    “When We Were Free” underscores the lockdown experience from the recent global pandemic, which took the world by storm. The track touches upon the struggle that has been felt over the world, but particularly with the artists who have been fighting for the dance music industry and its community to survive.

    While spear-heading his own music label Circus Recordings and his own independent career,  Yousef has partnered alongside the NTIA (Night Time Industry Association), looking to support his colleagues as the industry in the UK comes to a screeching halt. Leading him speaking directly to HRH The Duke Of Cambridge, Prince William to highlight the issues faced by his contemporaries in Liverpool and across the country. 

    Inspired by the hard work of Manchester United & England footballer, Marcus Rashford, the pair have joined together to direct all proceeds from the single towards family and child-based projects, the Sefton Community Pantry and the Ronald McDonald House Manchester.  For additional information on the Ronald Mcdonald House Manchester charity, please visit the following link.

    Recorded live in front of over 26,000 people on the Neon Garden Stage, this became Yousef’s final set before the entertainment industry began to shut down festivals and events due to the Coronavirus pandemic. 

    The mix, which includes 120 minutes of some of the most cutting-edge house and techno music along with a plethora of exclusive and unreleased material designed specifically for his set, is the first of its kind for Insomniac to deliver.

    “This was the best gig I’ve ever done in 20 years of touring, the excitement and electricity and connection with the audience was like nothing I’ve ever felt. It happened to be the very last set I played before the world changed. I feel honoured that I got the opportunity to share this moment with so many people, which was likely their final dance too. I’m so happy that we got to record this set with the audience featured so the world can hear what a special crowd and atmosphere it is there. I gave absolutely everything to this set, and as always, the Mexican fans gave it right back to me. I can’t wait for people to hear this.”
