Featuring the A-list talents of Derrick Carter and Mark Farina, Live at Om is just what you'd expect; premium house music mixed with skill and infused with party-driving momentum. Both DJs have been given room to display their talents, with each getting a full disc's worth of live mixes recorded on Valentine's Day, 2004. Farina shelves the Mushroom Jazz he's known for as well as the lighter, more ambient textures of his Air Farina, and goes straight for bread-and-butter Chicago beats. Carter's set is dirtier; you can feel the sweat start dripping from the ceiling the minute his needle drops. If there's anything wrong with this collection, it's an absence of surprises. Carter and Farina are adventurous veterans, capable of taking their crowds pretty much anywhere, but they seem content not to stretch. Having said that, if you can't get enough of that famously funky house from the shores of Lake Michigan, you'll have a tough time finding it served up with this much style and confidence anywhere else. --Matthew Cooke

Product Description

This first double live album from Carter and Farina was recorded on Valentine's Day weekend at the Om Monthly at Mezzanine in San Francisco. Respected internationally as the "King Of Jack", Carter is recognized for bringing the boompty boomp back to the dance floor. This is his most bumping, soulful, and inspired mix to date. Farina is known around the globe for performing his two legendary DJ styles: instrumental hip-hop mixed with jazzy soul, known as "Mushroom Jazz", and chunky funky Chicago-style house sets. "Live At Om" is his brightest release yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark and Derrick Show How It's Done., August 1, 2004

This review is from: Live at Om (Audio CD)

A friend of mine once asked me why I prefer house music over hip hop, and my response was easy: house is more free flowing, more sensual, and, quite frankly, a lot more fun to dance to. A case in point is the excellent "Live at OM" set by two of house music's most respected DJs: Derrick Carter and Mark Farina. These are two CDs of hypnotic grooves that are mixed seamlessly, as we've come to expect from DJs of this caliber. The first disc comes from Mark Farina, who gives us some twisted and nasty grooves in the form of "Revolution" by To-Ka Project, "F--- Hodges" by Jason Hodges and Jacob London's "No Farting in the Ice Fort." Derrick Carter gets his moment to shine on the second disc, and it's the slightly better of the two. We get some really pounding beats on killer tracks like "Simon Says Bounce" by Kings of Tomorrow, "Classic Vibe" by Backroom Production and "Telefunky" by Freaks. While both DJs are clearly different in style, the compliment each other nicely on "Live at OM." It's also fitting that this recording took place on Valentine's Day, because the project sounds like it was done with lots of love and affection. One of the best house compilations I've heard this year so far.

I'll try to spell everything right, unlike other reviewers. These cds are a good example of Chi-town jackin house music. Farina is pretty good, but if DC doesn't get your head noddin' to the point where you almost get in a car accident, than there's something wrong with you. Go listen to Oakenfold, or Tiesto, and wave some glowsticks around. Bangin!
