Yousef chats to ilikemusic.com
ilm: Yeah right, I mean that almost covers my next question. What's your current favourite tune to play live?
Yousef: ahh, its probably my remix of the new Jamiroquai track 'Electric Mistress'. I've done two mixes; one is pretty much like the original, a disco work out, its relentless. It's not really a poppy arrangement at all. Ive also done this really warped mix which has also got the vocal in it, but sounds odd and quite nasty which is cool man. Jay Kay's voice is so soothing and to have a quite nasty underlying tone makes a nice balance.
ilm: What piece of studio or live equipment could you not live without?
Yousef: Obviously the computer, you can't live without that. And for the DJ'ing, these days the CDJ, you can't do without that. But a piece of kit for producing, that I don't actually use anymore is a nice outboard fat compressor and I'd say spend some money on that, Avalon or Focus. For example, you listen to Da Number 8, that was all done on an Avalon compressor and it sounds so rich just because you spend time on it to record a sound in a group and yeh, its easy to make tracks on a simple laptop, but, as long as you've got something to richen it up, so yeh Id say that.
