MARK FARINA TAKES OFF WITH ‘AIR FARINA’ OCTOBER 7 ON OM RECORDS;
LONG TIME HOUSE MUSIC STAPLE RELEASES DEBUT ARTIST ALBUM
OM Records will release AIR FARINA, the long anticipated debut artist album of all original material from MARK FARINA October 7. Designed with a transcontinental flight concept, Air Farina incorporates a variety of travel themes in Mark’s original productions. Joining in on the sonic travels are special guests Kaskade, People Under the Stairs, Sean Haynes and Lance Desardi.
Known around the world for performing his two legendary DJ styles: instrumental hip-hop mixed with jazzy soul known as Mushroom Jazz and chunky funky Chicago style house sets found on his compilations San Francisco Sessions and Connect, Mark has been voted in the “Top DJ’s in the World” by BPM, DJ and MUZIK magazines. Consistently touring year round playing to over 300,000 club goers a year, it’s hard to believe someone so well traveled could have time to put together his own material.
Recording under aliases Urban Backcountry and Bernal Boogie on his Mushroom Jazz series, it wasn’t until Connect that Mark made his debut material under his own name with the quirky club classic “Radio”. Mark explains, “The sound will be similar to the original tracks I added to my different compilations. I tried to include both tempos in my album giving it a little of my “mushroom” flavor and of course the weird Chicago/SF house goodies”.
