The seventh installment in the House of Om series features the heavyweight turntable techniques of DJ Mark Farina, who returns to his San Francisco roots eight years after having put West Coast house on the map with the much acclaimed San Francisco Sessions. Farina's style is as hard to pin down as the globetrotting DJ himself, and this mix is no exception. It starts out on a deeper note, with an obscure a cappella that is signature Farina, moving quickly into some uptempo numbers that get the head nodding and the feet shuffling. The mix really lets loose with tracks from Check Diesel, Vibezselect, and the Littelmen before moving into warm, laid-back grooves to bring it home. It progresses nicely, a few dead spots (like the Kerry Chandler track) notwithstanding. While it's a far cry from the original San Francisco Sessions, this mix exemplifies why Farina gets held to a higher standard; he truly is in a league of his own. --Anish Acharya
Album Description
The House of Om mix we've all been waiting for from Om's number one jock, Mark Farina! Get your dancin' shoes on kids, because Mark puts this compilation together just like he plays in clubs around the world. Featuring his precise mixing and unique selection of cuts that only he can seem to get his hands on this early in the game! "Every once in a while, an entire genre of music can be defined by the tastes and technique of the selector who somehow understands it better than anyone else. Such is the sort of success that San Francisco - based DJ/producer Mark Farina has achieved for himself since starting off as a record collector and dedicated beatfreak in the house mecca of Chicago." - DJ TIMES

 I took a chance on this CD...... January 4, 2008

...never hearing of Mark Farina before, knowing a little about OM's good name and only seeing two names I recognized (Kerri Chandler and Monique Bingham)...
I was glad I did. I love this CD. His choice of tracks for this mix (mostly upbeat with a few 'low' spots in-between to give the listener a chance to get ready for the next few 'hype' tracks) is very similar to how I used to do during my days as a DJ a little over a decade ago. Even with the random acapella to start things off....
Good CD. Well worth the money I paid for it (which was a bit more...in Borders....).
 some good some bad September 12, 2007

there are a few great tracks on here, but the album has a whole is weighed down by some songs which just plain leave you wanting to skip tracks and end the agony.
A decent collection of mixes but not one to go on my short list of favs.
Keep on movin in the mix July 20, 2007
Alessandro Villalobos (california usa)
This cd gets five stars not only because it is great jackin house but because Mark Farina himself put it together. Anything this man puts together becomes a masterpiece. Mark still remains one of the true house djs that does not deviate from the path of hosue with cheesy electro bass or poppy chart music. His remixes are so original he makes Paul Oakenfold look like a wedding singer. Some of the very good tracks you'll here him play on tour is the very acclaimed jackin track "whats the time" by Littlemen, "Bleu" by King Kooba, and "Come chill" by vibezelect. In his jazzy phase Mark unleashes "garys groove" which is becoming loved by the like of Dj Heather, Diz, and Dj Sneak. Also look for the very subtle sax riff in Skeleton keys (not even released by the artist yet but you know they gave a copy to Mark). In any case if your a mark fan then you must have this cd to add the compilation you probably already started. Enjoy

Pretty typical set for Farina and as usual, never as good as a live set. Some great tracks and programming is pretty good.
Mark Farina does it again.......... April 20, 2007

Yep yep....Mark Farina did it again....simply blowing my mind away with another house mix that will definately keep you moving. A little more uptempo than normal Farina mixes but never the less....outstanding. It just keeps building up to a state where you find yourself just bobbing your head to the funky deep house that made Mark Farina who he is today. Don't hesitate....add this to your collection!!
