YOUSEF(Circus Liverpool,Cocoon) Fri 2nd April We are very pleased to announce our next guest at Headway is the brilliant YOUSEF, of Circus fame and more recently Sven Vath's brand Cocoon, as well as having numerous releases on labels such as Renaissance, Berwick Street Recordings, CR2 and Plastic City. Yousef has not played in Dundee for nearly 10 years, this night is going to be HUGE, do not miss it!!! HEADWAY Friday 2nd April 2010 featuring... YOUSEF (Cocoon / Circus, Liverpool / Berwick Street / CR2 / Renaissance) + Andy Barton Neil Clark Bruce Anderson Graeme Binnie The Reading Rooms Blackscroft Dundee Doors: 10.30pm - 3.30am (TBC) Entry: £10 on the door all night http://www.yousef.co.uk http://www.club-headway.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/clubheadway http://www.bebo.com/clubheadway http://www.myspace.com/clubheadway http://www.myspace.com/thereadingrooms Where does Yousef stand in 2009? As he approaches his third decade in the business, nearly fifteen years of acid house dedication that has seen him throw his life into dance music, there’s still room for growth artistically and professionally. Completely comfortable in his own skin, yet itching for progress and further creative empowerment, Yousef has strode headlong into the year with increasing maturity and prowess. Perhaps the talking point of the year so far refers to the imminent arrival of his artist album, his first proper. Whilst 2005’s ‘Friends’ EP saw a collection of collaborations extend the usual club format of single, this is Yousef tackling that tricky beast completely on his own, finally laying down on wax a watermark of his effervescent personality. It showcases the different dynamics to his sound as a performer alongside material more reflective of the man away from the booth, with the club tracks already seeing some heavy support from the usual rag tag ensemble of dance music greats; Sasha, Nic Fanciulli, Carl Cox, Steve Lawler, Radio Slave and Nick Curly among them. It’s this process of constant evolution rather than reinvention which has characterised Yousef’s career, and kept him at the forefront of promoters’ thoughts across the globe. He’s played in pretty much every nation the world over, marking one first last year as the first western DJ to play the troubled nation of Syria. Ibiza, with its arcane hedonism and wild party ethos has always served as an adequate stomping ground for his cross genre grooves. Last season he was the only DJ to be asked to play at all three of Space’s marquee nights, both Danny Tenaglia and Carl Cox’s promotions and of course the jewel in the island’s crown, We Love... Sundays. And of course he’s back there this year... with a vengeance. He’s also clocked up his first London Residency by inking a monthly deal at Matter, the brainchild of Fabric impresario Keith Reilly. And there’s the small matter of him running the London marathon, raising cash for CALM and showcasing his serious edge to the party reputation he’s always encased. Record Label Owner and Internationally renowned club promoter, it’s a far cry form the excess which defined wilder youth, confirming his professionalism and dedication to the acid house dream. Following on from previous work for CR2, JBO, Skint and Underwater and Berwick street his productions are still getting to outlets beyond Circus Recordings. This Year He’s already remixed Stu Hirst, Fergie, Tobii and Onionz to devastating effect. Not stopping there, this year he has remixed two UK legends, Xpress2 classic “say what” see’s the “circus rework” treatment from yousef, whilst Fatboy Slim’s brand new single with rasp voiced rudeboy Jamie T ‘Local Town’, will feature a stonking Yousef remix. Nic Fanciulli asked him for a single from the aforementioned album’ “i suggest” drops on Saved Records in september 09 with an equally as strong “firecracker” as its flip side. The albums lead track “Legacy” was picked up for single release by renaissance. Leading to plays all over specialist dace radio world wide (most notabley john digweed, carl cox and bbc radio one’s pete tong), as well the coverted DMC single of the week where legacy was described by kiss needs as “one of the stand out track of 2009. Deeper into 2009 Yousef stepped into Germany, the hub of worldwide electronic music by singing two new ep’s Mannhiem premier league label “PLASTIC CITY”. More recently after season long support from Sven Vath, Yousef has a single release on the worlds most followed electronic music brand COCOON. Whether criss-crossing the globe with his arsenal of varied sounds or impregnating his own individual aural histrionics on wax, Yousef is stamping his identity on dance music and leaving a lasting impression. There’s few who come close in terms of dedication or in the variance of approach, Yousef hits each and every base with alarming regularity.
