Since its inception in 1995, Om Records has been a driving force in the electronic and hip-hop scene, embodying the eclectic spirit of San Francisco. In the early 2000s, the city was abuzz with underground raves and warehouse parties, setting the stage for a thriving EDM scene. Om Records was at the forefront, with artists like DJ Mark Farina
leading the charge. Farina's iconic Mushroom Jazz series, which began as a cassette tape series in 1992 and transitioned to commercial releases on Om Records in 1996, defined the era's downtempo and hip-hop vibes. The series combines elements of acid jazz, hip-hop, and R&B, creating a unique sound that resonated with fans worldwide.
