Circoloco was founded in July 1999 by Antonio Carbonaro and Andrea Pelino and was first hosted at the DC10 nightclub in Ibiza, Spain. and Tokyo. In May 2021, Circoloco and American video game publisher
Rockstar Games announced CircoLoco Records, a joint venture between the companies. Over the years CircoLoco built its community, evolving from an underground music party on Mondays to a recognized global movement with a unique, almost tribal sense of belonging that is the common denominator for those who attend its parties. Circoloco has traveled worldwide outside of Ibiza throughout the past number of years, with shows in some of the main cities such as New York, Miami, London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Rio de Janeiro & Phuket to name but a few. Throughout the last two decades, Circoloco has been attended by a variety of well-known celebrities and influential individuals. Most recently, Leonardo DiCaprio attended their 2022 Halloween event in Brooklyn, New York. Known for tapping DJs at the early stages of their career and platforming female DJs — who are often underrepresented on nightclub rosters — CircoLoco has amassed an intercontinental cult following off of Carbonaro's fluid approach to curating and booking acts. The 24-date run in the summer of 2022, the longest party season in CircoLoco history, saw performances from Peggy Gou, Blond:ish, and other industry veterans.{{Cite web|date=11 November 2022|title=The Party Never Stops for CircoLoco In 2024, Circoloco celebrated 25 years of parties with 25 weeks of shows at Ibiza's DC-10 nightclub.
