Yousef's Big Weekend

Yousef When it comes to Big Weekends, Radio 1's Yousef has had more than One in his time. Scouse legend and clown around town, Yousef gave us a run down of a typical Big Weekend for him...

Friday 22nd Aug 03
Get up early, as always! Go into the city to work on the club. Circus 1st birthday is coming up and we need to make sure it's All in control. We have Derrick Carter, Lottie, Jon Carter, The Cuban Brothers and myself playing.

I get home, sort through my records and allocate tickets for tomorrow's Creamfields to my mates. I then fly off to Belfast as I'm playing at "Party On the Pier" with Sneak and Alan Sims. We get there just in the nick of Time! It's an outdoor setting and it's not looking good. Predictably It's one of the better gigs I've done in ages! Sneak rocks it too!

Creamfields Get up early, again! I'm in the airport with a friend from Belfast called Dave, I hijacked him form the party the night before and have dragged him over to Creamfields (not exactly kicking and screaming). We Arrive back in my house about 11am. I sort my records and CD's out and wait for the rabble (my friends) to arrive. About 8 of us arrive at the site before it opens.

I check out the site then get stuck into 3 hours of interviews, fun but tough. One of them is with my mates The Cuban Brothers, they are ridiculous and very talented! I then head over to the Subliminal tent where I'm playing 6.30-8.30. I end up playing 6pm till 9.15pm, it suits me! I have a really good time DJing...then the fun begins with the crew I'm with, my mates, my brother, Tim Deluxe, and MYNC project.

we all have some fun back stage. I can't tell you what we did but trust me it was not on! We stay at Creamfields until around 5am then head back to mine where I pass out on my bed. It was a long day.

Sun 24th Aug 03
Get up around 3pm! Come downstairs to find the place empty of people but remaining maker stains and empty bottles all over the place. Its a long story...
