Yousef – By The Way You Dance

1. By The Way You Dance
2. For The Terraces
3. For The Terraces (patrick topping remix)
4. An Old Friend 

Part One of a two four tracks EP’s Yousef will release on his own Circus Recordings this summer…

EP1 is designed to be colourful, four tracks of genre defying harmonic house, quirky techno and poignant story telling, already tested to devastating effect in Ibiza this summer.

By The Way You Dance gently unfolds with a glitchy drum kit, which is firmly locked together with the sleaziest of guitar riffs and haunting vocals. A contradictorily positive bassline leads the story into a string laden and almost moving repeat of crescendo’s like the sun emerging on a morning at burning man.

For The Terraces is driving oddball house & quirky techno, playful and almost hooky, and directly aimed at the club terraces of Ibiza and around the world. A real gem.

For The Terraces (Patrick Topping remix) 
takes a tougher stance on the original, leading it into LSD like mind cultivated craziness… Big bass, bigger drums and a scrappy dance off.

An Old Friend with David Williams (Y’s club version) is an update by Yousef of the lead track from his 2nd artist album ‘a product of your environment’. New drums, new hooks, new analogue bass creating a soundscape that naturally rides around the new arrangement with the same spirited fairy-tale of the original. A fine way to close this summers first Yousef EP.

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.

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
