DC10 is a nightclub located in Ibiza on the Carretera of Salinas. It was born during the 90s as a music bar and began with a license for just 80 people, opened by two Spanish brothers, Deogracias lara Moreno and Antonio Lara Moreno. In 1999, two Italian promoters; Antonio Carbonaro and Andrea Pelino, joined in force, becoming partner at DC10, and creating during the same year the Circoloco brand, which would soon become the iconic event of DC10 and would then begin its residency each Monday during each Ibiza season.^{[1][failed verification]}

Throughout the years, the four entrepreneurs have grown DC10 to such a level, that it has now become a reference point for the world of what the Ibiza music scene has to offer.^{[citation needed]}

With a series of investments throughout the years, they have changed the structure of the nightclub to make it a space that holds a capacity of 4000 people, which is broken down into three distinct rooms; La Terrace, The Main Room and The Open Air Garden, each of which has been divided by musical genre.^{[citation needed]}

The work of the group of entrepreneurs has also led to a substantial modification of the license which now goes from a music bar to an event hall.^{[citation needed]} 

History of DC-10[]

About Circoloco at DC-10[]

The beginnings of Circoloco at DC10 back in Ibiza in 1999 could hardly be more humble. At a virtually unknown location - DC10 - the iconic Monday morning session started a clubbing revolution that make an enduring impact on the shape of modern club culture. Circoloco initially began as a free after-party event on Monday mornings. Starting at 6 am until 6 pm. This was infamously known as ‘The Monday Morning Sessions’.^[2] Starting as a Monday session at DC10 (nightclub) only, Circoloco at DC10 was already the hype party by 2001 and the international press was soon declaring it the essential must-do of any Ibiza visit. This soon spread to become a dance brand in many countries.^[3]

Since then, the ubiquitous crazy clown face has travelled around the world as a beacon of the party ethos, becoming a symbol for the underground spirit of dance music culture. Circoloco was focusing on programming accurately each Monday session with unknown underground artists based in Ibiza and also coming from around the world: people were quite literally going crazy at the Circoloco events, sharing a deep love for the music.^[4]

In contrast to the rest of the island, Circoloco still does little or no publicity for its parties. Many of the artists discovered by Circoloco are today recognized among some of the most influential DJ's. Examples of these DJ's that play at Circoloco include Luciano, Loco Dice, Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones, Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, Tale Of Us, &ME, and Amelie Lens. "^[4]

Fast forward to modern day, Circoloco rips up the rulebook once again, to bring both sustainability and music to the forefront, invoking mindfulness for the environment and natural surroundings. Circoloco has remained true to its vision through the use of eco-friendly and biodegradable materials during its events: a ban of single-use plastic at their Ibiza events. Water bottles were also replaced with boxed water. "^[5]

Since 1999 Circoloco proposed every year to its crowd the slogan of their season, which is like the motto of the summer. Starting in 1999 with "Ibiza Monday Session" to "Sorry We Are Circoloco" was a succession of statements year after year. Its Monday sessions at DC10, despite well documented problems over the years, continue to go from strength to strength and is rightly regarded as a true mecca of clubbing in the world today.

Worldwide, from the origins at DC10, Circoloco has brought the brand throughout the globe, with events in cities such as: New York, Miami, London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Bogotà, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, Sydney, Melbourne to name but a few.^[6]

Today Circoloco is considered a visionary brand that influences the music world, which leads to the recent collaborations in the art and fashion worlds, ready for a cultural exchange with the most brilliant minds of these fields like the artist Maurizio Cattelan or the design studio Toilet Paper, but also fashion brands such as Off White.^[7]

Founded in 1999, the Circoloco parties (also written as Circo Loco) first took place at DC10 in Ibiza. Circoloco initially began as a free after-party event on Monday mornings. Starting at 6 am until 6 pm. This was infamously known as ‘The Monday Morning Sessions’.^[2] Starting as a Monday session at DC10 (nightclub) only, this soon spread to become a dance brand in many countries.^[3]

Barely spending any time under the radar, Circoloco at DC10 was already the hype party by 2001 and the international press was soon declaring it the essential must-do of any Ibiza visit. A no-nonsense, back to the old school vibe of how dance music should be, with Italian promoters Antonio Carbonaro and Andrea Pelino using word of mouth and solid principles of free or cheap entry alongside an unrivaled forward-thinking music policy, it changed the story of what clubbing could, and should, be all about. It was unprecedented in Ibiza or anywhere else since the days of the "Paradise Garage" or "The Summer Of Love" in the UK.^[8]

Worldwide, Circoloco has brought the brand throughout the globe, with events in cities such as: New York, Miami, London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Bogotà, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, Sydney, Melbourne to name but a few.^[6]

Since 1999, Circoloco proposed each year to its crowd the slogan of their season. This is like the Motto of the Summer. Beginning in 1999, with "Ibiza Monday Session" to "Sorry we are Circoloco", Circoloco consolidated its name and philosophy through the years.
