Perennial house DJ and Mushroom Jazz-man Mark Farina has been there and done it all in his long career, so it's no surprise that Connect shows off a master's dexterity with sounds, beats, and the importance of a well-timed sample. The record lands headfirst with Latin Impressions' "Boca De Bon Do Neon," which showcases the accordion, surely a house first. Hypnotic tracks flow forth effortlessly, and while the beats remain largely static, Farina's diverse sonic embellishments--garbled voices, pitched-down kazoos, smoking saxophones, and a regal command to "get on down and par-tay!"--keep the disc fresh. Throughout, Connect never loses it organic, mellow jazz mood, burning slow before your Saturday night really kicks in. --Ken Micallef

 must have. January 15, 2007
T. J. Puckett (Leverett, MA USA)
For anyone who is a big Mark Farina fan, this cd is a must have. This is one of my favorite house mixes ever.
Not as good as San Francisco Sessions 1 but... April 29, 2006
M. Timmerman (France)
...a great work by Farina. A little more "tek/house" than SFS1 but with the same deepness...
Excellent track selection. Latin tracks to begin, then deep catchy tracks by Swirl People, Joshua (work it out is simple but so efficient!) or Avondale Music Society (pretty good track from an underground man). Then, place to a little more "techy" sound with brett johnson and andrew macari (BEWARE!!! for the single vinyls afficionados, there is a mistake in the tracklist. Indeed, track 9 = Andrew Macari, and track 10 = Halo,Penn & Chus), and the mix finishes with a smooth track by Sirus.
Every deep house fan (deep house without Diva vocals) should buy it. It's an essential mix, with, as habitually, a strong atmosphere created by the magic man: Mark Farina.
 NOT HIS BEST WORK... June 2, 2005

If you're into "deep" house, this disc won't really get your groove on until track 10 - the first 9 tracks are throwaways. He's done better with his "San Francisco Sessions" mix.
 Danceable CD but the pace gets to be too much March 28, 2004

This cd is very good but after dancing to it for a few tracks, I got tired of the same endless beat for every song. 'Connect' got unconnected after playing it a few times. It seems more like a workout cd than a dance cd. I like more varied beats and creativity when I listen to dance music. This record is just one formula...a canned beat with different instrumentals. Marques Wyatt's 'For Those Who Like to Get Down' is much better. Great for a non-stop dance marathon.

Connect is an extrememly impressive offering from in my humble opinion one of the dopest, most versatile house djs on the planet. Seamless is probably the best way to describe this album as it flows extraordinarly well from start to finish. Listening to it is like a journey. Mark takes you through tech, tribal, latin and jazzy house without any of the track seeming as if they are out of place. Its like getting a full, 7 course meal in a fine resturant, with each dish savored, and taken out of your way to make room for the next equally delicious one. Not entirely comprised of 'dance tracks', this cd is great to put on in your ride or in the crib when you just want to chill. If you are a househead, you simply have to cop this joint.
