Yousef

What’s The Best Night Out You’ve ever Had?
My “surprise” 30th birthday party in Liverpool this  year. Friends, family and a lock in. it was the best. the Cubans turned up and  got on the mic, full break dancing competitions with my mates, i didn’t know  that much silliness could exist in such a confined space. it made me very  happy that so many people put the effort in.
 
What’s Your Favourite Club?
Right now circus in Liverpool. from a djing  perspective its as good as it gets. ask cox and garnier for  confirmation…

What’s Your Favourite Record Of All-time?
There are too many to choose from i’m glad to  say.

What Record Can’t You Stand?
So many! each to his own though.

What Record Did You Lose Your Virginity  Too?
Setting the mood was low on the list of to do’s when i  lost my virginity. in fact losing my virginity was low on the list of things to do that evening…
 
What Was The Last Record You Bought?
Titty fuck by audioon.

Name Three Of Your Biggest Influences…..
Carl cox, he’s still very much an inspiration now, not  just as a dj by as a person, he’s been very supportive too.
My brothers tony and Nicky, they have been there as a  rock 100% of the time. even though we are apart alot we are very  close.
My first love. she brought me to life and showed me  the way and I’m very grateful for it.

Who Would Play You In ‘Yousef The Movie’
Someone charming and handsome, slick and charismatic.  probably Benny hill.

What’s Your Dream?
I’m doing it, really. my other dream is to feel  relaxed and at home and settled.

How Do You Escape?
i go for runs on the beach where i live in  Liverpool. when i come back I’m full of ideas and feel positive. i also  fantasise about Sarah beeny from “property ladder” renovating my  house…
 
What Is Your Favourite Possession?
My passport. its amazing to see where Ive been. its  madness really.

What Is Your Life Philosophy?
You can do anything you want to me as long as i can  do the same to you.

What’s In Your Pockets?
I’m sitting in my underwear in a hotel room in Sydney  so nothing.

If You Were An Animal, What Animal and  Why?
Some days a proud lion because being the king of the  jungle while you are waited on by your wife (lioness) sounds alright to me.  other days I’d be quite happy being a chimp. they are always seem to be having  a good time in Chester zoo, and they are great ice skaters.

You Are Having A Party, Whom Dead Or Alive Is On The  Guest List?
everyone who was at my 30th, plus those who could not  make it. MR T, David Hasselhoff, Patrick Bateman, Angelina Jolie too.

When Was The Last Time You Embarrassed Yourself?
I’m not embarrassed easily as i don’t see the big deal  if you doing something wrong, make a mistake or make a ass out of  yourself by falling over, its makes the world a happier place.
Saying that i was pretty sheepish when i returned to  the seen of my 30th birthday party a few days later to say thanks to the  owners of 3345 in Liverpool.
