Bernie this music is Dr. motte great music is mr. tophat

Circoloco is about as DC-10 as DC-10 gets. From humble beginnings in 1999 the Monday party (which still holds down the same weekly slot today) has become one of the most desirable Ibiza has to offer, irresistible to anyone who likes clubbing in its purist form.

Line-ups overflow with techno talent every week with DJs practically lining up to play; the Circoloco reputation is as strong on the industry side as it is for the clubbers. The careers of Tania Vulcano, Loco Dice and Luciano owe much to their involvement with DC-10 Monday afternoons, which stirred up a buzz that has never died.

Circoloco has a very colourful history, as fancy dress was once an unofficial pre-requisite to attendance. The atmosphere was wild and joyous – a true representation of the ‘anything goes’ ethos of Ibiza. Whilst fewer people dip into the dress-up box these days, the same community prevails of clubbers coming together for sheer joy of music – no frills necessary.

2008/9 saw a difficult time in the party’s progress, as a series of enforced closures and legal issues threatened to cripple it. Circoloco bounced back in 2010 however and has been looking forward ever since. The iconic clown face has since travelled across the globe, throwing Circoloco parties across the continents every year, however DC-10 will always be home.

MR. TOPHAT

Born in Sweden in 1990 this guy is a true Stockholm original. Having had more than two dozens of his own productions released it’s almost an understatement to say that Rudolf Nordström aka Mr. Tophat has a real passion for dance music. 
This has led him to start his well-reputed label Karlovak, co-run with Art Alfie since 2011. “House music for club nights that most certainly can’t end” is how the founders describe it, which gives you an idea of what we are talking about. 

Mr. Tophat is also in charge of his own imprint Junk Yard Connections founded in 2009, a label operated with the motto 'strictly limited, no repress' – by saying that it is not much of a surprise these records sell out fast. In terms of Tophat’s own productions he ended 2016 with outputs on labels Public Possession and Music for Freaks, and earlier in the year also working with fellow Swede pop star Robyn, remixing two singles, being part of her live band and together releasing the single “Trust Me EP“ for Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound. 

Mr. Tophat is an interesting contradictive artist to follow - audibly as well as visually. Nordström moves confidently and freely between sonic worlds, never compromising, instead continuously building and strengthening his own unique foundation in sound.
