Mark Farina

Mark Farina performs at The 8x10 with DJ LoveGrove and Guillermo Giraldo. Farina is a globally recognized house and Mushroom Jazz artist known for extensive touring, ongoing music production, and sets that highlight both emerging and classic producers.

A Chicago native, Farina began collecting records at 16 and discovered the city’s influential club scene through Medusa’s. After meeting Derrick Carter at a record store in 1988, he was introduced to pioneering house music producers and labels. That same year, he began a long-running residency at Smart Bar. In 1989, Farina, Carter, and Chris Nazuka, also known as Symbols and Instruments, signed with KMS Records and released “Mood,” a track credited as the first ambient house recording and reported to have sold more than 35,000 copies.
