DJ Farina

Music Style: Dark / Deep / Tech / Tribal / to Dirty, Electro House.

DJ Farina is definitely a star of the not-so-distant future. With her unique style and attitude to match, she would most certainly compliment any dj booth, in any venue.

Coming from an extremely musical family, meant farina always had an exceptionally high understanding of music. Every member of her family had a natural singing ability and she was n exception. Farina was an alto in her school choir, for over 4 ½  years. At the tender age of 13, whilst working in a London hairdressers, Farina was exposed to the sound of Naked Music and so into all things house began. Regularly being playfully told off by her boss, for staring intriguingly at the dj, who supplied a sound track for the salon, meant it was obvious there was a very keen interest being displayed. Another major influence, came from her older sister, London based house producer and vocalist-Scarpi. Although being into many genres of music, Dj Farina (by which, she was soon to be known) found herself being strangely drawn more and more towards the scene, with its many different qualities and facets.

Along the way, Farina began to have an increased understanding of what she liked and what she didn’t like. She was quick to realise that a dj with a big name did not necessarily make a good dj and this disappointed her. It was at this moment that she asked her friend, by the name of Daniel Anthony to teach her the forgotten art of djing. Her progress was astounding and after playing at an “open decks” night, just eight months later, dj Farina was offered the opportunity to play at one of London’s top nightclubs, Rouge (Now known as SIN).

Much later down the line, she secured a slot on one of the capital’s leading underground dance stations, Unknown 90.2 FM. After a spell here, she developed and grew, as a Dj, which is when she decided to move on to greener pastures, by joining London’s Passion FM. The move was inspired by the need to reach the whole of London and the surrounding areas – something Unknown did not do. Although one of the newest members of the team, she has established herself as essentially a deep House Dj, with a very distinct style. Incorporating afro-infused beats, aswell as dark techy elements means her sets, whether on the radio, or in a club, have a definite sense of maturity. Since launching her attack on the world, dj Farina has played alongside world famous acts, such as Felix B (one half of chart topping duo, Basement Jaxx) and Dj Yoda, as well as wowing crowds on the beaches of Lake Malawi, in Africa.  After an impressive performance, she has been invited to play again, next year. This is something she is very much looking forward to.

“ Malawi is an amazing place, with people being some of the friendliest I have ever encountered. So much of the music I play and love, has a strong afro-centric feel. From the percussive sounds, to the powerful native singing. This is why I feel honoured to be playing in the warm heart of Africa next year. Also, all the funds raised by the event go towards helping some of the poorest children in the world, so go get your tickets now!”
