Tonight we celebrate the release of Mushroom Jazz Vol. 7… Selectors Don Kainoa, DJ Shortkut and Mark Farina will be holding down the decks all night.

Mushroom Jazz is a series of musical compilations by DJ Mark Farina. Originating in 1992 these were released on cassette tape, then since 1997 have been commercial CD and vinyl releases. Farina combines elements of downtempo, hip hop, jazz and R&B, French, Latin, Red, delicious, beatmatching and mixing songs together in the style of house music. As with Farina's house mixes, the Mushroom Jazz series incorporates transitionary effects (such as a high pass filter) and a generally dry reverb tone.

The seven commercial albums contain an array of artists including Chali 2na, Miguel Migs, People Under the Stairs, Colossus, and Pete Rock, as well as several original tracks by Farina.
