame, if not lame :p

[@chrisdshaw]

Great set- So sad for the self-conscious 20-somethings now- in my younger days I would have spanked it to it

[@joelvasta799]

Chris Shaw no steps in the crowd, whatsoever lol, that underground garage thing is long gone.

[@jonathonstrand4106]

Remembering back - '99 to '05 When we used to hit the clubs hitting up them Love Family parties back in the day in LA or at the OM in P-Town! Miss ya buddy! Glad to hear you're still doing what you do best Mark. People like you, DJSNEAK and the old Renegade Crew helped me set free and cut loose when I needed it. Now I bump this shit in kitchens I run for all the youngster cooks in my employ! Whut?!

[@marcuslandaverde3856]

THE MAN WHO GOT ME HOOKED ! San Francisco sessions 1 “ I always felt great unconscious therapy the concept of dancing around “ NO OTHER DJ LIKE HIM !

[@deepthunder1034]

You already know!!!!

[@juniyananajukyu]

Man, I'm just lucky to have seen him live with Derrick Carter! Legends!!

[@rawbinmo]

[@emelo2043]

This guy is so sick that I don’t even think he knows how siiiiiick he is 😷 since buying that record with the airplane on it back in the 90’s is been straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@berylturner1455]

This set so takes me back to when he used to spin at Shelter Chicago...just nice and groove!

[@danieldasilva8991]

Mark Farina ...legendary house master....timeless sound and track selection.

[@TheChichief]

This feels like a set I heard in the late 90’s in Chicago. Either a party, Mad Bar or Smart Bar. Simply the best DJ on the planet.

[@sondyakter3829]

[@Denmcauliffe]

I love this from start to finish!!!!!!!!! Great mix, awesome selection!

[@StumpMasterFlex1970]

Wow. The Best DJ on the planet for the last 20 plus years. No other DJ can replicate Farina at true form. Innovative, inspiring, unique and legendary. Gods do live amongst us.

[@floordoctor]

Yawn. Not even real house music, most of it. Bompity, boring-ass, simple loopy, west coast nonsense. Mark was great in the 90s. Awful now. Yuck. Best DJ? Not even top 900 all time. Nice try though. House Music? Maybe top 500. Maybe...

[@ozlinia1]

i wouldn't go that far man you seriously need to get out more. This set was average.

[@fullfunk]

u dont know jack farina dj sneak gene farris house gangster

[@StephenBatty]

[@joaocmmartins]

pure house music...

[@monikatashjian2301]

This is just what I needed.... feeling alive , thank you.

[@inkeyfingers8233]

I was lucky enough to hear Fraina play a really nice, funky, force-you-to-dance set last summer at a boat party around from a pier in ny around the Statue of Liberty and back. tossing in re-edits left and right. It was really 50% Make U Dance and 50% Make You Play "What's that riff From??" superb. I'm a lucky girl sometimes!

[@sx1031]

Awesomeee opportunity glad u attended it 🎉🎉🎉

[@jamesschoning9097]

Mr Farina never disappoints.

[@mch3ss]

That's why you're still the best!!

[@hambone5547]

It's rare that I ask a dj...who is this. I did, 15 years ago, and so happy I did.

[@francoisjoubert8940]

Just beautiful! Chicago house is really special.

[@pinks1000]

So brilliant.!

[@jasonp6589]

Love every minute of this mix, train wreaks and all!!! Viva la house music!!!

[@jasonvega2657]

Few rough mixes yes. I bet the monitors had a lot of feedback one of the things not good when playing new venues. The lab is held responsible it’s important to have a dj test it out beforehand

[@notevenea8277]

once again Marky Mark delivers the goods

[@MrBoundji]

Incredible track selection....

[@busywl69]

a master at work

[@bensmith372]

[@matthewvandenbranden8643]

Cant wait for Mr. Farina & House Gansta Dj Sneak in Chicago sometime in November! House heals my weary soul... ♡

[@adana4670]

dj sneak and mark Farina dope

[@adamrobertson135]

Those are the two DJs I've been listening to lately and their sets are so on the money, I'm tempted to make the trip - £1100 for a gig? I've done it before but it was more like £600 or so - Vesquez at Sound Factory........we'll see. Enjoy if you go, hopefully see you there xx

[@keithmolloseau6907]

The Both of them together, my gosh... lol

[@joshkane6417]

Still on top. What a legend

[@demasean7121]

i remember seeing this guy in the city when i was a kid when he was starting out man the memories.

[@Eri3t5co]

Good music forever. Mark = quality

[@djjerome]

I like how he plays the newer stuff and then drops some old school like kleeer and carl bean to open up the newbie's minds to the true classics. Nice.

[@anwarbrown2981]

one of today's best !

[@atlantapistons]

He was getting it in! Nice set

[@jennys6087]

Groove master!

[@treeman_mj]

First time I saw him live was at the Atlantis rave in Oakland right under 880 around 2000 I believe. One of the craziest parties i went to a lot of crazy shit went down that night. Highlight of it all for me was Mark’s set, it was the first time I started loving house music. I miss those days

[@thomasrochet3475]

im feel soooo good tanks for the brilliant set.

[@jonchristensen7372]

All good!!

[@frederick-nrunkkamara103]

You guys in NY can certainly get down and party.

[@shamsheerg7519]

Proper House Music... the crowd has no clue 1:12

[@marciathedj8088]

+ShamSheerG I agree with you. It is so sad to see this - a bunch of posers, (most of them) clueless. Not just because it's Mark who is criminally underrated talent, but over and over I see these recordings and in 95% of them when it features a seasoned veteran talent the crowd are predominantly on their mobile phones, and hardly any react to the music - where are the dancers? Big respect to Mark Farina he is a shining star and what a selection of tunes - goodness! 👏💕👌💃

This crowd are in the presence of one of the masters and don't even realise it

[@shazam1522]

consumer tastes have changed. sad to say. the kids who loved house music have kids now who love edm.

[@marciathedj8088]

Shyam Doshi thankfully my daughter doesn't and nor do any of my friends' children like EDM - it has no substance and rightfully disposal.

[@Isaaclopez-xg5uf]

Saw him play last night for the 2nd time, GOAT!

[@davidhyland8834]

24 and still loving it❤

[@mycallskerzy4839]

Thank you soooo very much Mark!

[@fredadda9787]
