Mandal & Forbes are quickly becoming one of the UK’s hottest duo’s in house music right now. 

Michael & Ian have been playing together for the last 10 years and have held residencies worldwide including Ibiza, Marbella & Dubai. With their own yearly sell event ‘Sin Sundays’ hosted in San Antonio’s infamous Ocean Club.

Ian was the host of Liverpool’s biggest weekend radio show Juice FM for over 10 years and travelled the world with them doing live shows from Mambo in Ibiza.

Michael & Ian are also the tour DJ’s for the Leeds brand Candypants and are often flying out to Australia & Asia on tour. 

3 years ago Mandal & Forbes finally got round to producing. First came ‘Never Let Go’ an updated & re-sung version of Tina Moore’s 1995 hit ‘Never Gunna Let You Go’ 

It was quickly signed up by Armin Van Burren’s Armada records and had a full release in 2015.

After the success of ‘Never Let Go’ the guys where approached by 3beat Records to remix Philip George’s number 1 track ‘Wish You Were Mine’ 

The remix reached number 1 on the billboard charts & Number 4 on the Shazam house charts with over 100k Shazams.

They then went on to remix, Lost Frequencies ‘Are You With Me’ Low Steppa’s ‘So Real’ David Zowie’s ‘House Every Weekend’ & Michael Mandal’s ‘I Don’t Know’

Most recently Mandal & Forbes have been working very close with Tough Love’s label ‘Get Twisted Records’ They have just remixed ASIAM ‘All Away’ which is doing big things on the house scene right now. They also have a future release with Defected DJ & Vocalist ‘Rae’ called ‘That Feeling’

Keep a look out for future tracks on Toolroom, Armada and also their Free Download series on Soundcloud. 

With their schedule filling up fast, we have high hopes that these two will quickly become pioneers in house music.

Solid Grooves Records audaciously introduces itself as one of the UK's finest House & Techno labels, a bold statement backed up by its hugely popular residencies in both Ibiza and London.

The recipe is simple, but efficient: Solid Grooves Records provides a signature heavy duty sound from a tight knit family of core artists, whilst championing emerging and prospering artists.  The label's sights are firmly set on the horizon, with a commitment to pursue dance-floor material which is both tasteful and effective, and to set the scene for a new breed of talent.

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

The definitive voice of Electronic Dance Music.
