Biography
A leading figurehead in dance music. A man who has lived and breathed house music with 25 years of dedication to the global electronic music scene. Yousef contribution can’t be over exaggerated. As a world class DJ, a producer, a promoter, a label owner and fully accomplished artist, Yousef is constantly pushing his own creative and artistic boundaries
Yousef has just released his 5th artist album, the truly excellent “I Operate in Purple” and within a week it reached Number 1 overall album on Beatport. I Operate in Purple has massed 1000’s of global radio plays and playlists, is in the boxes of everyone from Cox to Calvin to Carola, and the album stands up next to the great dance music albums of our time.
In production of his I O P album, Yousef’s invited a series of world class musicians and singers to help Yousef realise his ambition to release a 15-track album that leans upon his decades at the forefront of house music. I Operate in Purple eloquently manoeuvrers through original vocals, radio ready crossover and the emotive underground. Each track comes with its own individual and original 3D video that reveals the narrative Yousef has created. This is easily Yousef most unforgettable work he has ever created. Yousef performed I O P at Circus Liverpool, where he introduced the 60 min I O P dex/efx/live show, here Yousef invites his band of singers and musicians who helped him realise the project to perform live, with the backdrop on the incredible visuals that have been created for the show.
Yousef’s powerhouse record label Circus Recordings has released music from many of the world’s most significant names, from Carl Cox to Kerri Chandler to Green Velvet to Jamie Jones, all while breaking completely new artists from all over the world directly to give them a much-needed platform. The record label runs parallel his equally globally respected Circus Events, where Yousef holds one of the longest and most important DJ residencies in the history of UK club culture.
Cirus at Blackstone Warehouse is the UK’s most cutting-edge warehouse venue. In term of sound, lights and staging there is nothing like it in the UK. Circus has invited names from Peggy Gou to Pawsa, Bicep to Ewan McVicar, Chris Stussy to Micheal Bibi and literally every major name in electronic music to join Yousef at his two decades long party…
Yousef’s prolific music output consistently sees his music in the boxes of every major DJ from Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Carl Cox, Fisher, The Blessed Madonna, Seth Troxler, Honey Dijon and everyone in-between.
Yousef has released more music on the world’s best record labels than almost any other artist in his field. Seminal releases on Crosstown Rebels, Desolat, Cocoon, Moon Harbour, Knee Deep in Sound, Defected, Hard Times, Renaissance and of course his own legendary Circus Recordings.
Yousef’s trusted voice led him to be requested to represent electronic music community for a private meeting with ‘HRH Prince William’ the future King of England, and later with many leading MP’s, to relay the difficulties dance music is facing through before and since covid. These efforts helped pave the way for Yousef’s Circus event to be asked to take on the colossal task to organise ‘The First Dance’, the world’s first sanctioned music test event since covid struck… The monumental event captured the attention of the entire world and its major media, with 7 billion online and news engagements, and is now cited as ‘one of the most significant moments in electronic music history”’. Yousef & Circus were given the BBC “Impact Award” on Radio One for all the work done to help the music industry in 2021
