Since its foundation in 1999, Circoloco has grown to become one of the most influential names in the world of electronic music. The concept now tours major cities such as New York, London, Paris, Miami and Amsterdam, whilst remaining true to its underground roots. When the event comes to the NDSM-Werf, it brings with it the very same ingredients that have made Circoloco famous worldwide: long DJ sets, cutting-edge house and techno, an international audience and a strong focus on musical quality.
There are few places in the Netherlands that capture the spirit of Circoloco quite like the NDSM-Werf. The former shipyard combines industrial architecture, historic warehouses and an alternative creative culture that has been attracting artists, musicians and festival organisers for years. The large open spaces and impressive warehouses create a setting that feels both raw and monumental. Whereas in Ibiza aeroplanes fly overhead above the DC10, in Amsterdam the harbour cranes, ship sheds and the River IJ form the backdrop to the music. This gives Circoloco at the NDSM-Werf a unique Dutch character, without losing its international appeal.
What makes Circoloco special is the community it attracts. The dance floor is filled with people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds, united by a shared love of electronic music. During an event at the NDSM-Werf, this international atmosphere blends with the creative character of Amsterdam-Noord. As a result, the event feels both global and local. The energy of Ibiza meets the openness of Amsterdam.
Perhaps the sunset over the IJ is the most beautiful moment of any Circoloco event in Amsterdam. As evening falls and the city lights begin to twinkle across the water, the NDSM shipyard is transformed into a gigantic open-air club. The industrial setting takes on a magical quality, whilst the music continues to build the energy of the night. It is at moments like these that it becomes clear why Circoloco has built such a strong reputation worldwide.
