It's an exciting time for Circus, who celebrate their 10th anniversary at the end of September with the help of Sasha, Seth Troxler and more. The middle of October then sees the release of Yousef’s 2nd artist album, A Product of Your Environment, before the fabled Halloween party on October 27th. The party will also be the launch event for Yousef's inspiring new album - which sets out to paint a technicolour picture of a DJ long player to become Yousef's finest work to date.

Nina Kraviz returns to Circus after her May incursion in 2011. She’s the hotly-tipped siren who has had the tastemakers salivating for the past few years. Her label roll call is as seductively pitched as her sound; Radio Slave’s Rekids, Trenton, Naif and then Jus-Ed’s imprint neatly sum up her vibe: Pure Underground Quality. Deep, groovy, twisted and dripping with funk, the Russian beat herder is just as adept behind the decks, with her flawless sound set to entrance the Circus faithful.

Berlin’s delectable groove shaman Cassy also stars, the global conundrum whose rich and detailed ancestry is reflected in her wide and varied sonic musings. You only have to look at the cast of people championing her - Ricardo Villalobos, Mathew Jonson and Steve Bug are all her co-conspirators – to see how much respect is given to her.

Revered deep-house maestro Kerri Chandler adds further credence to the show. Few producers in the history of dance music have made such a rapid and far-reaching impact on the electronic music scene as Eats Everything aka Bristolian Daniel Pearce. With a startlingly rapid rise through the ranks, he has defined a whole new genre of forward-thinking underground house music that draws elements from classic house, UK bass music, Detroit techno, jungle and early rave. Already a Circus fave, he and Kerri are much-anticipated.

Circus’ two residents, Lewis Boardman and Scott Lewis, complete the lineup with their invigorating house and tech sounds.
