The Circus Halloween Party Returns!

The end of the month sees the legendary Liverpool night take over The Masque with its biggest and most bad ass Circus of the year - the annual Halloween party. 

This year, the inaugural fancy dress spectacular will be headlined by two heroes of summer 2011; Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus. Jones continues to be a renaissance man of modern dance music, taking the blueprint of contemporary house one step further by infusing it with everything from disco to pop music.  Lazarus, meanwhile, commands just as much respect. His brilliantly irrepressible imprint Crosstown Rebels remains at the vanguard of modern music, building on the profile of previous label City Rockers. Recently he’s released a brilliantly expansive artist album on Get Physical, mixed the Fabric54 compilation and continues to offer weird and wonderful music from off the dancefloor on his celebrated Lazpod podcasts. 

Of course the Theatre always has the same star; Circus’ founder and resident DJ, Yousef. 2011 has been great to Yousef; he’s all set to drop his 2nd artist album which shows his aesthetic evolution. He’s just finished a season in Ibiza for Carl Cox’s island-defining Revolution parties whilst criss-crossing all over the globe, particularly impressing in South America. But for Yousef Liverpool is where his momentous Circus party continues to shine, and the party goes from strength to strength. Joining him will be Lewis Boardman, Circus’ other stalwart groove smith.

The Loft is on equally good form. Circus has a long history of getting exciting parties and labels into the building, but this one, in the obscenely intimate Loft no less, could just be the pinnacle. The label that has owned 2011 with their glorious take on electronica is coming to Circus to play; the seminal Visionquest.

Named after the initiation period Native Americans undergo to find their inner soul, Visionquest’s surge for glorious dance music is similarly metaphoric. The label is run by dance music’s enfant terrible Seth Troxler alongside Shaun Reeves, Ryan Crosson and Lee Curtiss, the imprint delivering huge monster smashes to the key dancefloors of 2011 from Maceo Plex, Laura Jones and Benoit & Sergio. Seth will be joined by Ryan and Lee for an all-night excursion at Circus, an event that has all the characteristics to join the other great moments in the annals of the club’s history.

Over in Ink the resident spirit runs deep with Alex Wolfenden and Scott Lewis manning the decks. 

Expect a flurry of tricks and treats, where ghouls combine with grooves, monsters with melodies and leftfield beats with costumes beyond the parameters of moral decency. 

The Circus Halloween Party is what dressing up is all about.
