At the age of 18 Damarii Saunderson was drafted, out of Northville High School, to play in the minor leagues for the Philadelphia Phillies. He was around 11 when he was first being scouted. However, he was to retire from ‘Baseball’ at around the age of 20 when he received a ‘slap’ tear injury to his throwing shoulder.It was an unfortunate injury, but at the same time it taught him a valuable life lesson and it took him straight into the path of music.Does this story have a ring to it? It should... As Damarii is the eldest son of Kevin Saunderson and Ann Saunderson and like Damarii, Kevin also retired from sport early to pursue his love of music.Fast forward to the end of 2012 (co-incidentally the same year that Dantiez [Damarii’s younger brother] also decided to pursue a career in music) and it would seem that both brothers were harbouring talents that their parents didn’t realise were hidden deep within them.For Damarii (the eldest of three brothers), it was after he retired from ‘baseball’ that he had the opportunity to go on a couple of trips with his Dad and he witnessed the emotion and happiness that the music brought to the people. This was to be one of the moments when he realised that he wanted to start making music himself. He says, it wasn’t a certain song that influenced him, but just the songs in general that his Dad played.“T he DJ’s that I look up to include; Derrick May and my Dad on the ‘Techno’ side (and of course many more),. Growing up, I listened to a lot of rap and hip hop, but I knew nothing about Electronic Dance Music until I was about 18. That said, I would describe the music I make as having influences of ‘Detroit Techno’. My Dad compares my style to a mixture of himself and Carl Craig, but that can change as I develop my production skills. My Mom and Dad have both inspired me to start making music. That said, my future goal is to simply take what they have done to the next level and I believe in myself to make that happen... Not an easy task, I know, but I'm up for the challenge ;)”...Damarii and his younger brother Dantiez , stepped into the world of producing at the same time and although they have two different sounds, it will certainly be interesting to see what could happen if these two forces come together....

The mysterious Amarone appeared on the scene in 2021. Named after his favourite wine, his music has the same rich full-body flavours. Every track has colourful organic melodies, and strong tech grooves to ensure that they sound just as suitable listening at home as in the club. The first release was on Joris Voorn's Spectrum records, followed by released on Go Deeva, Tuner, Polyptytch and a string of new releases set for the months ahead. There is plenty more to come, as you will soon find out ...

What more can be said about Yousef…

A leading figurehead in dance music. A man who has lived and breathed house music since he was a teenager, with over 20 years of dedication to the global electronic music scene, his contribution can’t be over exaggerated. Yousef, constantly pushing his own creative and artistic boundaries, while he is considered one of the best, most skilful and most respected UK DJs of all time. 

Yousef has now completed his 5th artist album, the truly accomplished “I Operate in Purple”.
The project has invited a series of world class musicians and singers to help Yousef realise his ambition to release a 14-track legacy project that leans upon his two decades in at the forefront of house music and plans to stand up next to the great dance music albums of our time. IOP 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’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. 

Circus 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 McVicker, 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
