This is How New York City Does Circoloco The tale of a two days celebration in the heart of Brooklyn
As nss magazine’s Los Angeles correspondent, I must say simply, the New York warehouse/club scene goes much harder. Sure, the LA house parties are fun (and what happens in Calabasas stays in Calabasas, or whatever that quote is), but people in LA are too aware of themselves, causing parties to often fall short of that dance element of, let’s say, Ibiza’s villa parties. But not New York, the people here always want to dance, and that’s exactly who Circoloco’s line-up catered to, the dancers. Teksupport, the US producers and partners of Circoloco’s overseas tour (tickets are still available for Miami and LA), is providing the ultimate House and Techno experience of 2021. There was absolutely no opportunity to be a wall-flower this weekend. Held in Brooklyn’s Navy Warehouse from 10pm to 6am Chloé Caillet set a brilliant tone for the costume garbed attendees arriving at Circoloco on this spooky Friday night. Those arriving were immediately taken over by her international sound, as she charged up the night with a uniquely transcontinental musical blend. Bartenders were conveniently organized along the entire perimeter of the massive space and danced it out with the rest of us for a wild night of the most highly curated tunes one can dance to in a night.
Circoloco NYC, in its 6th year, was truly one for the books. In an exciting move this year, Circoloco announced the launch of their record label, CircoLoco Records, which was also followed up by a major partnership with video game creator Rockstar Games. The first release, Monday Dreamin’, is a compilation of iconic contributions from the likes of Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Kerri Chandler, and more! The goal of this merger aims to fuse “the physical and digital worlds of entertainment to support and elevate dance music culture worldwide.” Having represented the House and Techno genres for over 20 as an intersection of music, fashion, and culture, Circoloco is furthering their legacy by having a direct hand in the representation of House and Techno talent. House music, though only comprehensively understood by few, is thoroughly enjoyed by millions. It transcends any particular “type of person” or culture, and aids as a catalyst for uniting rather than separating. Social status, economic status, and all the “differences” modern society is built upon doesn’t really matter here, (unless you’re buying a table of course), and the unifying power of House continues to positively augment one’s relationship to music, and life.
