Iceland’s Secret Solstice 2017 has revealed its initial line-up, which includes The Prodigy, Kerri Chandler, Dubfire, Dusky and other electronic artists amid an eclectic multi-genre roster. The festival will take place during summer solstice in the capital city of Reykjavik from Thursday 16th to Sunday 18th June 2017.

Ibiza had another huge summer in 2016, which delivered its biggest ever year for tourism, as well as bid farewell to White Isle institution Space Ibiza.

South African photographer Julius Jooste finished his fourth season on the island this year photographing parties including Cocoon, Elrow, Circoloco and many more on the island.

Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) took over the Dutch capital for five days between Wednesday 19th and Sunday 23rd October, for one of the biggest weekends of electronic music on the annual calendar.

Over 2,200 artists played more than 450 events across 120 of the best clubs, bars and venues in the city, as a relentless barrage of the world’s best parties all took place en masse.

One thing that came clear through the five days of raves is that, in terms of a quality to volume ratio, nobody does nightclubs quite like Amsterdam.

Circoloco have announced the full line-up for its closing party at DC-10, which is due to take place on Monday 10th October.

The pair play the party for the first time since 2008 and 2006 respectively.

Circoloco has announced that it will head Stateside for two nights next month, which will take place in Los Angeles on Friday 28th October and Brooklyn on Saturday 29th October.

After another huge summer residency at Ibiza’s DC-10, Circoloco will be bringing The Martinez Brothers, Black Coffee, Damian Lazarus, Davide Squillace, Tania Vulcano, Cassy, Jennifer Cardini, Konstatin, Eagles & Butterflies and many more to spin across the two nights.
