Along with dance music luminary Pete Tong, Circus resident and promoter Yousef will be present alongside two huge guests: globe-trotting legend Sasha and Richie Hawtin, who makes his mouth-watering debut at The Masque. This is one of Circus’ most inspired lineups and represents just how far the club has evolved; working together with BBC Radio 1 for the world-famous Essential Mix is a huge honour for all involved at the club. Residents Lewis Boardman and Scott Lewis also star, along with the very welcome return of Alex Wolfenden for a special Mambo Set in Ink. Yousef says that, “After being a avid follower of the world famous Essential Mix since day one and after doing 3 studio mixes and even two live hosts myself, now being asked to house the celebration of the 500th DJ to feature on the Essential Mix is literally the best pat on the back we could of ever wished for at Circus.

would say from my time at uni living there, circus gets alot less bellends than digital most nights. surprised this isn't at nation.
there is definitely a lot less ''bell-ends'' or as they call em over Liverpool way ''lid's'' at Circus than digital. And it's not at Nation due to the fact Masque has had a hell of a lot spent on it recently and Rich (promoter alongside Yos) has put loads of effort into the whole shebang to give it a place to call home, and actually now is Circus' 'home' ....and better than Nation, they had Digweed, Villalobos, GWilson all on last weekend and it went down a storm look at the line-ups, they are always massive and generally packed to the rafters, get yourselves along, will be epic, and the flange is mint
The Masque is awesome - a couple of thousand people all going off to Villalobos last month, in the sweltering heat, on those tiers was an immense few hours.
Haha were you there?! To be fair that only happened (it seemed) in the last hour of his three hour set. After then its like he gave up bothering. Mind you, i might have been so trashed i could have listened to 2 hours of skipping needles, trainwrecks and bad mixes, and still thought it was the most amazing thing i'd ever heard in my life.
Agreed. I was pretty much amazed at how much better the crowd was here, than at your typical night in Newcastle (At Digital). A place like Liverpool carries a load of presumptions about how the clubbers are going to be, but this completely blew those out the water.
