Here is the final installment in our MF50 series of live recordings from Mark Farina's all star jam at the Great Northern in San Francisco March 22 2019. After lighting the upstairs room on fire with an epic Mushroom Jazz set, Mark kept it going for another 2 hours in the main room picking up where Derrick Carter left up. It was such a special night and this was the capstone on the whole affair. Enjoy!

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.

"Mixes are time capsules of sound.  Each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way.  Each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination.  These are soundtracks for daily living..."
