Saturday june 11th we did our first event outside of Amsterdam: Delft, a town between Rotterdam and Den Haag. We collaborated with Babapower in this, helping us with local Deejays and decorators of organisations of that area. The party was a success, we really like the touring in the country, we consider doing this more […]
To celebrate the new Tram 26 , -which is using the track we have been using a couple of times for a party- we created a outdoor event in the middle of nature, not far from Blijburg. We started on friday 27th 23:00, with lots of light and even a smoke machine; the temperature was […]
this sunday we placed our brand new soundsystem outdoors to check its performances in an outdoor enviroment. Everything went okay, although polite people came by and wanted us to stop. Nevertheless we continued with much lower volume but that made them even more angry and one of us got detained for a while, ending up […]
Yes dear party people we did it again, we know now that we can still do it: creating those wicked nights . last weekend we were able to start up again, with the help of a legal venue, right in the city centre of Amsterdam. This place is one of the few legal locations with […]
An important aspect of our events is the location, the freedom and the happy atmosphere which comes out of that. Good (legal) locations which tolerate our party-habbits are hard to come by these days. We found a place where we can hold a small re-ramping event for our activities; perhaps not in the ZIRK-theme of […]
A very cool stitch program (found on http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html ) made out of a few rndomly made photos out of our nov04 HBR1 party this beautifull picture, which is a very vool wallpaper, maybe also for your computer? click on the More info link to display the picture.

We feel it is important for all of us together to take a realistic approach to issues that have come up in the face of this tragedy. It is critical that we acknowledge the lessons at hand. We wish to do this with you, our audience, so that you can consider our point of view. […]
Nothing they can do about it : it already happened when they rushed in our building on 4:30 AM. Even a 100 man of ME police have no control over our memories of what we withnessed in that night: a killer soundsystem of the best of 8lives and Zirk blew most of us out of […]
The offical line up and times are ready. Line up times are important, because we always want to have the different styles of music (example: full on , progressive and monring trance) on the right time and expected mood. LINE UP MAIN FLOOR: 23:00 – 01:00 Earl grey (hbr1.com) 01:00 – 02:30 Ions (goatrance.nl) 02:30 […]
Last weekend on October 16 we did it again: pulling a party in the centre of Amsterdam. this time on two cargo boats. We had over 400 ppl and although a lil’ taxing on our crew, you people behaved and follow directions very well and for that we thank you! The end result no one […]
Since this weekend, w have a nice on-demand host for some very cool video’s made on Zirkumstances by Roel, where you can actually hear 2/3 mixes in the Deejays sets. It also picture cool nad happy the vibe in our parties. 🙂 Video one (DJ Stellanutella) Video two (DJ Riches)
For the first time, some of us went to a real festival: the BOOM fectival in Portugal. Incredible nice, but with 16000 people a little too crowded for us.. We will keep doing our thing with events of less than 1200 people. We got some really cool inspirations and contacts from there for sure! We […]
We are working on a hbr1.com promo / benefit party. HBR1 /dreamfactory is a leading internet-radio station with 3 streams: GOA Trance, House and AmbientTrance. In fact, tt is the radio-station which is always on in the Zirk Head quarters. The idea behind the party is to promote their station to the dutch community and […]
Many people came to our party on the 14th of august, exact a year after our legendary ‘Beat Tricks’ party. This event was in a (specially for it ) squated building in Amsterdam West. The place had 2000 sq. meter of computer rooms, with a special heightened floor which we could modify a little: on […]
We are sick and tired of having so much garbage every time our event is finished. We thought maybe a little info of ‘how-to’ would help us all reduceing the pile of garbage to only 20% of what we are used to. Read this manual More info
We celebrated Blaze’s birthday in Sloterdijk, on a landstrip in front of the station. approx. 50 ppl came while the whole scene is at VooV festival and Ruigoord. Cosmic High. Jochem an Zentaur were spinning while we whitnessed the wonderfull clear nightskies and a blazing sunset, The Sloterdijk skyline was our decoration. More info
yesterday evening, the Y-tunnel was closed specially for us `(a group of volanteers for Legalize!) to clean: some grafitty and stickers had to be removed, after the Legalize! streetrave of June this year. We provided the van, support and good vibes.. More info
The last party ‘Zirque du Soleil’ was a blast ! To celebrate Dirk’s birthday we had a terrain available which was nicely hidden from the road. During building-up, we got a blazing thunderstorm which tared our white sail to pieces. Lucky as we were, friend Sid from jungle/drum ‘n base system ChronicSoundz helped us out […]

Not like in the dam huh? but they still try […]
We are currently evaluating some new kick-ass locations: one of them is the sloterdyk station. The architecture is overwhelming… screaming for something (in our eyes) The place is suitable for a gig because it is closed in the night. The risc for interferance by police is pretty big, so we need to have an alternative […]
Check out our forum! There is a part you can browse unregistered, and a part where you have to. Lots of interesting subjects we would like to discuss with you about our locations, new idea’s etcetera. More info
We received a demo-cd from BNE records (Israel) called “Concept of Love” from artist “Future Prophecy”. The album moves from downtempo atmospheric tunes onto touches of quality progressive trance. We like to hear them on a Zirk soundsystem.. Soon ! This text is from the BNE site: Future Prophecy has their credebility and recognition in […]

After a great street rave and tunnel and a short after at papaverweg, due to some fighting the police completely cleared the area. We decided to conitinue somewhere else: near sloten. That place rocked !!!! Together with sound system ‘Back-a-Wall’ we played here for almost four hours. We got kicked out again at 01:00, leaving […]

our last hemelvaart event was exciting: 8 hours, from 16:00 untill midnight we rocked the viaduct at the oudekerkerplas, under the A9 highway. This viaduct was far too wide: wind p[ayed with us all the time. Our huge sail kept the sound away from farms, and behind, it was cosy and warm. No locals complained, […]
A very nice discovery: Anders Nilsson (Chromosome) and Nick Kostoglou (Dj Arara) met in Holland in February 2002, and started to make a project together. The result is one of the most up to date progressive Trance Record the Scene has to offer! The full length album ‘Temptations’ is a warm and groovy journey and […]
When you go to a underground party, please call free taxidrivers who are not using any radio communication to a central dispatch station (TAXICENTRALE) . This communication can be monitored by the police. We encourage self-employed taxi cab drivers like Vincent (taxi anders) and his friends anyway. click on the line ‘ more info’ to […]

Arrived at the spot qwe found another techno party going on there… we decided to move to a nearby field, leaving the techno man, who said to expect 100 people […]
