Name: MxExQ - Black Friday (A Deep and Dark 80's Inspired Excursion) by Mark E Quark
Duration: 2 h 8 min 8 s
Description: What began as a mix of deep, dark 80s cuts inevitably transformed into a chuggier, more psychedelic journey...inspired by my recent guest appearance at my friend Vaughn Avakian's Black Friday night at the Whistle Stop here in San Diego. Hope you enjoy.

On this month’s show we pay tribute to the godfather of neo soul: D’Angelo, who sadly passed away this week. We dip into the past with psychedelic Latin folk from Venezuela and Colombia & early 90s street soul from Brazil, before taking a glimpse at the future of Latin music with Coco Maria’s latest compilation. Further east, there’s beautiful music from Sudan’s Taz Waves, Palestine’s Saied Silbak, and Iran’s Parisa Ramezan, plus new tunes from the likes of Nightmares On Wax, Mystic Jungle & Demae.

Known for blending deep-house warmth, 80s italo sparkle, and synth-driven nostalgia, Lauer once again proves why his sound hits that sweet spot between dreamy and dance-ready.

"Rissa Garcia is a celebrated New York house DJ, producer, and NightChild Records label boss, widely regarded as a driving force within NYC's underground dance music scene. Influenced by her Staten Island upbringing and the legendary atmosphere of clubs like Vinyl, where Danny Tenaglia's sets captivated her, Rissa’s career has been shaped by a deep connection to House Music. That moment of discovery remains her "Paradise Garage" spark, fueling her passion for crafting immersive experiences on dance floors across the city and beyond.

Over nearly two decades, Rissa has earned her place among the greats, sharing decks with icons such as Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, Danny Krivit, Kenny Dope, and TODD TERRY, among others. Praised for her ability to seamlessly blend house, funk, soul, classics, and beyond, her sets reflect a nuanced mastery designed to move bodies and unite spirits.

As the founder of "Dancing Room Only," Rissa champions authentic club culture, crafting spaces where the music takes center stage and the crowd reconnects. Her ethos is simple yet powerful: put the phones down, feel the beat, and dance together.

Her work with NightChild Records, relaunched in 2018, showcases her commitment to advancing house music’s artistry. With a catalog approaching 100 releases—including collaborations with legends like Todd Terry—her label has become a hub for soulful, high-quality productions. Her releases also appear on distinguished labels like Plastik People Recordings and Rhythm & Culture.

Rissa’s talent has drawn accolades from peers and legends alike— King Britt called her "unreal," Tony Humphries hailed her as "an immense talent," and Danny Tenaglia praised her selections and mixing as "wonderful." A DJ, producer, event curator, and label head, Rissa Garcia is not just a standout artist; she’s an untapped gem whose dedication to NYC’s house music heritage continues to resonate globally."

In a pinch, if forced to employ adjectives to describe the Mark E. Quark style, one would come up with words like “groovy, laid back and nasty” house music. But putting grammar aside, it’s reasonable to just say that Quark has internalized influences from DJ Harvey, Idjut Boys, Jeno, and Andrew Weatherall, mashed them up, and given life to a signature style and a creature which is totally unique. This creature is currently brought to life for public consumption  at Moonshake in San Diego.
