Mark Farina

シカゴ出身、サンフランシスコを拠点に活躍中のアーティスト。90年代初頭からDJとして世界中をまわり、年間100本以上ものギグでプレイ。跳ねる様な音色のトラックを超人的かつ卓越したスキルとセンスでミックスするDJスタイルにより、北米はもとより世界中からファンを獲得、西海岸のシーンを代表するトップ・アーティストとして君臨し続けている。日本では2006年に野外フェスティヴァルMetamorphoseにヘッドライナーとして登場。2つのステージにて異なるコンセプトでDJをおこない、多くの観衆を魅了した。翌年の2007年には、今は無き伝説のクラブSpace Lab Yellowの単独公演と共に、Liquidroomでのom:tokyoでもプレイ。その内容を収録したミックスCD『Live in Tokyo』をリリースし、大きな話題を呼んだ。2008年には世界的に最も評価を受けているミックスCD『Fabric』の40番を担当した。イギリスが誇る名門クラブでの架空の一夜をコンパイルした内容を抜群の選曲と類まれなグルーヴで表現し、更に多くの支持を集めることになった。近年は同郷でもあるDerrick Carter、DJ Sneakと活動を共にしており、ベルギーで開催されている世界最大級のダンスミュージック・フェスティヴァルTomorrowlandにて、3人によるバック・トゥ・バック・トゥ・バックを2012年から披露している。この特別なパフォーマンスはイビザが最も盛り上がるサマー・シーズンのPachaでもおこなわれている。また1992年からスタートした自身のパーティーMushroom Jazzは、ジャジーなヒップホップからダビーなダウンテンポ・トラックを中心に構成され、同名のミックスCDとして現在まで7作品を発表する人気シリーズとなっている。ある意味、対極ともいえる二面性を表現し続けられるのも、幅広い音楽性を持つMark Farinaならではのスタイルといえるだろう。

Downbeatin'

For our second Distrikt Podcast we welcome the exceptional selector @markfarina(mushroom jazz / great lake audio recordings) for a hour and half of his signature blend of house!

Since 1989, Mark Farina has been traveling the globe performing at literally hundreds of shows a year, sometimes DJing both of his preferred styles in two different rooms at the same party. At other events, he's been known to play extended sets that lasted over eight hours. In his House sets, Mark is known for his uniquely effortless journeys on the jazzy side of Chicago House, mixed up San Fran style.

This wandering record minstrel has played to incredible crowds all over the globe. Consistently drawing new fans to his style of chunky-funky rhythms and deep underground house, Mark plays upwards of 200 shows to over one million (1,000,000) club goers per year. Voted in the top 20 DJ's in the world by MUZIK and BPM Magazine, his taste making skills continue to turn the heads of seasoned veterans as well as youngsters just getting into the music.

On CD, Mark has recorded both of his dominant musical personalities. His first mix, 'Mushroom Jazz' on Om Records, is defined by a hip-hop sub-groove with jazzy, dubby elements in the downtempo range. It was followed by 'Seasons', a critically acclaimed House mix. An Imperial Dub mixed CD, a guest slot in the pedigreed 'United DJs of America' series, 'Mushroom Jazz 2' (Om Records) and 'San Francisco Sessions, Vol. I' (Om Records) and Mushroom Jazz 3 (Om Records) to round out the Farina catalog. His past release "Connect" walks the line of San Francisco deeper and the bumpin' funky house sound of Chicago. Now, in November of 2002, Mark Farina releases his much beloved fourth volume of Mushroom Jazz.

DJ Heather B., also known as Heather Besos, has been rocking parties big and small, since highschool! For 26 years she has been holding her own with the best knob turners, headliners, and red-liners in the industry. She has really honed her DJ skills for good in the world and free drink tickets. She can roller skate without falling, well most of the time. She enjoys hikes in the redwoods with Goldie, the dog, cooking and eating with her hubby, Mario, sunbathing with her chicas, and sings a mean karaoke.


It all began in El Paso, Texas, the sister city of Juarez Mexico, in 1996. Heather was 14 years old and she traded her pointe shoes and opera music sheets for the expensive hobby of record collecting and the inexpensive hobby of cutting up rugs at undergrounds. Heather Besos picked up beat matching and blending quickly. She was welcomed with open arms into El Paso’s house music scene in May of 1996. She moved to New Mexico in February of 1997, where she frequented the UN (Underground Nation). She was part of Cosmic Kids, who’s first event was in May 1997. The year 1998 marked one of Heather B's first residencies, “Rapture”, where she was fortunate enough to play alongside Mark Farina. Before moving to California, Heather would work at Revolutions Record Shop.
 
In 1999 and into the early 2000’s, Heather would come and record hunt in San Francisco, making friends with her fellow DJs and dancers. In August of 2004, Heather packed up her record collection and moved to the Bay Area. Her first gig was at Stylus at the Oasis in Oakland, the first weekend she arrived. She had an ongoing weekly Saturday night residency at San Francisco’s Lingba Lounge from 2004-2006. Heather lived in SF’s Lower Haight district with friend, mentor, and housemate Roam Records’ Chad Mitchell from about 2006- 2015. DJing bars and clubs such as Wish, The Top, Anu, Butter, Mars Bar, The Shadow Lounge, Snow Drift, End-Up, Mighty, Triple Crown, and the South Bay's Cardiff Lounge. 


Heather Besos has now been residing in Oakland since October 2015. She founded the Bay Area Roller Group in 2020. She currently helps produce and DJ free day parties such as TikiFunk & Lovely Day with Mario Dubbz and friends in Oakland, CA. Over the last two and a half decades Heather B. has been winning over crowds and dance floors with her knowledge of music, track selection, and smoother than Goldie's fur coat mixing styles. She has played alongside a growing list of respected names such as Tony Hewitt, Hipp-e, Garth, Jeno, Chris Lum, Gene Hunt, Rick Preston, JT Donaldson, Joshua Iz, Diz, DJ Heather, Dehota, Collette, Joshua Heath, DJ Dan, Mark Farina, Wally Callerio, Doc Martin, Mr. V, Roger Sanchez, & Mood II Swing.
