Listener Reviews & Comments
I actually got int Mark Farina's series with volume 4 and volume 3 at the same time. What's fascinating about the series to me is that from volumes 2 on to volume 4, you actually see an already terrific DJ get that much better in selection and pitch control. Amazing stuff really, and the tracks? Class. This is off of the Om Label, a label that provided the liks of the Om Lounge series and has released countless other deep house tracks in addition to some R&B releases. And of course, the Mushroom Jazz series has plenty of good instrumentals. Pete Rock's "A Little Soul" gets this one started and you've immediately got a head boppin' vibe to it. Scienz of Life's "Hot Banana's" has an old school sample through-out. People Under the Stairs (PUTS) "Suite for Beaver Pt. 1" is such a tight track that you can't help but to be taken to the bliss of the song. Whenever I spin it off their terrific "O.S.T." album people always asks who it is. Maspyke's "Truth In Position" is vintage Mush Jazz - deep beat, bass, and that hint of off-key. Sweet. STill trying to remember the samples used in "Listen"... like the beats and effects in it but want to check the originals now. Other songs on this that stood out were "Chicago babe", DJ Slave's "Original Beats", Dubble-D's "Big Fish", Tek-9 (think 4-Hero) with "7 Dayz" and I dug the way "Shoplif" was mixed into "Wiggle and Giggle" and "Keep Your Head Up", all the while giving some quick flashbacks of Mush Jazz volume 3. Heck... half the fun of this album was sitting around with friends trying to remember where the originals came from. I loved this volume. I think for anyone that's a fan of acid jazz, deep house and some beautiful aspects of hip-hop and underground beats, this is for you. And for anyone that's into spinning tunes and knows the pain of going to a hack club with terrible DJ's that could care less about the flow of the music they're spinning, timing & cross-fading or the music itself, volume 4 of Mushroom Jazz is like silk for your ears. If you like this, you may also like the DJ Kicks series - check out Thievery Corporation's and DJ Cam's. Or you might like the Trust The DJ series - Gilles Peterson, Dr. Bob Jones and a slew of others have great releases there. Especially Phil Asher's... DEFINITLY Phil Asher, aka "Restless Soul". If you like Mark Farina, you'll probably like Phil Asher and his "In the House" series - I think there's about 14 of them now. Also don't miss some of the Defected "In the House" series and finally, check out "Air Farina" or Miguel Mig's works... other Om sounds or Naked Music releases. Oh yeah, volume 5 was released in 2005 and pretty much all of these are available on vinyl too.
