History

Circoloco was founded in July 1999 by Antonio Carbonaro and Andrea Pelino and was first hosted at the DC10 nightclub in Ibiza, Spain. [2] Circoloco was first intended as an after-party hosted on Mondays after other events, such as the 24-hour event Space. [2] Circoloco has hosted events in other locations, such as Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, [3] and Tokyo. [2] In 2018, a collaboration with the Italian clothing brand Off-White was released. [2] Several CircoLoco events were canceled in 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [4] In May 2021, Circoloco and American video game publisher Rockstar Games announced CircoLoco Records, a joint venture between the companies. [5]

Over the years CircoLoco built its community, evolving from an underground music party on Mondays to a recognized global movement with a unique, almost tribal sense of belonging that is the common denominator for those who attend its parties. [6]

Circoloco has traveled worldwide outside of Ibiza throughout the past number of years, with shows in some of the main cities such as New York, Miami, London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Rio de Janeiro & Phuket to name but a few. Throughout the last two decades, Circoloco has been attended by a variety of well-known celebrities and influential individuals. Most recently, Leonardo DiCaprio attended their 2022 Halloween event in Brooklyn, New York. [7]

Known for tapping DJs at the early stages of their career and platforming female DJs — who are often underrepresented on nightclub rosters — CircoLoco has amassed an intercontinental cult following off of Carbonaro's fluid approach to curating and booking acts. The 24-date run in the summer of 2022, the longest party season in CircoLoco history, saw performances from Peggy Gou, Blond:ish, and other industry veterans. [8]

CircoLoco has always been an inclusive, multicultural, transversal movement that attracts eager partygoers of all age groups, nationalities, classes, and backgrounds. Under its logos and distinctive red lighting, it unites very different people in large-scale events that are celebrated around the world as state-of-the-art in terms of electronic music quality. [6] In 2024, Circoloco celebrates 25 years of parties with 25 weeks of shows at Ibiza's DC-10 nightclub. The opening night was covered by Dazed magazine and featured artists like Mochakk, Seth Troxler, Chloé Caillet, and Rampa. [9]

CircoLoco Records is a record label founded as a joint venture between Circoloco and Rockstar Games and was announced on May 24, 2021.

Songs from the Monday Dreamin' EPs can be listened to at fictional nightclubs and radio stations within the game, and some songs received remixes from Seth Troxler exclusive to the game's Los Santos Tuners update.

In July 2021 was the release of Skream's 'The Attention Deficit EP' — in collaboration with Jackmaster. The full EP was released on CircoLoco Records, on July 15. Both the lead tune and extended 'Terrace Mix' combines Italian vocal fragments with punchy drums to create an upbeat, infectious record. [10]

On July 25, 2022, a love story between footwear and the dance floor began, as the brand with the Three Stripes met Ibiza's OG shape-cutters, to create the adidas x Circoloco Forum Lo sneaker and adidas x Circoloco adilette slide. [14] [15]

The two-shoe drop presents CircoLoco's take on adidas' Forum Lo sneaker and adilette slides. Both of the designs take inspiration from the Ibiza nightclub and are adorned in CircoLoco's distinctive red and black coloring. [16]

The footwear collaboration was revealed Monday July 25, as CircoLoco celebrates the 23rd birthday of its weekly residency at Ibiza's DC10. Every Monday in the summer of 2022, and for 22 years prior, CircoLoco celebrated the no-nonsense and, nostalgic sense of what dance music should be. From its namesake party in Ibiza, CircoLoco has grown into a global music brand and veritable lifestyle, catalyzing cultural exchange with the most brilliant minds in the art, fashion and entertainment worlds. [14]

To further celebrate this singular collaboration, CircoLoco invited adidas Originals to design their iconic clown logo for their anniversary party, which stars the likes of Keinemusik's &Me and Rampa, Black Coffee, Peggy Gou, Seth Troxler, Gerd Janson, TSHA, Luciano and more. [14]
