With a sound that seamlessly combines the darkness & power of acid, the symphony of trance and divine rhythm of techno, A*S*Y*S is without question one of Pharmacy’s perennial favourites and a global ambassador for 303 fuelled hardstyle terror! Frank Ellrich is the tormented genius behind such twisted dance floor anthems as Acid Nightmare and the classic reworking of The Prodigy’s Voodoo People- No More Fucking Rock&Roll! A*S*Y*S has also tightened his grip on global hardstyle domination with his recent project Future Tribes which has seen him perform in front of 40,000 screaming punters at Amsterdam arena’s Q-DANCE as well as producing our very own the Theme From Pharmacy together with Derb. One, two, A*S*Y*S is coming for you!

Bryan Zentz is no stranger to techno. His signature melodic techno monsters have swept the world over and landed him regular appearances on Carl Cox’s “Intec” imprint. With well over 50 records on labels from Primate to Jericho to Intec, Bryan Zentz performs the world over, spreading his infectious grooves, and more tech-house styles. The only way to describe his music is that it sits somewhere between old school trancey techno and acid house.
Awesome stuff...

With classic shifts at Creamfields to Tidy Weekenders, she has travelled the world over and is back in Australia for good!

DJ Session One aka Blutonium Boy began in 1988 and he’s come along way in the last 18 years with his Blutonium Records label still going from strength to strength. Playing the world over, his Blutonium Boy guise focuses on his hard-style, progressive trance and hard trance approach. With much chart success in Europe and Germany, his singles and albums and compilations sell by the truckload and he’s a regular feature for Ministry Of Sound in Australia. Already a Melbourne favourite, it’s time to take him to the next level as he stirs 5000 revellers into a frenzy on the killer mainstage system.

After an awesome performance at Sunshine People Jan 2006, Zombie Nation returns for what will be another cracker of a live set. From his on-stage Zombie outfit antics to deep pulsating electro, neo-punk techno and his more industrial John Starlight harder-faster sounds, Zombie will cause a frenzy showcasing his monster classics Kernkraft and his latest offering, his killer electro album “Black Toys”. A wicked live show, a quality producer, an awesome new album. Sickness to the maximum.
