If the walls of DC-10 could talk, they’d tell tales more salacious than the wildest club night stories. Hushed whispers of fashionistas and rock stars losing themselves on the dance floor. Secret after-party lore spreading like wildfire through the White Isle’s clubs. Chance encounters sparking iconic brand partnerships and album collaborations.
For 25 years, the CircoLoco party has been the beating heart of Ibiza’s underground scene and a bastion for the most influential figures in dance music culture. What started as a free, morning after-hours event at the infamously grotty DC-10 has exploded into a globally renowned institution. Its famous Mondays have become a rite of passage and safe space for generations of ravers and artists to let loose without inhibition.
The 25th-anniversary lineup in Ibiza
On April 29th, CircoLoco will kick off its landmark 25th anniversary season on the island, celebrating its unique power to unite scenes and minds from every corner of the world. The lineup reflects the party’s transcendent spirit, a multi-generational mix of dance music’s most vital voices and forward-thinkers.
Of course, you’ll find all the CircoLoco heroes returning to their spiritual home. Legends like Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, Tale of Us, and Luciano have become inextricably linked to the party’s legacy over the decades. But the program takes thrilling turns into uncharted territory as well. Rising stars like Bambounou, Aurora Halal, and VTSS will bring experimental electronics into the sweat-drenched DC-10 atmosphere. Even pop renegades Grimes and Romy from The xx will make rare Ibiza appearances.
CircoLoco has never just been about headliners though. It’s a tight-knit community, a chosen family of like-minded artists and diehard revelers. As such, the resident DJs who have grown up within those hallowed stone walls are just as vital to the experience. Chloe Caillet, Rampa, and Mochakk – they’ve transformed from fresh-faced ravers into icons before our eyes. Theirs are the hands that keep those infamous parties going until dawn … and well beyond.
CircoLoco Soul is not just a party, is a whole lifestyle
Even from its earliest days, CircoLoco has held an undeniable allure beyond just the music realm. It’s a place where the worlds of fashion, celebrity, art, and entertainment ecstatically collide with dance culture. Ricardo Tisci heard the Martinez Brothers at DC-10 before making them the soundtrack of Givenchy’s shows for years. Virgil Abloh was inspired to design an Off-White capsule with the party’s avant-garde spirit. It’s the kind of interdisciplinary cultural exchange that can only happen in a space as mythical and forward-thinking as CircoLoco.
From founder Antonio Carbonaro’s free morning party roots to international tours, brand partnerships, and even its own record label, CircoLoco has become a verifiable lifestyle. Yet at its core, the party remains a gritty, no-frills celebration of the underground’s most brilliant minds and the pursuit of transcendent dance floor experiences.
So while the two-and-a-half decade milestone inevitably sparks nostalgia, CircoLoco’s 25th season proves its countercultural spirit remains as vital as ever. When those DC-10 doors open again on April 29th, the island’s biggest annual family reunion begins anew. And you’d better be there.
