New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Basic NYC Official Website) When it comes to the funky fusion of deep and jacking house, few DJs are more accomplished than San Francisco's Mark Farina. On Saturday, January 28th, the maestro is back to drop an extended set of his irresistible grooves, as Basic brings Mark back to one of New York's top venues for cutting edge music - (le) Poisson Rouge. This is Mark's second LPR appearance, and the room is a perfect fit for Mark's musical magic and DJ wizardry. This is our first party of 2012 at LPR and we can't wait to see what Mark has in store for us.
From his downtempo Mushroom Jazz selections, to his wildly influential house sets, Mark Farina has been spreading his love of underground music worldwide for years. A
Chicago native who moved to San Francisco in the early 90s, Mark quickly became known as the city's most important ambassador of the deep, jazzy house that came to define the west cost sound. Few DJs have influenced as many dancers, producers and DJs over the years, but Mark's unique and uncompromising approach to music has made him an icon to his legions of fans. With his energetic mixing and cutting-edge track selection, Mark's sets never fail to set the dancefloor on fire.
In 2011, Mark has been firing on all cylinders, with his latest Mushroom Jazz 7 disc earning rave reviews from all corners. His Great Lakes Audio label continues to release the newest and freshest in house music from upcoming and established talent alike.
This will be Mark's first appearance at (le) Poisson Rouge, a venue that features the best in avant garde and discerning music, from electronic to classical and jazz. Basic has already presented a number of memorable events at the venue, with
Miguel Migs, Jeff Mills, Derrick Carter and Jody Wisternoff all rocking the room. Featuring top notch sound, lighting, and a spacious dancefloor, LPR is the ideal environment for a night of music and revelry.
Basic Sleepy & Boo have hosted and played with Mark Farina for several years now, with memorable nights at venues all over the city. Joining them in the DJ booth will be AB
Logic and Chris Love of the S.O.U.P. crew, both longtime Basic friends who have played with Mark many times before. Their S.O.U.P. nights are staples of NYC's underground house scene. Another Basic regular BEYROUTH will be get the party started in style with his own deep mix of techy house. Come join us on the dancefloor for what promises to be another fantastic night of music with Mark Farina at the helm.
