Live at OM [Import] [Live]

Amazon.com
Featuring the A-list talents of Derrick Carter and Mark Farina, Live at Om is just what you'd expect; premium house music mixed with skill and infused with party-driving momentum. Both DJs have been given room to display their talents, with each getting a full disc's worth of live mixes recorded on Valentine's Day, 2004. Farina shelves the Mushroom Jazz he's known for as well as the lighter, more ambient textures of his Air Farina, and goes straight for bread-and-butter Chicago beats. Carter's set is dirtier; you can feel the sweat start dripping from the ceiling the minute his needle drops. If there's anything wrong with this collection, it's an absence of surprises. Carter and Farina are adventurous veterans, capable of taking their crowds pretty much anywhere, but they seem content not to stretch. Having said that, if you can't get enough of that famously funky house from the shores of Lake Michigan, you'll have a tough time finding it served up with this much style and confidence anywhere else. --Matthew Cooke

Product Description
This first double live album from Carter and Farina was recorded on Valentine's Day weekend at the Om Monthly at Mezzanine in San Francisco. Respected internationally as the "King Of Jack", Carter is recognized for bringing the boompty boomp back to the dance floor. This is his most bumping, soulful, and inspired mix to date. Farina is known around the globe for performing his two legendary DJ styles: instrumental hip-hop mixed with jazzy soul, known as "Mushroom Jazz", and chunky funky Chicago-style house sets. "Live At Om" is his brightest release yet.

It's 2005 deep tech/house...not 90's deep funky house........2006-05-05

Well, in fact, I understand why a lot of true deep house headz are disappointed with this mix. We are veeery far from San Francisco Sessions vol. 1, or even far from Connect. But, in the same time, we still stay into the quality house music, with, like often with mark, a real deepness. The BPM is higher, but the track selection is very fresh. Okay, that's not the 90's deep house, that's 2005 deep TECH/house. Try to make a set in the same vein of SFS1 with nowadays records... it's difficult, cause even deep house is changing. 4,5/5 stars for the Farina set. But the Derrick Carter set is just...OK in my opinion. I found it more boring than Mark set, and the track selection is less interessant. Well, it's just a question of tastes I think...

who's heard of chicago house.......2005-04-17

I'll try to spell everything right, unlike other reviewers. These cds are a good example of Chi-town jackin house music. Farina is pretty good, but if DC doesn't get your head noddin' to the point where you almost get in a car accident, than there's something wrong with you. Go listen to Oakenfold, or Tiesto, and wave some glowsticks around. Bangin!

a deep house head classic.......2005-03-12

i listen and listen and listen to this cd. stacy kid is a good dj. i've heard him spin in person down here in chicago and i did not want to leave.

if this is good stuff, i would hate to hear the bad!!!!!!!!!.......2005-01-13

i love all types of music, ecspecially the electronica movements. i saw review's of kaskade and in the reviews i saw this guy's name mark farina. the one mentioned soulfull, deep jazz like house sound. with rich movement and soul. stuff to make you shake dat azz. so when i was in the local cd store the other weekend, i saw this cd. i thought of the reviews, and said to myself, self, why the hell not. but, i didnt really know the actual sound that mark had, so i didnt open the cd yet, i was going to check out the sounds on cdnow. but, i couldnt wait so i opened, popped it in the old cd player, and was TOTALLY, AND I MEAN TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BY HOW BORING THE FIRST CD IS. i hear more music and beats and rythem turning on my computer, opening my car door hearing the ding ding ding ding sound, not putting on my seatbelt fast enough in my car, ding ding ding, not turning of the turn signal when changing lines fast enough, ding ding ding. put it this way, i was listening to cd 1, i thought i was and hoping i was only on song maybe 3 or 4, check the track, it was on song ten. this cd was so bad, i took it out and put in the cd 2, the mr carter one. second time around for the second cd was a better find. to bad you cant buy them sepperate, but you cant. dc was better, kept my ears from not falling asleep. but it wasnt as deep, or soulfull or as jazzy as i was hoping for. if i was to base deep house on this cd, or cds for that matter, i wouldnt waste my time in looking for much more, and nether should you, skip this one, let's check out kaskade, or that migel guy, or maybe some of marks other stuff, maybe he was just having a bad night!!!!!!!!!!!

if you like deep house then forget this one........2004-11-30

i don't know much about Derreck but Mr. Mark Farina was used be such a great DEEP HOUSE dj back in the days... Mushroom Jazz, cisco sessions and so forth... So, when i saw the cd at some local cd shop, i bought it without checking out samples. Big mistake!!! the BPM was way too fast my DEEP HOUSED ear drums, thus it sounded like Hollywood's stupid big club music (Mark, you sell out!! I remember he did 8 hour set just outside of L.A. only a few years ago...) If you like hard or progressive house (they suck by the way) you'd love it.
