YOUSEF ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM “I OPERATE IN PURPLE”
 
Legendary DJ, producer, promoter, and label owner YOUSEF marks 30 years impacting the electronic music scene with his fifth and final album, "I OPERATE IN PURPLE," self-released this September on Circus Recordings. 
 
Following his deeply cathartic and moving previous album, 9 Moor Drive, Yousef delivers I Operate in Purple - a timely, joyful, uplifting, and emotionally resonant body of work. True to his three-decade-long career immersed in house music culture, his music remains as personal as it is ambitious. 
I Operate in Purple weaves together inspirations drawn from hundreds of visited cities, thousands of parties, and countless life moments, that have helped shape his vibrant journey. Yousef's album purposely features original songs, live vocals, and collaborations with world-class musicians, all of which help Yousef celebrate both his personal evolution and the future of his colourful house music, squarely and ambitiously aiming I Operate in Purple to be considered as important as the classic dance music albums he was so inspired by in the late 90's. Each of the 14 tracks comes with its own 3D story, expertly brought to life by Vulture - Indonesia's finest visuals team. I O P is a powerful culmination of three decades of artistry, innovation, and passion, this album is a fitting tribute to the legacy in the scene. It’s a compelling reflection of where he and the genre have been—and where they’re headed. 
 
 
The third single to drop from I O P is Higher Place, once again a collaboration with Brighton trio ‘Kuuda’. Higher Place is an anthemic and joyful original singalong that’s carried by on a powerful disco infused house juggernaut. A certain nameless electronic music star loved the track so much he made his own version for Yousef as a gift!  This has summer festivals written all over it. Simply huge!

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
