Mark Farina

In a city filled with DJs that hold a close connection to Chicago's house music history, Mark Farina might be one of the most accomplished. After meeting Derrick Carter in a local record shop, Farina fell down the house music rabbit hole, producing tracks and becoming known for his deep, "Mushroom Jazz" sets—some of which last as long as eight hours. Taking a break from his consistent touring schedule, Farina gets behind the decks at Smart Bar during the Tomorrow Never Knows festival.
