Mark Farina Mushroom Jazz 7

The news has leaked and we are very excited to hear the next installment of this series is approaching later this year. For now, enjoy the developing widget below which includes a free track, and access to (what we’ve been told) weekly updates from Farina’s PR team regarding the package release. We’re not usually ones to engage with marketing tactics such as this, but if you’ve heard one of Mark’s Mushroom Jazz mixes, then you know the level of quality we are dealing with here.

The Gulf Aid Remix Contest

Gulf Aid Remix Contest

On May 12th, 2010, Mos Def and Preservation Hall’s Ben Jaffe met in New Orleans to collaborate on a song to benefit The Gulf Relief Foundation, an organization providing relief for those affected by the Gulf oil spill catastrophe. In an all-night jam session less than 12 hours later, they recorded the song at Preservation Hall with the newly formed Gulf Aid Allstars: Mos Def, Lenny Kravitz, Trombone Shorty, Tim Robbins and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The result: a remake of the New Orleans rhythm and blues classic “It Ain’t My Fault”.

Ben Jaffe, recruited Mark Farina, Chuck Love, and Joshua Heath to do remixes of the track. This is the final result!

Mark Farina Gets Serenaded

Mark Farina Gets SerenadedSan Francisco’s Mushroom Jazz groove master Mark Farina undoubtedly has a solid and loyal fan base, and as such he can probably expect fans to want an autograph or have their photo taken with him at the end of the night. But in this video we get a fascinating peek as to what happens when fans want to ‘give back’ to the DJ that just rocked their socks. Poise and grace must be a required course at DJ school, as Mark so aptly demonstrates here.
