http://fingersfarnsworth.podomatic.comGrowing up in a musical family, my father Tom “fingers” Farnsworth has been rocking the keys for over 40 years. Early on he introduced me to records, sounds, and flavors from San Francisco’s psychedelic movement to early funk and soul and disco. Influenced by a diverse range of sounds, I dove into San Francisco’s underground house movement in 1994.

After moving from NorCal to San Diego, the house flavor that I was bringing – SoCal heads from LA to SD were eating it up. This led to gigs with some of my admired peers such as Kevin Yost, Sen-Sei, Doc Martin, Dj Sneak, Halo, Hipp-e, Lance DeSardi, Mike “Agent X” Clark and Roy Davis Jr.

Next stop -- Humboldt County -- I joined forces with the beautiful local collective DeepGrooveSociety. I played some of my most memorable shows with and to some of the best househeads in California. Whether it be a glorious full moon party in the Redwoods, a small swetty bar on Arcata Square, or a day party on the Trinity River--it was always soulful and beautiful and well done. DGS and myself also started a monthly event "Mint" at 6Rivers Brewery in September 2005 and brought in such acts as Sen-Sei, Anthony Mansfield, Gabriel Black, and Neon Leon to a small, vibrant, rocking music scene.

Now back in San Diego and looking for good parties with good people. It's a simple equation for me.

no b.s...just good music, friends, a cold beer, and a good time

Afterglow....2009/08/25

Afterglow:
---good feelings remaining after a pleasurable or successful experience---

This summer marks my fourteenth year behind the turntables.

I would just like to take a moment and thank all of you for taking the time to enjoy my music. I also want to thank my man Bota for really getting me to pursue my dream of making people move, gyrate, smile, and have a good time. Over the years I've had the chance to play with some of my hero's as well as some of the best local talent in California and play all over the place, and I am so thankful for that. To the thousands of dancers, and the many who have given the nod after a sweaty night...I thank you. Coming from a musical family, I've always been taught that you don't just listen to music -- you feel the music, you are the music, and you transmit that feeling to the dancefloor -- Whether there's 5 or 500 on the dancefloor.

Rules I've always lived by as a dj....

Remember--it's never about the dj, it's about the music.
Make the vibe and take the dancers on a journey with you.
Never trust a dj who doesn't dance.
If you have an opinion or bias on what the dj is playing whether it be cd, tape, vinyl, or serato, then you're not hearing the music.
Bring it every time you play.
Dance like nobody's watching.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and I've loved you all!

Do you like Stories?2008/07/15

This a story set by the pool on a Saturday afternoon for the people.
Let me tell you my story...

You arrive at the party to find the pool packed, and all you friends are there on a sunny Saturday afternoon. A cold Pacifico is placed in your hand, and the soothing sounds of some deep house fill your ears while nodding your head by the pool. After 4 or so Pacifico's, you find yourself starting to groove and the sound picks up. People smiling all around, the sun shining off your shoulders-you start to get down. Before you know it you find yourself dancing in the shallow end, doublefisted and having a good time rockin' to the story told by fingers farnsworth....

This is a journey....

Let me know what you think!

Life @ 5am2009/07/08

Taking it back to a time, place, and sound that are very dear to me. Those deep, heady house sounds that just get you all warm and fuzzy inside and take you to a special place. Mining my deepest aural senses and guiding the vibe up and through different elements, I took myself back to that late evening stretch to keep your smile on your face and the love in your heart.

Enjoy!

Mad respect to Jonas on this one as well!
