27 years later, Circoloco at DC-10 remains an Ibiza legend

Published on August 29, 2026 at 02:01 AM

Some Ibiza parties come and go with the seasons. Others become part of the island's identity.

Circoloco belongs firmly in the second category.

Twenty-seven years after the legendary party first began at DC-10 Ibiza in 1999, Circoloco remains one of the most recognisable names in the island's underground nightlife scene. Its Monday sessions at DC-10 have become an essential part of Ibiza's clubbing calendar, attracting generations of electronic music fans and some of the biggest names in underground dance music.

And now, fans have another chance to experience a piece of that history.

Ricardo Villalobos' Circoloco set lands on YouTube

Circoloco has released Ricardo Villalobos' full performance from DC-10 on YouTube, giving fans the opportunity to revisit his appearance from this summer.

The set was recorded in the Garden at DC-10 on July 20, 2026, during Circoloco's 27th-anniversary celebrations.

Villalobos played for an hour, from 10 PM until 11 PM, delivering the kind of deep, minimal and hypnotic sound that has made him one of the most influential figures in underground electronic music.

The newly released footage was filmed and directed by Timo Noordhoek, preserving the performance for fans who were either inside DC-10 that night or watching from elsewhere in the world.

27 years of Circoloco

Circoloco's story began at DC-10 in 1999.

What started as a Monday party gradually developed into one of Ibiza's most influential underground institutions, with its distinctive combination of house, techno and minimal sounds becoming closely associated with the DC-10 experience.

The party has also helped establish DC-10 as one of the world's most important destinations for underground electronic music.

Its influence has extended far beyond Ibiza, with Circoloco now hosting events around the world while maintaining DC-10 as its home. The official Circoloco programme continues to list its Ibiza residency at DC-10, with the 2026 season running every Monday from April 27 through October 12.

That longevity is particularly remarkable in an industry where clubs, parties and musical trends can change dramatically within just a few seasons.

Circoloco has managed to evolve without losing the underground identity that made it special in the first place.

A new generation, same DC-10 spirit

Part of Circoloco's staying power comes from its ability to bring established electronic music figures together with younger artists and emerging talent.

The 2026 programme has featured names including Seth Troxler, Luciano, Honey Dijon, Apollonia, Chris Stussy, Peggy Gou, Mochakk, Black Coffee, Adam Port and many more, alongside artists from the next generation of underground dance music.

The result is a party that can feel different from one Monday to the next while retaining the unmistakable atmosphere associated with Circoloco.

And Villalobos' appearance is particularly fitting.

The Chilean-born DJ and producer has been a major figure in the minimal and experimental side of electronic music for decades, making his return to the Circoloco Garden a natural match for the party's underground reputation.

From one Ibiza generation to the next

For visitors who discovered Ibiza in the 1990s and early 2000s, Circoloco represents an important part of the island's clubbing history.

For younger generations, it remains a place where they can experience many of the artists shaping electronic music today.

That ability to bridge generations may be one of the biggest reasons Circoloco is still relevant 27 years after its beginnings.

The music has evolved. The artists have changed. Ibiza itself has changed.

But Monday nights at DC-10 still carry the Circoloco name.

And with Ricardo Villalobos' latest performance now available to watch online, another chapter of the party's long Ibiza story can be experienced far beyond the walls of DC-10.

Watch: Ricardo Villalobos' full Circoloco DC-10 Ibiza set is now available on YouTube.
