Farina
Played mushroom jazz vol 1 while shroomin' on a mountain hike and suddenly it all made perfect sense. Thank you Maestro Mark!
They are ALL gorgeous and perfect for tripping.. This guy has been inspiring me since I was a kid. Much love out there. Eat your mushrooms!
gotta say I've been listening to everything Mark Farina does for almost two decades and this one is special. how does dude have ALL the records. my god. masterclass in DJing, full stop. doesn't matter what style you listen to or play yourself, there is no wrong time, place, party or group of people for this music right here.
I just found found purchases from 2004 that were his earlier releases, have so many. Even, San Francisco Sessions. this is great! 18 years of listening, here, too.
Master of djing? No. Misses the mix at the first track (initial mix is slightly off-beat).
Great track selection, but he's not a master. You want a master, look at DJs like DJ Shadow who don't miss a single beat for hours on end.
@@kaibe5241 Yeah you can see he's more comfortable mixing house really... but he's a great house DJ for sure. Shadow is on another league though, a master from the DJ and digging culture.
@@kaibe5241 sounding a bit cheeky. He actually IS a master. Know your history. Believe it or not even a “master DJ” can have a slightly off mix once in a while.. this homie is a legend in the game man, ease up! Name dropping The Shadow as reference sounds toy by the way. Oh he’s not a master because he’s not as good as the best hip-hop DJ/producer who ever lived pretty much, ok.
@@kaibe5241 so you have decided that Farina isn't a master based on a comparison between Farina and Shadow? Shadow, a turntablist known for quick mixes and scratch transitions, and Farina who does longer groove filled mixes. Interesting. What's next, DJ Craze vs John Digweed or Q Bert vs Jeff Mills? Good luck with that. You might want to rethink that.
Mark Farina's been one of my favorite DJs for years, he's definitely one of my main inspirations in my own DJ mixes. Mushroom Jazz vols. 6 and 7 are forever my jams; I still have Mushroom Jazz vol 7 on cd. Glad to see he's still at it!
heck ye agreed !!
Facts. 6 and 7 were my jams for the longest
They all are great.
I Got to know Farina with volume 3 so that’s my favorite together with 2 and 4
Got lost. Damn man...new skating mix for sure
I bought this dude's cd like 20 years ago solely because it was called Mushroom Jazz. I used to snowboard to it, back when skip resistant cd players were a thing.
Musical Nirvana right here. Grateful to be alive and blessed with the gift of sound. Love to all
Damn dude. I really needed this. Been thinking hard about life and trying to carve my place in it. Mushroom Jazz takes me back to when I was younger and had more dreams. There is no such thing as coincidence
keep dreamin' buddy. you're older but wiser!
Coincidentally there IS coincidence
I jammed to this mofo back in the day....good times!
you can always find your groove again. just travel to your fav spots and do the things you did that made you happy b4. I've been in holes and now find my peace in canaries. Hope you find that goove.
Facts
what a master at work, Mark Farina and I'm glad to have lived in the timeline..
first saw mark farina at EDC (Los Angeles) 2009? 2010? played at cosmic meadows stage... after or before Dennis ferrer/ TMB. what a year... little did i know, my whole music perspective would change after that
Same brother! Ever since I've listened to mark farina mushroom, I've never stopped listening. Been 11 years for me now ❤ I can work, study, clean, chill, drive to all of this 😊
I've always loved the "smartness" of Mark Farina. His sets have always been done with such a good-taste... The spoken-words throughout his sets were his very own and unique signature that I will never forget. Even his home looks like his sets : soft, safe, comforting.
I like that alliteration on his sets, and agree he has a flavor and flow that is so approachable.
In all my years, I didn’t realize how gifted this man is. My apologies for sleeping on you for 29 years!
man i've been on some journeys in my head with MJ as the soundtrack, particulary MJ5, one of the best albums i've got 👌🏼
An ex boyfriend played Mushroom Jazz for me 15 years ago and its been my background for so many things ever since - dinner parties, work, studying, cleaning the house, making out.... always spot on!! ❤from Austin!!
We love good music in Austin! Groove on!
@@kxan_news we also love Sally Hernandez, who interviewed my daughter at her preschool - 19 years ago!
Mark has a kitty. He just got even cooler 😍💯🐈⬛🐰
Mushroom Jazz 25!? I’ll be bumping it at 75! Promise!
He is a very special DJ.. unique.. I can’t remember anyone having a similar style … I usually listen more to deep and soulful house, but Farina‘s sets are some of my most favourite ones
If you like this check out DJ Krush's older work probably will resonate with ya
I'm a real deep and soulfull lover as well, but Farina brings me back in the real hip hop years so far, even if i wasn't born ahah
That cat is very cool ! 😁🐈🐈🐈
32:00 is a huuuuge groove. damn
Everytime he comes to my city we hangout. I'm 44 been a fan since I was 15. He's definitely the homie!
this is literally the best music for mushrooms. You can see the music.. and the voices...
The cat literally rolling
He is literally just vibin so hard rn lololz
wow, where have I been??!!!! Stumbled on this after listening to Nightmares on Wax.... Thank you You Tube. WOWWOWWOW!!!!! BEAUTIFUL
I love your rapport and silent candor with the camera, with the future audience that isn't there. You make it look like you're having fun! Lots of DJs look all serious when they get in the zone, or they need a crowd to feed energy off of and feel too silly gettin' jiggy all by themselves. Mark's just too cool, man...
I love Mushroom jazz, Saw him live got volume #4 autographed 🥰😎👍🏾😘
House or old hip-hop, Mark's my go-to groove professor. Thank you brother!
Best Mushroom Set ever!!!👍👍👍
The Mushroom Jazz CD series was groundbreaking for its time. Great selection of music that just couldn’t be found anywhere else.
Now this is a proper mix - sweet grooves and no ads. Delicious.
Been rockin with mark Farina since all the 90s bay area raves ... AND i love cats!!!
I will be playing this on loop for probably a month. Okay ... two months.
A little electro-jazz never hurt nobody! THIS is very cool and intoxicating! Fresh, magnanimous, snowballable bouncy!
43:05 feeelz… love me my Mark Farina❤️
i love your cat
The best comment here 🙈😂
With chips!!!
Love the cat too
Meeeew
Cat fans in the HOUSE!!! Pun intended. 😂🤣😂
a giant mushroom, made out of mushrooms....
God i love this man
My new cruising music. I've been looking for this and didn't even know it. Thank you.
There are decades to listen to
36:19 love this part, i turn it up every time i listen
Without success I can't find that track anywhere. Any ideas?
@@ronanpeter no idea! i mean it's some remix of jackson 5 dancing machine, but not sure which.
Such deep musical recognition ✌️
It's amazing that he is still performing art and keeping it real. His blending, his ear to selective tracks is what the underground is about and he has never left it, he is an innovator. I have been listening to mushroom jazz compilations when they started with tapes. This is what Dj is all about especially the Chicago born ones!
Mark Farina is what I always listen to when I need to work on something long term like a work assignment or even just to get in a creative drawing mood. I've been listening to him for almost 20 years and I'll never stop! I always see lofi/chillwave/etc. whatever with anime thumbnails recommended to me and I'm always like "nah, I'm gonna go find me a mushroom jazz mix" lol
Use to buy his CASSETE MIX TAPES in the 90s in the bay at XLARGE clothing stores and raves. This is a dope set
Mark has been an inperation since the late 90s. I'll never stop listening to this dude.
You are loved
I listed to so much music in my life, but I always come back to mr farina.
Mark, are you bionical? Flawless AF...again and again and again. Stay who you are. You are the shizzle
This man made my teenage years the best experience ever, especially on mushrooms!! ✌🧡👍
Nothing beats the beat of mushroom jazz
Id like to express something.
my everyday preference of music is a genre that is high energy and heavy bass oriented. Might be because of how I'm feeling most of the time.
But there's another way I tend to feel other times as well and only Mark Farina mixes can feed this feeling.
Mark really hit a home run with this ongoing project.
Picked up my first Mushroom Jazz 1 (circa 1996 - 97) on good old CD.
Borders Books was bringing in some really unique and abstract genres at the time, and they had the “listen before you buy” option, which was huge when seeking out the unknown.
MJ #1 was a real game changer within the Acid Jazz / Downtempo / Trip Hop genres, and they’ve consistently delivered since.
Don’t forget about each and every artist that’s contributed a track or two. They are the independent, unsung heroes who’ve allowed these groovy genres to develop.
Thanks Mark.
Been following and you since the “SEASONS ONE” release.
Never disappointed.
Seasons One is still my favorite mix CD of all time.
discovered a new genre! thanks ⚡⚡
yes sir mushroom jazz for the win
you've now got 30 years of amazing work to enjoy! Go see Mark live.. such a great show
Luno!! Fancy seeing you here :)
@@ncaruana11 cringey TH-cam comment
Never heard hip-hop? Yikes!
This guy calls himself a DJ?!?!? He doesn't even have any records... I"M TOTALLY KIDDING. Brother I've been listening to your stuff for decades your abilities are top-notch and I will always enjoy any and all mix that you throw down. One love & nuthin' but respect.
another mushroom jazz classic set. the world needs this down to earth vibes. peace for y`all
Master Class of Funk.
Man, it's been years since I've been able to see Mark Farina do the damn thing. This is great.
Farina does it every time. I’ve seen him live and he bends all into it. He’s such a great vibe!
That 12:09 shift. Master of the art. ❤
I've been a fan all the way since vol.1 when this showed up on my sidebar, I got goosebumps. What an incredible set. I've been lucky enough to see Mark spin live on multiple occasions. I love this.
MARK IS SICK WITH HIP-HOP, HOUSE, ETC!!!! HE MIXES EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT!!!! THIS IS A FANTASTIC AND CONSISTENT MIX THAT WILL KEEP YOUR HEAD BOBBIN'!!!! THAT TRACK AT 26:09...DAYMN!!!!
best acid jazz, jazz hop and funk!!!!
Mark - you age well. Both your music and actual body/face. Stay well, I saw/heard you in Santa Monica late 90s. You are one of those DJs that just is uber professional and all loved. Your sounds will live forever & for this I am eternally grateful. Much peace, JM
He’s 52 in this!
Thank you Mark! For decades of the most beautiful grooves positive vibes in the game! From ATL to San Francisco and Santa Rosa, you are the best.
Thank you!
This is my first time checking you out and I gotta say you a BAD BOY!!!!!!
Daaammmnn,, I remember bumping Mushroom Jazz Volumes on a portable disc player back in like 2005 on the bus to school, some ultra smooth cuts, I'm happy I found this
Does everyone remember where they were when they heard their first mushroom jazz? I sure do! That was an AMAZING night!
Damn, must've been 96 in Newcastle upon Tyne. There was this girl...
@@eatmygonks Ahhh yes!! Sounds like we had a very similar experience my friend!
Walked into a Tower Records one day not wanting anything. Walked out with my first Mushroom Jazz #1. Haven’t looked back since.
@@adrienne_12thorpe that's wild! MJ1 found me .. friend let me borrow the CD. walked into a store looking "for mushroom jazz stuff" and the guy gave me Kruder and Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions vol 1 and 2. christttt....
I was in High School, my buddy had the cassette bumping in his CRX.
This got me out of a very sad and lonely mood real quick. Perfection. So grateful ❤
the tuxedo cat in the background playing is such a vibe
All the way to my Soul,go on on ,got me involved 4 really real
This man creates amazing mysic..I've been a huge fan since the mid 90s and his taste and style have only gotten better with age❤ and he is a good guy to boot, those of us who were fortunate enough to have been involved with the underground dance scene of the 90s can all attest the BEST parties were the ones with Mark making the earth shake with the hoardes of dancers whose feet he possessed with them beats
One of my faves. Repeated this mix multiple times and shared with close ones. Lovely stuff !
I listen to Mark since 1996, while sitting on other side on Earth 😘
I miss these old school San Francisco vibes! 💕 🌉 🍷
Hey Mark, lookin good buddy and sounding great. much love from New Orleans. met you a few years back at a NOLA pool party you played. I was in a wheel chair and we had a short conversation about SF days of old and certain crews. You were hella nice to me, much appreciation. you busted out an epic house set that night. That New Orleans heat definitely had us faded out by the end lol.......Mushroom Jazz was a pretty monumental part of my San Francisco experience. When i worked at Virgin Megastore I pushed the MJ albums pretty hard. Long live the old OM crew.
Just feeds my soul
I was born in Hayward but raised in So Cal after age 5. Came back to East Bay at 18. since then lived all over....I just feel like this is my music. Don't wanna be presumptuous but as a no cal/so cal mix...I dunno. This music speaks to me.
Will always enjoy your playing brother. I have cassette tapes from you still and a few of your records in my collection! I’m 50 now and
remember dancing to you live in my 20’s!
Love these selections from the big man!
Outstanding ❤
Always a vibe ❤
I was a DJ in Chicago in the 90's and knew Mark in those days. Mad skillz and great taste for groove. He was really nice to me and turned me on to some great tunes. I remember the first Mushroom Jazz record and still a huge fan! I dig it rotten!
Love Mushroom Jazz...full of memories with a dear friend who used to DJ and let me use his equipment to create my own remixes of songs. Some great times we had~
I got into electronic music in large part because of Mushroom Jazz... Volumes 1 to 4 were on regular rotation all the time when I was 16-17ish, along with some St-Germain-Des-Prés.However my favorite album from Mark Farina was not actually a Mushroom Jazz, it was Air Farina!
TURLY FRESH VIBES 🍄
THANK YOU MARK FARINA
One more thang to say this just made my morning I work 12hours nights 🌙 this is so refreshing 😌 trust 🙌
Man! I've been digging you're sets since the 99. I'm glad I re- found you!. Haha.
Mark Farina is Always looking up at you like "YOU lIke DAT shEET?" XD - Love this mans music since age 13 when I could download from Kazaa and Napster then transfer to CD's to Bump. Now I'm 39 and still Loving it! Thanks for the years of great music Mark! -Manny from Austin TX
I love how he tweaks sound clips like "Everybody" from the Cheers TV Show theme song & melds it with "clap your hands". An instrumental from Das Efx is masterfully incorporated into it's own grove. With yet so much more magic to encounter on this musical journey. Keeping blessin heads Yo!
I listened to this on a flight to Toronto last night. So good!
OMG the cat and the vibes are so sweet 🤩 thank you for so many recordings that soundtrack my and my family's life
Fortunate enough to have met and hung with Mark. Learned so much from this dude. Absolute master dj. Will never forget the dopest transition I ever heard spinning Black Moon who got tha props and then going into Nervous track at some loft party ChiTown late 92... Came back to the UK convinced him and Derrick Carter were two of the best DJs in world. Still believe so.
Dope!
Outstanding. Music likes this can save lifes! Thank you so very much!
Mark Farina is a beast even when he's mixing House music..!!
This is by far one of my favorite mixes I've heard in a longtime. The flow is just flawless.
i love this mix and i love that the cat just want to hang out too :-) listening to this with my cat
3 tunes in and my head has been nodding the whole time
Barefoot mixes are the best!
Reminds me of my college days when I first discovered Mushroom Jazz. Thanks for the upload!
