about

SHARIF LAFFREY
Sharif Laffrey Born in Detroit, Michigan his recent productions, Sharif has been DJing internationally for 20 years. Before producing music, Sharif's participation in Detroit's early rave scene during the early 1990s led him to organize loft parties & DJing. Loft party highlights include Jack White dancing in his underwear & Kraftwerk showing up unannounced. In his ever low key mode, Sharif has quietly kept the Detroit night scene alive in a time when just about all others had given up or moved out. Sharif has programmed the Underground Stage of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2003, 2004 and in 2005 curated the new TodaysMusic Stage showcasing artists ranging from Wolf Eyes, Tamion 12 Inch, the legendary ESG and Liquid Liquid to Thomas Fehlmann and Legowelt.

Youry

Resident at 宀 Club, Hong Kong 4 am on a Saturday at a packed sweaty club in Sheung Wan, body to body dancing to a range of sounds from Boy Harsher to an unreleased remix of Madonna’s “Bedtime Story” to Islamic chants over a marching techno beat. Just one night before, in the very same district, police were firing rounds and rounds of tear gas to freedom-fighting protesters. That pretty much sums up what Youry does now: DJing from his heart; taking risks and making history despite chaos and negativity. Youry was born in the late eighties in Antwerp in the background of the nascent EBM / Big Beat scene in Belgium. His father was a musician and Jazz producer turned entrepreneur, while his Chinese Cambodian mother gave him an Asian sensitivity. But he really caught his dance music bug when he saw Akufen playing at Montreal’s Stereo in the early noughties. Since then Youry has become a vinyl addict, building up a meticulously categorised collection. His DJing career took off in 2015, setting foot at various clubs and festivals in Hong Kong such as Shi Fu Miz, Sonar, and Acadana. Since 2018 he has become a resident DJ at 宀 club, widely regarded as the first venue in Hong Kong to be on par with the best clubs in the global dance scene. It is here that he earned the freedom to build up all-night-long eclectic sets. As the local situation gets more volatile, a party where people can feel free becomes more relevant than ever. The stakes are high, but Youry is determined.
