CircoLoco Launches Record Label with Rockstar Games, CircoLoco Records

Since first mak­ing its debut in 1999 at DC10 night­club in Ibiza, the world-renowned par­ty Cir­coLo­co has grown to become one of dance music’s most vision­ary brands. Over the past 20 years, Cir­coLo­co has spread its influ­ence all over the globe, throw­ing unfor­get­table events in major cities across mul­ti­ple con­ti­nents with a reg­u­lar ros­ter con­sist­ing of house and techno’s most influ­en­tial acts.

For the first time, Cir­colo­co — in col­lab­o­ra­tion with video game titan Rock­star Games — is mak­ing new head­way into the world of dance music with a brand-new record label, Cir­coLo­co Records.

Tak­ing pride in the fact that their par­ties have helped jump­start the careers of huge­ly suc­cess­ful artists such as Ricar­do Vil­lalo­bos, Jamie Jones, Guy Ger­ber, and many more, Cir­coLo­co Founder Anto­nio Car­bonaro sees Cir­coLo­co Records as ​“a nat­ur­al next step” for the brand. ​“Cir­coLo­co has always been about the pas­sion for find­ing the best music, sup­port­ing artists, and bring­ing them to the peo­ple in the purest way possible.”

Cir­coLo­co Records’ debut release will be in the form of a com­pi­la­tion EP titled Mon­day Dreamin’ Blue that fea­tures Seth Trox­ler, Ker­ri Chan­dler, Dixon, Ram­pa, and Sama’ Abdul­ha­di — out on June 4^th. The five-track EP is the first in a series in the lead up to the full Mon­day Dreamin’ com­pi­la­tion album that drops on July 9^th, fea­tur­ing addi­tion­al tracks from more Cir­coLo­co icons, such as Carl Craig, TiNI, Luciano, Red Axes, Lost Souls of Sat­urn & TOKi­MON­S­TA, and more.

The first track from Cir­coLo­co Records’ forth­com­ing release, Seth Troxler’s ​“Lumartes,” is out now. Lis­ten to the track below and pur­chase it on Beat­port here.

As one of the world’s most promi­nent and influ­en­tial video game cre­ators, Rock­star Games’ rep­u­ta­tion for sup­port­ing music and club cul­ture is unpar­al­leled. Grand Theft Auto’s curat­ed radio sta­tions host leg­endary selec­tors such as Giles Peter­son and dig­i­tal night­clubs updates that fea­ture res­i­dents like Palms Trax, Keine­musik, and Moody­mann, bring­ing the sounds of club­land and the under­ground into the homes of mil­lions of play­ers around the world.

“Music is fun­da­men­tal to Rock­star Games – it’s part of every­thing we do,” says Rock­star Games Founder, Sam Houser. ​“Part­ner­ing with our friends at Cir­coLo­co is part of our ongo­ing efforts to find new ways to bring the very best under­ground music to the widest audi­ence possible.”
