MARK FARINA SETS OFF ON U.S. ‘AIR FARINA’ TOUR THIS OCTOBER
“This just might be the best traveling record since Kraftwerk’s Autobahn — but you don’t need to be in an airplane or car to take the journey, the dance floor will do nicely.”
— Ernie Rideout, KEYBOARD, October 2003
MARK FARINA, the influential San Francisco-based DJ and house producer, will set off this fall on a national tour in support of his debut artist album, AIR FARINA. Kicking off in Dallas at Minc on October 3, the month-long tour will take Mark through major markets such as Seattle, Detroit, Minneapolis and New York before landing at the Abbey in San Diego on October 31.
Set for release on October 7 on OM Records, Mark Farina’s long-anticipated long-player AIR FARINA is a must-have for fans of soulful house laced with instrumental hip-hop. States a review by Craig Roseberry from the October issue ofBPM, “With Air Farina, the seasoned veteran merges all of his musical influences into one electrifying, cohesive and seamlessly melded musical statement based around a transcontinental flight theme. The album serves up an enjoyable variety of musical flavors and moods. These are lead by the pulsating first single ‘To Do’ (featuring label-mate Kaskade), the bouncy and sampladelic Detroit-house flavored jam ‘Betcha Do’ and the hazy stargazing groove ‘Dream Machine’ (with Sean Hayes). Also particularly satisfying are the Herbert-meets-Swag click-house masterpieces ‘Dropped Into Water’ and ‘We Gotta Get’ and the leftfield hip-hop excursion ‘Travel’ (featuring People Under The Stairs). Farina more than delivers the goods with this impressive collection of essential tunes . . .”
