Shortly after Mark befriended Derrick Carter in 1988 at a record store in Chicago, his passion for House music, and sharing it with the world, exploded.
Mark experimented with a deeper style, dropping De La Soul, disco classics and other stuff that wasn’t being played in the main rooms of nightclubs. While exploring his love for the purist forms of House Music, Mark developed his trademark style: Mushroom Jazz; acid jazz infused with the West Coast’s jazzy, organic productions along with urban beats.
Fans embraced Mark’s downtempo style so much that he started a weekly Mushroom Jazz club night in San Francisco with Patty Ryan. In 3 short years, the club established a fanatical, cult-like following for Farina and the Mushroom Jazz sound. When the doors closed, Farina continued the tradition by releasing a series of Cds, “Mushroom Jazz”.
Since then, Mark has been traveling the globe performing 100s of shows, to over one million club goers, a year. His House sets take fans on journeys to the jazzy side of Chicago House mixed San Fran style. Some of these sets have been known to last up to 8 hours. And sometimes you’ll find Mark playing in two different rooms at the same party, showcasing his range of rocking the big room sound to the uber-chill.
The different faces of Farina appear on the various CDs released on OM Records. Mushroom Jazz series showcases a hip-hop, sub-groove, jazzy, dubby and downtempo vibe. Seasons, a critically acclaimed House mix
Mark has been voted as one of the top DJ..s in the world by URB, MUZIK and BPM Magazines.

Mr. Nick |
Hailing from Honolulu, Dj Mr. Nick is an off the beaten track type of selector, specializing in laying down eclectic mixes of jazzy, style bending beats alongside Downtempo, Chunky Funky House, Breaks, B-More, and Electro. A typical set will pull from the far corners of the world with music ranging from a sexy, jazzy sax solo, to a gently swaying samba, to a spinning sitar driven house number. It is that energy which has quickly propelled Dj Mr. Nick to becoming one of Honolulu's premier Dj's and made him a seemingly constant presence at Honolulu's biggest dance events. Those events include his opening for international luminaries like Ursula 1000, Fort Knox Five Doc Martin, Dj IRA, Demetri from Paris, Greenskeepers, Fred Everything, Marques Wyatt and Diplo. His talents have also made Dj Mr. Nick easy to find on a weekly basis. His recent residencies included Bar 35 and NextDoor, Lotus and every Wednesday night, he takes over the controls at KTUH (90.3 fm) and shares his musical visions for three hours starting at 6pm.
