No no no dont stop a rockin...Yes yes yes this rocks! (homer simpson).
If this pharmacy is even just half as good as the last one then it will still be an incredible night/morning. Scot Project was unbelievable at the last pharmacy party and Chocci was quite impressive too.
Saw Cosmic Gate at Gods Kitchen and didn't think their set was that bad. I'm really looking forward to this. I agree with you Anarky, this could very well be better than 2 Tribes.......as long as the original floor clearer Hellraiser doesn't shite up the decks for too long.

im fucking excited bout this now. i've just chucked on all my cosmic gate tracks while doing my h\work and i forgot how fucking good there shit is! i think cos no one really plays there stuff locally i just forgot. but my goodness no other dj's cld get me so pumped up while writing up a report!
ive been listening to all their older stuff, like melt to the ocean and mental atmosphere with that spacey chick voice, unbelievable stuff!
please give them AT LEAST 2hrs and try and get them to play Cosmic Gate -Hardcore.
cya all there and thank god for long weekends cos i think this will be huge! (we do get that monday off yer?)

should be there....
Guess whose doing a double weekend (again). Attending 2ManyDJs on friday who I wouldn't miss for the world. But I've been hearing good things about cosmic gate, and any excuse to get out my candy finery is good enough for me.

maybe i shouldn't be so harsh as their set really wasn't suited to the timeslot, but after catching cosmic at godskitchen last year, i'm really not that keen.
not only was their track selection just atrocious for their time, but they also fucked up quite a few mixes. this time last year i would have been ecstatic about these guys coming out, but that sorta ruined their appeal
granted... they sucked arse hard at gods but they're set at QBH earlier last year was mindblowing, dun want 2 miss it

For all you breakers and electro geeks don't forget that for the first time Pharmacy is featuring the Zoo Breaks/Electro stage serving up lashings of dark electro and a bucket of Kentucky Fried Breaks. Headed up by the Pharaoh of Funk Sharif and the prince of electro geekery, local Lasergun anti-hero Dave Pham, they are joined by Jason Rudeboy Esquire, Hell Kitte, Team Upfront (Stevie B, Amron and SymonSez), Nigel Jacotine, Osyris, Hiho De Silva...

Over seas and sands, the music could be heard, felt and pulsated through his blood. From a young age, Sharif Galal was fiercely passionate about music. It started with his prized possession, a short wave radio. The tiny transmitter picked up the sounds of the BBC which brought the world and its diversity to his home in Alexandria Egypt. Growing up in a British Boarding school he was heavily influenced by the sounds and growing music scene emanating from the UK. Being a card carrying member of the ABC (Alexandria British Community) it seems destiny had its hand in crafting Sharifs future career as radio presenter at the "other" ABC (Australian Broadcast Commission).
In 85 he landed his first Djing gig at the only nightclub in Alexandria "Georges" and was later employed by Radio Cairo (1986) as an on air English presenter which beamed through out greater Europe and UK. His shows featured a unique blend of middle eastern sounds combined with the new wave pop music of the UK. After a small taste of the impending western culture, Sharif went in search of greater heights moving to the UK in 87 playing a number of parties and immersing himself in London's bristling music culture.
By 88 he would move to Melbourne Australia picking up DJ residencies at The Grainstore, Inflation, the Royal Derby and then holding a two year stint at The Metro. Not content with just being a DJ, Sharif tried his hand at journalism forming the first dance column in Beat Magazine and in 89 combining his vast experience back into radio on 3RRR. While in studying at Melbourne University Sharif realised the growing club culture and saw a need for university held dance parties / discos. Melbourne was growing too small for him.
With his degree almost finished, the bigger smoke was calling and in 93 he picked up and moved to Sydney immediately finding his way into the clubs, landing gigs and starting his own club night "Sub Club" at Kinselas. To fuel his appetite for new music, Sharif in 1994 landed a gig at WEA as their dance music consultant and held the position on guiding the major label through the dance music industry for 2 years. As his tenure was coming to a close, never complacent, Sharif sourced and landed a spot at SBS TV as a researcher for Nomad, before joining SBS Radio as a jurno and broadcaster with his own hourly show. Full of ideas, he was instrumental in laying the foundations for a specialist music program for the younger audience that SBS was lacking. His ideas and creative input would eventually evolve into Alchemy for SBS Radio, which then morphed into Alchemy for SBS TV.
With his growing involvement in the dance music industry and a startling dj set on a new program with the national broadcaster (Triple J's Mix Up) he was eventually poached by Triple J in 95 to fill the specialist dance show spot left by the departing Andy Giltre. The Groove Train was born !
The Groove Train continues to this day to be one of the longest weekly specialist show on Triple J with an estimated audience of 100,000 plus and growing, worldwide. It is a great mix of sounds which highlights the diversity that encompasses the vague genre of dance music.
An important facet to the success of his show is Sharif's love of Djing. In the many years he has played Australia wide at Big Day Out, Livid, Offshore, Falls, Vibes on a Tropical Day, Mobile Home, Smut, Crank Parties @ Jindabyne, Room Nightclub, Sunday School, One Love, Revolver, Chinese Laundry, Slip Inn, Good Vibrations, Q Bar, Beach Rd Hotel, Family, GPO, Monastery, Viva, My Bar, Verve, Ambar, Redheads, Minke Bar – while also having his hand at production completing a remix in the late 90's for DIG "Upside (smoking goat remix)" (EMI), Mix CD Vol. 1 (ABC / Universal Music), as well providing his extensive music knowledge for hire as a freelance compilation consultant for BMG Australia.
