Behrouz and Yousef: Renaissance Presents: Frontiers



Yousef & Behrouz - Renaissance Presents: Frontiers
Label: Renaissance Recordings | Release Date: Monday, August 22, 2005

Renaissance are delighted to announce a brand new album series ? 'Frontiers', a 2CD compilation that pits two DJs head to head with a unique, geographical twist with both heralding from different countries. The concept breathes a welcome air of originality into the compilation market, providing the perfect platform to showcase DJs, artists, countries and the ever-expanding global world of dance music, with the first volume in the series fronted by the UK's own Yousef and acclaimed US DJ Behrouz.

"We have worked with a number of established DJs over the years. 'Frontiers' will be our platform for artistes who, although a little too experienced to be classed as nu-skool, are still freash and exciting; driving their respective genre in their own domestic scene forward and knocking down the door of the A-list." - Geoff Oakes (Renaissance MD)

Behrouz by contrast, provides the perfect musical foil. A master of all things deep and hypnotic, his djing and production work is held in high regard amongst his US peers, most notably Danny Tenaglia and Deep Dish, the latter of which he has a deep affirmation with thanks to a string of high profile remixes for their Yoshitoshi imprint. In addition to this, he holds down residencies at Ruby Skye in San Francisco and the excellent Red Light club in Paris, and is well on his way to being the next major player on the international dance circuit, a journey that will only be aided by his stellar work here on 'Frontiers'.

Yousef of course has become somewhat of an ambassador since his breakthrough in the late nineties via the now defunct Muzik magazine. With a DJ style that draws in jacking influences with an element of funk that totally rocks the dancefloor, Yousef has found himself compared to the likes of Derrick Carter and Sneak, and as a producer has also proven his worth with tracks and remixes under such aliases as Drum Bums, Harry Munroe and 10,000 BC in addition to his own name. Currently working on an artist album which includes collaborations with such luminaries as Paul Woolford and Nic Fanciulli (featured on this album), and continuning to develop his successful club brand Circus, Yousef is a DJ right at the forefront of the scene, and this new mix looks set to take him to the next level.

'Frontiers' is another exciting new series to come from the long standing Renaissance brand. With 2005 having already seen projects from DJs as varied as Dave Seaman, James Zabiela, Hernan Cattaneo, and Anthony Pappa, it looks like the transatlantic dynamic and growth of the brand is at its healthiest ever, and one can only imagine what new 'Frontiers' lay ahead in the future

Re: New Renaissance album (Behrouz & Yousef)

I thought Behrouz did a pretty good job with his last album Yoshitoshi: Ibiza.

[frisky]

Re: New Renaissance album (Behrouz & Yousef)

^^^ Indeed. And Also the one before that - In House We Trust... A+!!!!

Im glad hes getting the recognition he deserves... I remember seeing him on his regular residencies in San Francisco way back in 1999 and thereabouts and we all knew that this guy would blow up big!!!

Re: New Renaissance album (Behrouz & Yousef)

As far as some good sets go, there are a couple.

On soul seek you can find:

"Live at Club Home Budapest-02-25-2005" (4 parts)
This is very fresh sounding. He was trying stuff out for the WMC. This is a good rep of what he sounds like at the moment.

and also

"[Borderlin3 Party]-- 2004.01.05 - DC10, Torino - cd1 ??Behrouz" (4 parts)

Behrouz is best in long sets. playing 6 or more hours is the best way to hear him.

Sure glad he has stayed away from playing just one style of music(electro) and plays everything during the course of the night.

if you couldn't tell, I am really looking forward to this release. It is not going to be your average Yoshitoshi comp with all yoshitoshi tracks. This is going to be something special.

Re: New Renaissance album (Behrouz & Yousef)

I saw him at CroBar the last time Saeed and Palaas played together. And he was damn good.
