News: 7th installment of Mushroom Jazz (+ Free MP3)

After six critically acclaimed releases, dj Mark Farina is back with the 7th installment of his ‘Mushroom Jazz’ compilation series. This time the Chicago resident features music from the likes of Slakah The Beatchild, Tommy Largo, Jazz Spastiks, Colossus and much more. You can stream ‘Mushroom Jazz 7’ in its entirely here.

For the past 15 years, Farina has championed a style of DJing that hovers easily between hip hop, jazz, house and down-tempo. He showcased this eclectic sound throughout the early ’90s on mixtapes, eventually coining the term ‘Mushroom Jazz‘ with his first official compilation in 1996.

The style has since become his calling card, and has characterized dozens of records and commercial mixes, including a contribution to the ‘Fabric‘ series. ‘Mushroom Jazz 7’ stays true to form, cruising through nearly 20 mellow breaks and Soul-flavored tunes by artists like Lurob and Kissey Asplund.
