Last month DJsounds hit Nation in Liverpool for one of the north’s most powerful parties – Circus. Here, before the party started, we grabbed co-founder Yousef for a chat about his Circus highlights and what’s fresh for 2007. With three packed rooms (Main Room, Courtyard and Annexe) and soo many top DJs (Groove Armada, Armand Van Helden, Felix Da Housecat, Eric Prydz, Steve Bug, SOS’s Demi, Desyn Masiello and Omid 16B, Paul Woolford, Nils Noa, Lewis Boardman, Stel Alexander and, of course, Yousef himself) this anniversary episode was a monumental roadblock for all. Yousef’s new Solo double mix CD for Underwater Records is out now and he’s currently on tour in Australia, but for tickets to the next Circus gig (taking place this Saturday at The Barfly in Liverpool) check out: Chibuku Words: LRC
