Mark_Farina_1

October 22, 2009
There may be three of them (all in the music business, no less), but neither the Mark Farina of Australia or the Mark Farina of Italy holds a candle to the United States' very own. Born in Chicago, the very home of house music—during the second spring after the Summer of Love (by which I mean, the first one in 1967, in San Francisco, not the one referred to as the "second" in the U.K., a period between 1988 and 1989 heralded as acid house's season of maturation)—Mark Farina was in his mid-to-late teens when the genre hit full swing, emerging from his hometown's underground club scene. Today, Farina is one of the genre's biggest names, and describes himself as a "modern day traveling minstrel." Touting 100 shows per year since the end of his Mushroom Jazz club night in San Francisco, Farina, amidst world travels, released the six-volume Mushroom Jazz series, a body of work that exemplifies his trademark acid jazz-meets-urban beats style. He'll hit Maui this Friday, in a show with enough oomph to make DJ Dynasty Handbag squeal "Ooo, weee!" and get T'Shane to shut-up and dance. 877-71-GROOV, www.groovetickets.com
