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 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 (DEMF / Fuse-In Festival / Movement 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. Sharif is also an operative for Detroit's most elusive organization: Underground Resistance. In addition to all this, from April 2004 to June 2005, Sharif through his Softcurls crew directed the program of the most critically acclaimed new club in Detroit & curated a surprising abundance of legendary nights in various dark corners of the city, ranging from Alexander Robotnick's first appearance ever in the Motor City with surprise warm up DJ set by Carl Craig, a Prince concert afterparty with Moodyman playing all Prince records & special edits, Juan Atkins with Perspects of Le Car as the warm up DJ, Derrick May, Rob Hood djing all his own records, Detroit's notorious annual Cannonball event with Electric Skin (BMG of Ectomorph and Sal Principato of Liquid Liquid)... the list goes on...̸“Sounds To Come” (Special Forces) 2020 "Techno Cave - Sharif Laffrey Nightwork" (FutureBoogie Recordings) 2019 "Villainous" (Le Temps Perdu) 2018 "Scream - Sharif Laffrey Nightwork" (Discos Capablanca) 2018 "Tangier/Everything Is Nice" (ESP Institute) 2018 “And Dance” (Special Forces) 2018 "Always" (Discos Capablanca) 2017 "Key Jam A.C.I.D."
