what more can be said about carl cox the term legend is thrown about way too easily in electronic music, but there is no question about the status of dance music historys most recognisable global figure. a musical ambassador, a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno and a professional dj since his early teens. carl has been playing music, breaking tunes and celebrating life and never losing sight of his passions for over 30 years.

with *believe in love* yousef returns home to circus recordings with 3 cuts that have been turning heads all summer long. the title track features the legendary vocal of roy davis jr who once again, asks the world a poignant question. a rolling, infectious and gnarly groove develops and unfolds into a long and harmonic breakdown before a blistering crescendo. designed for the heads but with still enough action for the people that follow yousefs more musically trickier offerings.
just a beat is exactly that. yousef busts out a stripped back boogie bass over tight drums and oddball acid. no messing around, heads down, hands up. what is revolution is completely reworked by circus label mates acid mondays. remixing one of the stand out cuts from yousefs recent *a product of your environment* artist album, the mondays show how to bring authentic house music into the 21st century.

each track has been produced, played on, arranged and mixed by yousef, with collaborations coming from mercury prize nominee gwilyam simcock on the open and fresh sounding album finale dissolve . in fear of dusk features neil campbell, one of the uk s finest classical guitar players, creating an evocative masterpiece that is arguably yousef s strongest (and most complicated) club offering yet.already the dancefloor workouts have received heavy support from dj elite, with loco dice, magda, carl cox, guti, uner and nic fanciulli already wearing thin the promo copies. the project has allowed yousef to open up his collaborative instincts too, inviting some unknown but extremely talented musicians to perform.

having wowed us with last summers argentina ep for the label, tom returns to circus with his latest work, the four track white drum ep. whilst its heavy on the bass, this new ep also demonstrates the maturing of flynns production with his impressive use of vocals and melody throughout. having now played events in both liverpool and london, tom flynn has been welcomed further into the circus fold and his white drum ep confirms him as one of the family!

formed somewhere in the 5th dimension, acid mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts negghead and lex wolf. brought together by their love for fat beats, inter dimensional travel & cups of tea, they are on a never-ending journey exploring inner and outer space. expect altered states of hallucinogenic house and reality bending techno. it would be a cliché to say they have a great future, but they’ve been there and beyond and have returned to the now to do it all again…
