Our dearest friend, collaborator , electrician,sound and lighting engineer Bart (DB) has been found dead last sunday sept. 11th, after being missing for 5 days. Overwhelmed by feelings of deep sadness and loss but also gratefulness for having him so close to us for many years and what he gave us all… All our sympathy […]
Thank you for joining our Facebook-only promoted party. We decided this time to invite only over Facebook to have less people over in the building because the earlier times it was just too packed and (in our eyes) a little irresponsible and unsafe.. Zirk will hibernate for a while, waking up when the summer sun […]
We would like to thank you who came over and helped us to create together with us our fantastic house warming party last Saturday and Sunday at our building. Beautiful area, music, weather and people while playing outdoors just surrounded by industrial heritage of an old paint factory. We pulled the plug ourselves after going […]
This year on April 30th (Queens day) we were doing it again: having a party on THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPOT IN TOWN. The Prins Hendrikkade, right opposite of the Sea Palace and next the central station and Nemo museum (see picture) Starting with rain, the last half was sunny all the way to the end. […]
In a squatted Sauna, completely in the center of Amsterdam, around the corner of the Leidseplein, the people of Vaaghuijzen Squatted this sauna (three floors, over 700 sq. meters) and turned this into a beautiful place full of art expositions. This time they invited us to create a event with a little arty extra and […]

Thank you all for coming over and joining us during our sunny sunny super cosy gig in Amsterdam. We placed a webcam on the head of the golden statue which was overlooking the party from the roof of the house boat: 1 frame every 10 sec.. Too bad we forgot to switch off the hibernation […]
A Queens day location for a zirk party right in front of the central station on the Prins hendrik kade on a spot that we could only dream about.. So, April 30th we are there making a lot of noise, and you are invited!!! It’s so close (1km) to the usual place (droogbak party) that […]
Due to housing difficulties postponed till further notice… Zirk is really sorry but after many days of talking with venue owners, and having no other option than a small squatted place or a commercial venue, Thre is a great desire for a gig , but not bigger than our feeling of responsibility of safety and […]
Awesome cool that so many challenged the (chance for) rain to come down at the party… We had the polite people over at 3 AM, wanting us to show them the party, calling their superiors and wanting us to STOP at 4:00 AM. We did not intended to send you people home, but worked out […]
We found a beautiful spot just outside the city., plus a location-B (in case we get disturbed on the first) We will place three large tents together so you would be dry in case of.. targetsound will supply and operate sound and light, we have almost the whole old crew together again, promises an original […]
Years later, suddenly some one uploaded this funny clip of Zirque du Soleil , apperantly in the early cold morning… Thank you for Kipper Anderson (the maker) We also uploaded a couple on Google video
Last weekend the HBR1- radio station and the Zirk-crew combined their forces to present most of the djees and artists/producers to the Amsterdam scene, just like two years ago. To ensure the best quality possible at the event the waakzaamheid venue was choosen: (not only very good sound , but also more realistic closing times […]
Almost 2 years ago, hbr1.com & Zirk threw a party at a Squad at the Danziger Bocht in Amsterdam. It started out to be a night to remember. 1500 partypeople there were dancing, but it all was over and stopped by “the men in black”… At 4 in the morning the polite people came (100 […]
Currently we had to move all our stuff (deco, equipment, tools) in a sea container. This will cost us a 75 euro per month, not that much but also not that good for our activities: we have no power and limited access. We are constanly working , repairing and developing stuff so we are in […]
This year it happened again -dispite all the events we witnessed just in the afternoon like heavy showers, a thunderstorm, car crash , etc.-: We squated the same area as 2004 and 2005, setup our ‘anti- detection precousions’ (covering the fence) , and blowed you all sky high for the greatest part of the night. […]

Last saturday (may 6th) we had the most wonderfull outdoor activity we can imagine: On a remote spot just outside the city boundaries we landed on a levy in the middle of nature and setup our DJ booth, a few hundred meters further than our old LINE26 location since there was a film-crew shooting a […]
Friday may 5th was a little different for Zirk; the evening before our LINE 26 and a half party some Zirkers made a party in a club (Akhnaton) but in a quite unusual way: They used the backdoor entrance of the venue for a change, letting people believe that it was a new, secret location. […]
Two of our very appriciated crew members were on the 2006 queensday active in their own party: Edo (ecolaas) with his Techno organisation TECH FEVER had a legal spot on the Vijzelstraat, where they had a crazy 10KW soundsystem (Techno music). Part of the decoration was done by our very own Zem114 (click on the […]
last saturday night we did it again: filling up a garage with crazy dancing people. Up to a 1000 visitors we had over in this unbelievable location, most of us used to walk over it’s roof without knowing it was that big down there. We can assume we gave the local political party Amsterdam Anders/De […]
The local political-party Amsterdam Anders/De Groenen asked us to help them realize a newyears-reception/election kick off for januari 14th. The asked us if we knew a cool place, with some underground looks… we choose one of the coolest places (in our eyes) we can think of, the tourist-bus parking garage under the Museumplein, right behind […]
Acompany who has an empty building asked us to create an art gallery in it; this Thurday (dec 22nd) we will open it with a small opening party (no dance music, sorry!) but more for corporate kind of people: we aim this time to sell art – made by talented people we know- to companies. […]
We are VERY sorry to announce that our coming party is canceled for various reasons. Our original location (Turbineweg) was offered (by the owner) to us to make a party and we decided to create it together with an art gallery. Unfortunately , other subleasing businesses were afraid for the unknown (think about fire, etc) […]

Wow, an eXtreme birthday was this Zirque du Soleil event , we the squated the same place as last year for this , and it worked! A little more in the back, fences covered with black sheets, not revealing the two dancefloors, 200-300 ppl and over 60 parked cars (!) in the front… At the […]
