Venue: Electric Avenue

Event Details: Re:Publik are delighted to announce the return of one Waterfords favourite DJs, MARK FARINA (Om Records) to help us celebrate Part I of our 3rd Birthday Party on Friday, August 22nd at Electric Avenue. After two previous amazing gigs for Re:Publik, Mark returns as part of his world tour for his mix compilation "Fabric:40 Mark Farina" which was released in May. Mark Farina Biog: What can we say about Mark Farina that hasn't already been said, a true pioneer of the funky house groove. Mark developed his musical tastes in Chicago – listening to house music on the radio, living in one of the country’s most primordial breeding grounds for house. Around ’88, while record shopping at Imports, he met Derrick Carter and a friendship began. “I just ended up there between classes, I ended up buying his picks. He steered me toward the cutting edge House producers of the time.” Known around the world for performing his two distinctive DJ styles: chunky funky Chicago style house, and instrumental hip-hop mixed with jazzy soul known as Mushroom Jazz, Mark has been one of the most sought after DJs since he began touring the globe in 1989. Mark is a regular at the top clubs and festivals around the world including Fabric London, Pacha Ibiza, Zouk Singapore, Creamfields Liverpool, Field Day Sydney, and Skol Beats Sao Paulo. In 2003, with 4 Mushroom Jazz and 4 Chicago house DJ mixed compilations along with numerous singles already under his belt, Mark released his debut artist album 'Air Farina' to widespread critical acclaim. The album included the singles 'Radio' and 'Dream Machine' which became immediate club classics. 2004 saw the release of his live double mix CD with long time Chicago pal Derrick Carter 'Live at OM'. Spring 2005 saw the highly anticipated release of the 5th installment of Mark's legendary 'Mushroom Jazz' series. Mark's remix skills are also highly in demand from top labels such as Verve and Classic. Ministry of Sound Recordings enlisted Mark to mix a double CD of their prestigious Sessions series in 2006 and Mark will be mixing the next installment of Om Record’s House of Om mix series due for release Summer 2007. Mark has always released cutting edge CD Comp's right from the early Om and San Francsico Sessions right through to his current Ministry of Sound and now House Of Om releases, which both has featured some talented up & coming producers including our own Gavin Boyce. In fact the current HOUSE OF OM release has no less than 2 Waterford producers, along with Gavin Boyce's Greenhouse Music release 'Stick with It' is Waterford label Yakuza newest release Soydan's 'Takil' and added to that RePublik's good friends at Blue Iguana Music are also on there with the final track, the brilliant Ben Armstrong & Randal Soeung - Wrong Turn (Rhythm Plate Remix). Mark will join Re:Publik's Warren Sauvage, Kenno & Paul Byran & the opening set goes to Daniel Cummins (Cork) who at only 18 years old is already making a huge name in the underground house scene with Mark Farina himself regularly playing his tracks. Definately a big future ahead for this young man & makes his Re:Publik debut on a very special night indeed. This is Part I of our 3rd birthday celebrations & we will have more news on Part II soon. Admission is just 15 euro and doors open at the earlier time of 8pm, Electric Avenue, John Street, Waterford.
