CIRCUS – TEN YEARS AND COUNTING
When Yousef first conceived the idea of Circus over a decade ago, he wanted to promote a party in his then hometown of Liverpool for somewhere he could play quality electronic music and have fun. And from its first bass-reverberating session, Circus has evolved into one of the best house and techno parties on the planet.
Circus has come a long way. What started off as a simple ‘house party’ in one small room has become a globally recognised club night of immense stature, reaching a decade of brilliant parties which inspire its audience and DJs alike. Circus has hosted pretty much every iconic figure of dance music; Sven Vath, Carl Cox, Loco Dice, Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier (DJ sets & live), Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, Adam Beyer, Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Butch, Sasha, Seth Troxler, John Digweed, Aeroplane, Heidi, Dennis Ferrer, Magda, Heidi, Maya Jane Coles, Nick Curly, Tim Green, Raresh, Guy Gerber and many, many more have all contributed to the club’s illustrious history, whilst helping to set its future course.
Circus has enhanced Liverpool’s reputation as an epicentre for electronic music culture. Its revered status is augmented by the quality of its bookings and the loyalty of its crowd, crowned by the 10th anniversary celebrations in September 2012, and the series of X parties through the rest of the year. It’s a club whose founding ethos remains the same to this day: ‘serious music and fun times’. It’s also a club whom for each show gives a debut, introducing new talent to the city; Circus was the first to bring the likes of Loco Dice and Davide Squillace to the UK and among the first to champion now global stars like Seth Troxler and Jamie Jones, when they were unknown years ago.

Introducing Gorgon City
After their collaboration with Yasmin, ‘Real’, was proclaimed Nick Grimshaw’s Record of the Week on his BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show, the track sold over 30,000 copies in the UK alone, so it’s a pretty safe bet to say that a lot of people know about Gorgon City. Signed to the Black Butter label the London duo are part of the new breed of producers fusing modern production techniques with classic sounds creating music that explores the point where garage and deep house can procreate effortlessly and they’ve been peddling their wares across the capital for a good while now. Consistently using their time to align themselves with like minded artists, they’ve just remixed Basement Jaxx’s ‘Back to the Wild’ and have announced a new single with classical crossover maestro’s, Clean Bandit, ahead of their appearance in Room Two for Circus May 26th

Deetron out of my head mixtape
We have word that there’s a new album on the way from our favourite Swiss born techno aficionado, Deetron. Suffice to say, he has teased it out a bit – it’s been six years since his debut for Music Man Records – but fans can take solace in the fact that the follow up to 2006’s Twisted is due out this summer. And to make the wait a bit easier he’s put out this ‘Out of My Head Mixtape’ on the label’s Soundcloud.
