Based on the sands of Praia Brava, with a pleasant view of the Atlantic Ocean, Warung Beach Club is a totally nature integrated atmosphere, which was developed using the Bali Island as the main decoration theme. Even the name of the club was inspired by its culture language. Warung means home for the natives from Bali. Recognized as the electronic music temple on the south of Brazil, Warung has one main dance floor with two vip areas and a second outdoor stage. Its reputation is remarkable because of its unforgettable summer seasons, the ones which the club invites the greatest names from the modern electronic scene to enjoy the hottest parties at this amazing tropical paradise, year by year.

YOUSEF - 1HR RECORDED LIVE FROM CIRCUS LIVERPOOL, UK. APRIL 24TH 2011

www.facebook.com/yousefcircus- www.twitter.com/yousefcircus 
My winning mix from Muzik Magazines bedroom bedlam dj competition.
the mix was recorded in october 1997 on 2 technics 1210's and numark mixer. The sound quality is not up to todays standards but its still ok. if you dont know, Muzik Magazine had a monthly dj comp where each winner got a gig at a major club (james zabiela also won one month)

as it was recorded on cassette tape there is a short break in the middle of the mix (where the tape flips over). The mix was recorded Live in one take and comes with the occasional mistake, its raw and has loads of energy and a selection of great tracks.
sadly soundcloud couldnt cope with a 90min WAV. so its a 320 mp3

for me its one of my favorite mixes ive ever done.
the article in the picture says its from feb 1997 but its feb 1998.
hope you enjoy.

CARL COX AND YOUSEF - LIVE - BACK 2 BACK @ CIRCUS - LIVERPOOL. APRIL 24TH 2011

Across a string of well received records on Seth Troxler's Play It Say It, 20/20 Vision and Moan Recordings, The Mekanism has honed a refreshingly uninhibited sound - one that pops with joyful expression and works to serve the sort of free-flowing parties he regularly plays across the US and Mexico.

Here, he delivers his trademark sound with 'Do The Disco' - a rapturous cut that features percussion from Grammy Award-winning percussionist Jorge Bezerra and an alt sax replaying of 'Do It At The Disco' by Gary's Gang by Tom Barford with a gracious nod from Nervous and Uni Disc.

The taught skins of Bezerra's drums rattle out of the blocks and get things off to an electrifying start. Pattered into dexterous of polyrhythms, they carry that certain energy that drives a marrow-deep motivation to move while a straight 4/4 kick maintains a solid boom throughout.

Jorge Bezerra is a Grammy Award-winning Musician and Percussionist who has worked alongside many great artists throughout his career, notably on Ludovic Navarre’s St Germain project, on stage with the wonderful Melody Gardot and as an integral member of the Joe Zawinul Syndicate that allowed him to share the stage with other greats, such as Herbie Hancock, Bebel Gilberto, Hitonari Tsuji, Cheick Tidiane and Bobby McFerrin. 

Barford's sax is steadily filtered in while a bossy bass line walks up and down and the mood begins to bubble. Drums, sax and bass take turns to grab centre stage and the resultant vibe is feverish, balmy and jammed full of fun.

Florence’s disco maverick Dukwa pulls into the glitter-streaked fast lane with a double dose of fierce funk and futuristic flair.

'Nobody Else' is heartbreak on the dancefloor - a soaring vocal hook, luscious pads, and deep-disco groove collide in a moment of pure emotional glamour.
'F### U, I Am Kind!' is mirrorball mischief: crunchy drums, cosmic stabs, and a message for the haters served with a wink and a hip thrust.

High drama, high fashion, and high-grade club heat. Dukwa’s here for the lovers, the loners, and the late-night dreamers. Nobody else will do.

Cira Cira (Extended Mix)

Finding new artists and helping them deliver straight fire for DJs is the core of what we do at Glasgow Underground. Spanish deep house and disco producer Chanknous has a sound that is close to our heart, and with releases on Deepalma and collaborations with the likes of Lee Wilson, he's in that bubbling-under zone that we love to develop. For his GU debut, he takes Britney’s noughties smash and gives it a slow-burning makeover. Add some classic house stabs, a wickedly wandering bass line, and you have a killer slice of Zara deepness.

Chanknous - Gimme More (Extended Mix)

https://material.bio.to/SayYeahEP

From the vocal-driven uplift of the title track to rolling, late-night cuts built for selectors, Say Yeah captures the spirit of Future Disco: forward-thinking house with timeless appeal.

Tiger Stripes delivers three tracks made for dancers, DJs and dreamers alike.

Say Yeah EP drops on Future Disco – say it loud.

French underground hitmakers Oden & Fatzo return to Defected alongside producer Romeo Louisa with ‘Be The One’. Following a string of certified dance favourites on the London label, including 2024 summer smash ‘Tell Me What You Want’ with Poppy Baskcomb and more recently ‘Only For Tonight’ with m.O.N.R.O.E and Matluck, the Parisian duo are back with their most ambitious song yet alongside long-time friend and collaborator Romeo Louisa. Hailing from the French Riviera, Romeo Louisa’s soulful, garage-adjacent sonic have led to collaborations with house’s freshest names, including Josh Butler, THEOS and a remix from DJ Steaw. Co-produced with the Grammy award-winning Picard Brothers, ‘Be The One’ is an energetic record with vibrant bursts of funk, filtered vocals and delicious synthwork paying homage to their French electronic heritage.

Chaney returns to Kookoo Records with Need Your Loving, a two-track release that channels his signature mix of nostalgia and peak-time energy. The title track reworks Gayle Adams into a disco house anthem built for packed dancefloors, while Hold On Me takes perfectly its role of b-side being the perfect filler to any good disco-house DJ set. True to the sound that’s made him one of the UK’s most in-demand producers, Chaney blends classic disco influences with modern house production to deliver music that feels both timeless and fresh. With heavyweight support behind him and a string of acclaimed releases across Toolroom, Insomniac, and beyond, this release is another reminder of why his tracks ignite dancefloors worldwide.

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
