Mark Farina

Mark Farina is amongst the best House Music Djs as he has been playing sets in clubs since the early 90's. He is originally from Chicago, so he provides those deep house roots, and now he resides in San Francisco, CA where he has gained musical influences to perfect his style.

When you first step into a club where Mark performs, it's an enlightening and invigorating experience. You hear all these sounds and you just immediately feel like you have to dance. It's what a house music club should be like. If you are in LA, he usually plays at underground places but still gets the word around those in the mix.

He is usually at KING KING in Hollywood, or DTLA warehouses, he sometimes plays in the OC as well. The bass is bumping every time, and it's so GOOD!

He has this thing called "Mushroom Jazz" where he infuses deep house and jazz, it's like a live jazz set, with the dancing. The music is so good that you don't even need drinks! Because you honestly just want to be there taking everything in. The times I've drank too much, I've regretted it.

It's just an amazing experience to listen to him live, it's a progressive set of ecstasy. And, the best part is that it only gets better and better as the night goes on. If you like deep house, this is where you NEED to be. He will sometimes do his ALL VYNIL sets, it just makes you happy. It is so good! Everyone needs to attend one of his sets. The music is shocking, like everytime I go, I'm just like "Shit, how did he think of that? How does it fit so well?" He is a musical MAD MAN.

However, he is such a friendly guy. When I saw him last year at his Halloween show in LA, he had a GHOSTBUSTERS dancer! I asked Mark for a photo with me before he went on stage... my flash wasn't working and he politely said to me, "I'ts ok I've got time." I was so heart felt when he said this, it shows he cares and values his fans. I've recently had my boyfriend listen to Farina's music and he loves it! We went to both of his ALL VYNIL sets earlier this year and we are going to listen and dance to his set this June at Saint Rocke. Mark Farina loves his cute son Dylan! You will always see him on his INSTAGRAM: @djmarkfarina and he also posts vivid scenic illustrations. He's into old vintage cars as well! What a rad man!

With all my house music experience and just music in general, I would recommend any of his live sets if you are able to attend, in a heartbeat! It's always unforgettable and you will say to yourself, "Man, this is so good!"
