MARK FARINA [ OM, Great Lakes Audio, APT ]

JUAN ZAPATA [ OAE | ELM ]

"I look at my job as a modern day traveling minstrel, to bring new music to as many places as I can, and expose obscure records that, otherwise, might go hidden." While Mark Farina may be able to sum up his job description in a sentence, there is much more to be written.

Mark developed his musical tastes in Chicago - listening to house music on the radio, living in one of the country's most primordial breeding grounds for house. Around '88, while record shopping at Imports, Etc., he met Derrick Carter and a friendship began. "I just ended up there between classes, I ended up buying his picks. He steered me toward the cutting edge House producers of the time."

"I started playing when I lived with my parents and didn't have any bills to pay so I could just buy records. My intentions were never to just make money, it's nice, but it's kind of turned into a job by accident - it was a hobby that turned into a job."

Living together and working on tracks together along with Chris Nazuka, they utilized the tight connections between the Detroit and Chicago scenes. Fondly, Mark remembers hanging out listening to Detroit Techno classics - Model 500, Derrick May - eating bologne sandwiches on white bread and drinking Kool-Aid out of a paper cup, prepared by none other than Chef Saunderson himself. In '89, they signed on Kevin Saunderson's KMS Records under the Symbols in Instruments moniker and produced a landmark track called "Mood". "Mood" sold 35,000+ copies in the US and the UK. This record was the first ambient house track ever made and, accordingly, it has taken its position as a classic. The same year, The Face magazine published their year end Top 50 with "Mood" ranking above pop anthems by Dee-Lite and The Pet Shop Boys.

"I used to do mixes with Derrick on the radio at Northwestern, we'd make it at the house and listen to it on the lake where they filmed 'Risky Business'. We would drive around and listen 89.3 WNUR; they had a policy, guest DJs didn't have to be students." Eventually, the University changed their policy and only students were allowed to DJ.

When Farina first started wandering from his passion for the purist forms of House into what grew into one of his trademark styles, Mushroom Jazz, he was playing the main room in a club in Chicago and got demoted to the B-room after playing too many Martin Luther King Jr. samples. Mark experimented with a deeper style, dropping De La Soul, disco classics and other stuff that wasn't being played in the main room. However, in 1992, Mark found a welcome place for his collection of downtempo tunes accompanied by a small run of mix tapes entitled "Mushroom Jazz". Originally launched as a cassette series, the Mushroom Jazz tapes grew from the first Chicago run of 50 copies each…on to the next stage, where 500 copies of several volumes were easily distributed and sought after. As the Acid Jazz boom began, he perfected his sound and fused the newest tracks from the West Coast's jazzy, organic producers with the more urban sounds he had championed in Chicago. While the predominant musical force in SF was still dark, dubby House and Wicked-style Breaks, the city embraced the downtempo movement with a healthy bunch of live bands and DJs generating the tunes.

Mark Farina, along with partner, and manager, Patty Ryan-Smith, created the now legendary weekly club in San Francisco, Mushroom Jazz, in 1992. Every Monday night the crowd slowly germinated - from 100 for the first few months to 600-700 two years later. As time passed, Farina and Patty put their energies into another project, the first Mushroom Jazz interactive CD-ROM for Om Records. After a three year run, where the club had established a fanatical, cult-like following for Farina and the Mushroom Jazz sound, the club closed its doors and transformed into a CD series and accompanying tours.

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.

[MyKi]

[Joe L.]

<3

[Joe L.]

Mark is gonna destroy eyebar.

[Joe L.]

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

[housecat]

I am so hyped for this I took that Friday off. It's gonna be on.

[justgaia]

I hope I have money!!! I LOVE MARK FARINA!!!!!!!!!!

[housecat]

$10. You can't beat that at all.

w00000000000t

[hazeleyes8178]

Charly, Cliff, Dina(and whoever else wants in), let's all meet up and head over together. I am SOO FUCKING PUMPED for this!

[housecat]

YES! I just saw this. I'm going to dinner w/Phill before this so we can have nonparty time hanging out before he leaves for the land of the Thais. Cap City Brewery in Union Station. Maybe we could all meet up there for some beers if anyone is interested. Either way yay to seeing Erica soon :)

[The Logic Theorist]

YES! I just saw this. I'm going to dinner w/Phill before this so we can have nonparty time hanging out before he leaves for the land of the Thais. Cap City Brewery in Union Station. Maybe we could all meet up there for some beers if anyone is interested. Either way yay to seeing Erica soon :)

Yeah, Erica and whoever else doesn't suck is welcome to do this dinner thing with us.

[Joe L.]

We gotta get Phil drunk!

[The Logic Theorist]

We gotta get Phil drunk!

I'm pretty sure that's gonna happen either way... but I certainly won't turn down any help. ;)

[housecat]

I took the next day off so I'm just warning you all now. I'm not leaving til that last records is done and I'm being shoved outta there.

Can't. Wait. Phill, you my friend, are gonna hate life the next day. mwahhaaaa.

[chickpea]

I took the next day off so I'm just warning you all now. I'm not leaving til that last records is done and I'm being shoved outta there.

Can't. Wait. Phill, you my friend, are gonna hate life the next day. mwahhaaaa.

I wish I could take off the next day. I'm going to be hating life next Friday. :(

[The Logic Theorist]

I took the next day off so I'm just warning you all now. I'm not leaving til that last records is done and I'm being shoved outta there.

Can't. Wait. Phill, you my friend, are gonna hate life the next day. mwahhaaaa.

I'll have plenty of time to pass out on the overnight train ride to Chi-town.

[spiggums]

I fully intend to attend this party.

[Joe L.]

I do recommend people get there early... Farina use to pack FIVE with lines around the corner. Eyebar is smaller than FIVE. And it's $10 Vs. $25. You do the math.

[ao125]

Hell yes!

[housecat]

No kidding, Joe. It's going to be a madhouse. I'm shooting to get there at like 10pm.

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

you should do presales somehow! :(


or i will just get there super early

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

No kidding, Joe. It's going to be a madhouse. I'm shooting to get there at like 10pm.

pfft! im getting there at 9:30!

:D

actually i dunno. but maybe.

[housecat]

LOL. 9:30pm is not a bad idea honestly. I never made it to Five for Farina and heard how insanely packed it would get. I'm a little scared but it's going to be goooooooood.

[The Logic Theorist]

I plan on being downstairs for happy hour around 7ish.

[Joe L.]

you should do presales somehow! :(


or i will just get there super early

We actually wanted to do pre-sales.... but Eyebar suggested first come, first serve was the way to go since we set the cover at ten bucks.....

It does mean more people getting there earlier since that's the best way to guarantee entry w/o pre-sales.

[housecat]

I plan on being downstairs for happy hour around 7ish.
Wait, what? Are we doing dinner that day or what? I plan on leaving work on time @ 4:30pm so we can hang and get to Eyebar early.

[The Logic Theorist]

Wait, what? Are we doing dinner that day or what? I plan on leaving work on time @ 4:30pm so we can hang and get to Eyebar early.

Yes, yes, we are doing dinner. Sorry, momentary space-out. Either way, AFAIK Eyebar will be open downstairs before the upstairs is, I plan on being there for a few drinks ahead of time and ducking out to pay the cover once the door person is there.

[Catalyst]

Charly, Cliff, Dina(and whoever else wants in), let's all meet up and head over together. I am SOO FUCKING PUMPED for this!

Says the girl who can't return a phone call. :catalyst:

[housecat]

Sounds like a plan.

So. Screwed. You. Are. I'll bring some ibuprofen and gatorade for ya.

[ao125]

Yes, yes, we are doing dinner. Sorry, momentary space-out. Either way, AFAIK Eyebar will be open downstairs before the upstairs is, I plan on being there for a few drinks ahead of time and ducking out to pay the cover once the door person is there.

Same here. I'd like to get there around 7-ish, grab some dinner from someplace around Eyebar, and down a few before the night begins.

[housecat]

Says the girl who can't return a phone call. :catalyst:
Asshole!

:FUBAR:

[Catalyst]

uh oh, dina is drunk again.

[ao125]

uh oh, dina is drunk again.

That is grossly inaccurate. She is drunk most of the time and her days are sometimes peppered with moments of sobriety.

[housecat]

That is grossly inaccurate. She is drunk most of the time and her days are sometimes peppered with moments of sobriety.
Quoted for truth.

Man, I wish I remembered to bring the baileys to work for my coffee today. Dammit.

[The Logic Theorist]

That is grossly inaccurate. She is drunk most of the time and her days are sometimes peppered with moments of sobriety.

... I'm not really seeing the issue here.

Unless you two have forgotten our motto as you've become rapidly domesticated.

[Catalyst]

No issue, just stating the fact that Dina is a lush.

[housecat]

This is indeed fact. I just realized I never changed my user title thing. Ever. I don't think. Wow. I've been on this bitch 7 years.

FML.

[The Logic Theorist]

This is indeed fact. I just realized I never changed my user title thing. Ever. I don't think. Wow. I've been on this bitch 7 years.

FML.

Does that stand for "Fuck My Laziness"?

[housecat]

It can.

I went out at lunch specifically to go to my bank and discuss something with them. Instead, I got a sub and am now in the back eating. So much for getting shit done at lunch today.

<------ Miss Lazy Extreme

[Joe L.]

You're all lushes!!! ;)

[DjLantern]

10 bucks

And I'll be bringing some out of town guests with me!

[Joe L.]

Nice one! See ya there

[mr2157]

Mark Farina and ELM for the mothafukin' win!

[Joe L.]

I hope peeps noticed the beer specials for the night too....

[ao125]

I hope peeps noticed the beer specials for the night too....

$4 is a lot for a can of water.

[housecat]

Not in DC it's not. I'm gonna be drinking Stellas like whoa. yum yum gimme some. Can't wait for this.

[Joe L.]

this week!

[Transmattic]

this is going to be mad fun. gotta catch a 7:30 flight the next morning but fuck it, Farina is one of the most consistantly awesome DJs I've ever seen. Dude has a library of tunes that is pure gold

[Joe L.]

Def don't want to miss Farina if you're a fan..... w/o M3 I don't know how often he's going to make it to DC.

[MyKi]

I've already come to grips with that fact that Friday will be a long day for me. Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Woo - Hoo!! Farina FTW!

[justgaia]

I am so bummed I can't go to this. :(

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]

its funny that it takes mark farina on the bill in order for an ELM thread to get as much attention as it deserves. these guys throw some of the best parties in DC on the regular. maybe some of you that have shown an interest in this party will remember that next time you see an ELM thread that doesn't have Farina in it.


thursday looks like its gonna be bananas...
really wish i could be in 2 places at once!

[Joe L.]

Thanks for the love bruv!

[DJ Psymon]

Oh i forgot about this... I may be bringing through some big wigs from the law firm and our finance group for this... who should I talk to about a table?

[Joe L.]

You can reserve through the site.

Not. At. Work.

:neener:

[MURAMASA]

Oof - looks like I'm working Friday after all. It's gonna be a rough one, I'd better find space in DC to crash. :-\

[housecat]

Charly, you can crash on my couch after if you want. I'm not working Friday so you can just set your alarm and roll out when you need to.

[lupitanahsee]

:( not going to be making it out afterall. no late or off for me friday. sometimes i really dont like being an adult.

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

sunday is father's day guys (dina and keith that have nothing going on that day)

[bkidz]

sunday is father's day guys (dina and keith that have nothing going on that day)

Doh. . . . Of course there is a phone call at some point. You know with my father being stationed in Korea and all.

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

[housecat]

:( not going to be making it out afterall. no late or off for me friday. sometimes i really dont like being an adult.

[bboyneko]

iBar: the bar owned by Steve Jobs

-Bar only allows one type of dance
-only one dancer at a time on the floor.
-Employees at the iBar don't actually know how to make drinks, where the bathrooms are, what closing time is, actuall address of iBar
-Its cool tho cus you cant get a virus at the ibar
-Can only have a date that is provided to you by the iBar
-If you are wearing gloves, you cant open doors, pick up drinks, or interact with the environment in any way
-Once your drink is empty you have to mail the glass to a certified iBar drink refilling factory where they will refill the drink for you

Boss ended up giving me tomorrow morning off after all, so I suppose I should go.

[axe]

Is Farina playing two hours or three?

Is his set time 12:00 -2:00?

[ricke]

I fully intend to attend this party.

As do I

[spiggums]

As do I

excellent...

I'm planning on getting there early so I can chill without having to deal with the inevitable line...

[MyKi]

Tonight is going to be something fierce :raveon::raveon::raveon:

yes, Farina will be on 12-2...

I still recommend getting there early... I really don't know what to expect tonight as far as lines + people really shouldn't sleep on Juan. He's toured the world also, has produced countless tracks on some of the biggest house labels out there, and just down right gets nasty on the decks..... couldn't ask for a better "opener"

Just got home from work... about to be out the door! STOKED!

see everyone tonight!

NO PARKING ON THE DANCEFLOOR! :)

[Catalyst]

looks like i'll be there ridiculously early too

[bkidz]

Early bird gets the house music?

[Roach]

Now commences your ridiculously music-stuffed weekend, Calvo!
Yup.
Your weekend = HOT....satisfying...and STUFFED with GOODNESS.




EXACTLY like the new P'ZONEs!!!

Even though I got there later than I wanted to, I had a great time. It was soo good to see all my house lovers, it had been a little bit! Farina killed it(like he'd do otherwise?)! Thanks to everyone who made this night happen!

[3DProductionsDC]

WOW!! You guy's threw a great party.There were a lot of old school faces that was good to see. The vibe was off the chain...
Awesome job guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Catalyst]

what an awesome night, Juan definitely is far from an opener and had people going from minute one, and Farina followed it up and does what he always does.

[Joe L.]

I'll post more after work...

But I <3 DC right now.....

last night was nuts.... I have never seen people at Eyebar standing on tables, sofas, whatever, and rocking out like that.......

[bkidz]

Like the closing night of Nation, I literally couldn't turn around and NOT see someone I knew. House Music truly binds us together.

That was seriously one of THE best nights. I was drenched from dancing. My PURSE was wet! WTF. Everyone came out and I somehow ened up on a table dancing by the end of the night. It was awesome. We discovered the a/c vent and rocked out under it.

Good f'g times. Now THAT was a party :)

Round II tonight @ Loda and III at TnT on Saturday.

[bkidz]

I honestly don't remember the last time I saw both Evey and Cliff breakin' it down on the dancefloor in the same night.

[Transmattic]

I'm Salty that a) this is the first time I've missed farina in 3 years and b) I'm in Alabama right now

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

i tripped, fell, and now the inside part of my left foot/big toe is bruised and it hurts to walk

BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

:)

[maynard]

My head hurts.

[housecat]

My feet and body hurt so good. As much as I drank I was not wasted. I even did a couple or 4 shots of tequila there. And I didn't fight anyone! WTF!

Dan, you're a trooper dude. For reals. Going back home after work then driving back into the city. Hard. Fucking. Core.

Actually I stayed in Arlington. No fucking way I was going all the way home. :)

And, uh, if anyone thinks they saw me dancing to house music, clearly the light was playing tricks on you...

I'm late on this since I've been without internet for a few days, but thank you ELM so fucking much. I know I told you guys individually at the end of the night, but I had to say again how awesome this night was. I could not have possibly asked for a better night to say goodbye to DC, everyone was smiling and having a great time, the vibe was thick as pea soup, and the music was straight up mindblowing. I've wanted to hear Farina do a mushroom jazz set since some time in the 90's, and I finally got to. I loved that we pushed Eyebar to later than they meant to be open, I loved that they basically had to throw us out, because I'm pretty sure if Farina had kept playing we would have danced till the sun came up.

Major props.
