Focus Presents: Tortured Soul LIVE (Brooklyn, NY)
+ Jazzwell & Josh Billings
October 7th 2014
Get on the RSVP List here http://www.Focus-Oc.com/rsvp/ (RSVP THE WEEK OF THE EVENT)
Focus Located @

Newport Beach, CA 92660
On Tuesday, Febuary 18th, we have a very special treat at Focus. Brooklyn's very own Tortured Soul will be gracing us with a Live performance on Focus' stage. You CAN NOT miss this night. Trust me! If you've ever seen Tortured Soul Live before you know how awesome they are and to see them in a venue as intimate as Focus is flat out amazing. FYI Last time we had Tortured Soul we sold out, so presale tickets and/or early arrival is strongly suggested for this very special event.
With their simple 3-piece line-up, the band are a breath of fresh air for the dance floor-weary masses tired of dry club brands serving up DJs-by-numbers. Bringing all the right elements of soul and disco heritage into their music, you’ll experience a Tortured Soul live set as you’ll experience a great DJ.
Rose and violet lights fall on three musicians decked out sleekly in skinny ties, pressed slacks, and starched white shirts. The mass of bodies gathered before them pulsates with a unified enthusiasm. Sweet soulful vocals rise from the man in the middle, an effect rendered all the more captivating by the fact that he is concurrently beating out an unrelenting backbeat on the drums. Flanking him on either side are a bassist who jumps up and down to the rhythm as he generates the throbbing low-end, and a keyboardist whose cool composure belies the fire in his fingers. This is Tortured Soul.
Born of the simple yet adventurous belief that modern dance music can be performed completely live, Brooklyn’s Tortured Soul packs dance floors with their unique live performances, while their recorded oeuvre pushes the genre boundaries of soul, dance, and pop.

"I look at my job as a modern day traveling minstrel, to bring new music to as many places as I can, and expose obscure records that, otherwise, might go hidden." While Mark Farina may be able to sum up his job description in a sentence, there is much more to be written.
Since 1989, Mark Farina has been traveling the globe performing at literally hundreds of shows a year, sometimes DJing both of his preferred styles in two different rooms at the same party. At other events, he's been known to play extended sets that lasted over eight hours. In his House sets, Mark is known for his uniquely effortless journeys on the jazzy side of Chicago House, mixed up San Fran style.
This wandering record minstrel has played to incredible crowds all over the globe. Consistently drawing new fans to his style of chunky-funky rhythms and deep underground house, Mark plays upwards of 200 shows to over one million (1,000,000) club goers per year. Voted in the top 20 DJ's in the world by MUZIK and BPM Magazine, his taste making skills continue to turn the heads of seasoned veterans as well as youngsters just getting into the music.
FYI - Costumes aren't required but they it make it much more fun!

Focus Presents: Harvard Bass (San Diego)
+ Nonfiction & Dirty Work
November 18th 2014

Raised in a family with a musical taste steeped in rich Mexican culture, Victor Hugo Ramos was born with rhythm in his veins. At the pivotal age of 16, he would sneak into clubs in Tijuana to soak in the waves of early inspiration. Driven by a beat he could not ignore, Victor bought his first DJ setup and began mixing songs that were making an impression on him, regardless of genre. This forward-thinking mentality would soon become crucial in the development of the Harvard Bass sound.
Harvard Bass combines smooth, minimal beats and deep ghetto house grooves with corrosively addicting drum patterns. “Techyes”, an unforgettable collaboration with the legendary Green Velvet, harkens back to the glory days of techno while more recent tracks like, “Lazer Beams” (Relief Records) & “Plex” Dubfire’s Sci-Tec Digital Label, incorporate this influence with other elements that come off as retro yet modern simultaneously.
With the creation of Bump City Records, Harvard Bass is extending his brand to other talented producers and ensuring that the scene stays fresh with creative ideas. Constant praise pouring in from respected DJs such as Dubfire , Richie Hawtin, Boys Noize, Tiga, and DJ Pierre salutes the burgeoning musical niche that is taking form, with Harvard Bass at the forefront. Armed with the talent and tenacity to succeed, Harvard Bass has been cemented as a force to be reckoned with in House, Techno music and beyond.
