Delicious funky jazz house cocktail
DJ Mark Farina didn't start spinning his tasty beats until 2 am Sunday morning at Smartbar, but it was well worth the wait. The party, which had already started with DJ Heather's sensual and trippy deep house tracks, kicked into high groove when Farina took over. This was some of the best dance music I have heard as of late. Farina's ability to mix different genres is part of what makes his funky sounds so pleasurable. His music is a well-shaken cocktail--a fusion of downtempo, acid jazz, disco and house that can get even the most dance-shy folks out on the floor. There were a couple of reasons for this double treat--Mark Farina and DJ Heather--performing on the same night. It was Heather's birthday, for one, and secondly, an occasion to celebrate the release of House of Om (Om Records), a super smooth and stylish compilation to definitely add to your collection. This sweet 18-track CD mixed by Farina features Kerri Chandler, Uneaq, and King Kooba, among others, and is perfect for the dance floor or just chillin'.
