We are thrilled to have legendary Chicago House and Downtempo DJ and Producer Mark Farina kicking off his new monthly “Mushroom Jazz” residency here on OpenLab! 
The first episode is a downtempo adventure inspired by a late 90’s trip to Ibiza. Don’t miss out:

"Somewhere around 1999/2000, DJ Sneak and I arrived in Ibiza, but our luggage, including our vinyl crates did not. We spent the next 36 hours driving back and forth from the Saint Eulalia area checking for our vinyl after every flight with our airline. This was pre-cell phone era, so communication was sparse at best. After at least 6-8 trips back and forth, they arrived on the last flight possible to have records for our gig. This is a downtempo adventure inspired by those drives across the island. " - https://soundcloud.com/djmarkfarina

Mushroom Jazz 01 - Mark Farina

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。

-このミックスのコンセプトを教えて下さい。

これはロンドンのクラブBasing Houseでプレイした時のライヴ・ミックスだ。
300人規模の箱だったけど、素晴らしいFunktion-Oneのサウンドシステムが設備されていたよ。
ここでは1人のDJが一晩中プレイするというスタイルでパーティをおこなっているんだ。
このミックスは早い時間にプレイしていたMushroom Jazzのセットだね。
オープンから沢山のお客さんが踊りに来てくれて、楽しかったことを覚えているよ。

I woke up with an urge to play some downtempo/hip hop/mushroom jazz so I got on Sugar Shack Recordings and did just that.  Hot tea and whiskey helped me to get things rolling.  Hope you dig it and share.  Cheers :-)

Mushroom Jazz With Kochi On Sugar Shack Recordings 492016

The Mushroom Jazz series is well known among lovers of downtempo beats as the signature sound of Mark Farina, but simultaneous to the creation of that famous project was his Downtempo Forest series of mixtapes. This is number 6 from 1996 featuring KRS-One, Fat Joe, Common, Mad Skillz, and some seriously funky acid jazz wafting through the mix. One to chill on. Enjoy!
