Ministry of Sound (Anthology): New Book Chronicles the Club’s Untold History

by

The story of the London nightclub Ministry of Sound will be told for the first time in a new 416-page hardcover book titled Ministry of Sound: Anthology. It documents the club’s formative years and explosive growth through rare archival material, unseen memorabilia and is delivered via a collection of first-hand accounts from key figures in dance music culture.

Written and designed by Grammy-nominated creative director Simon Moore and published by renowned publisher Rizzoli New York, the book traces Ministry of Sound’s evolution from its origins in the early 1990s, inspired by a combination of New York clubs, including Paradise Garage and the UK rave scene, through to its emergence as one of the most influential institutions in global dance music culture.

“Before starting this book, I believed the story of Ministry of Sound was one of the most remarkable in British music culture and deserved to be told in full for the first time. The reality proved even more extraordinary. Through hundreds of hours of interviews, I heard first-hand accounts of passion, ambition, chaos, money, drugs, gangs and, above all, a deep love of music. Together they reveal how a club built inside a derelict warehouse in a forgotten corner of South London went on to transform countless lives and leave a permanent mark on British dance music culture.” – Simon Moore, author of Ministry of Sound: Anthology

Drawing from more than two years of research, the book compiles material sourced from private collections, photographers’ archives, second-hand shops and online stores, much of which has never been published before.

The book features recollections from figures closely tied to the club’s history, many speaking for the first time, including the founders, staff members, clubbers and DJs Paul Oakenfold, David Morales, Carl Craig, Moby, Princess Julia, Pete Tong, Steve Angello and Honey Dijon, among many others.

“I’m delighted with the book. Simon has done an excellent job of capturing not just the history of Ministry of Sound, but the emotional connection so many people have with the club and the brand. Everyone has a Ministry story, so to see the very best of them brought together in one place is pretty special.” – Caitlin McAllister, Managing Director, Ministry of Sound. image.jpeg

It also revisits pivotal moments in the club’s history, from its early days operating without an alcohol licence as what founder Justin Berkmann described as an “underground juice bar,” through to performances from artists including Frankie Knuckles, DJ Harvey and Underworld.

Spanning more than three decades of club culture, the book brings together photography, flyers, posters, record sleeves and oral histories to document Ministry of Sound’s role in shaping house music culture in London and beyond, while preserving the story of a pre-digital era that helped define modern nightlife.

Ministry of Sound: Anthology will be published on 20 October 2026 in hardcover format.

BSH Announces Carl Cox at Croatia’s 2,000-Year-Old Cave Romane

by

Following the epic Gates of Agartha collaboration in early June and parties with Amelie Lens and Black Coffee in July, BSH Events will round out a superb season on 7th August when the legendary Carl Cox headlines a special open-air performance at Croatia’s ancient quarry venue, Cave Romane.

Carved into the Istrian landscape near Vinkuran, Cave Romane is far removed from the traditional architecture of clubs and festival grounds. Formed through centuries of excavation, the former Roman quarry is surrounded by vast limestone walls that rise dramatically around the dancefloor, creating a stark, almost cinematic setting defined by echo, scale and exposed natural texture.

Carl Cox arrives at the venue as one of dance music’s most established and influential figures. Renowned for his infectious energy behind the decks as well as technical precision on them, he moves with authority between house, techno and acid-rooted sounds, which is why he has remained a defining presence in global club culture for decades. From his roots in the UK rave movement through to headline appearances at festivals and clubs worldwide, his performances continue to bridge classic selections with new school sounds. 

Rather than imposing a conventional festival production onto the site, BSH Events’ visual concept is designed in collaboration with Highscream, a creative production company renowned for high-energy live shows and immersive entertainment spaces. They will work in direct dialogue with the quarry’s physical environment and transform it with laser mapping, immersive lighting and large-scale visual installations which will bring the rock surfaces and open vertical spaces of Cave Romane to life while retaining the raw identity of the quarry itself.

The event forms part of BSH Events’ wider programme of destination electronic music experiences across Croatia, following recent large-scale shows at Cave Romane including  Black Coffee’s performance at Pula Arena. Through its use of historic and culturally significant locations, the promoter continues to develop a distinct identity within the European electronic music landscape.

Tickets are available via entrio.hr, starting from 49.00 EUR

EXIT and P+US to debut Starlight Festival at the Pyramids of Giza this October 

by


Three-time European Best Major Festival winner EXIT is bringing its globally recognised festival experience to Egypt this October with the launch of Starlight Festival, a brand-new multi-day concept taking place from October 8th-11th near the Great Pyramids of Giza in partnership with Venture Lifestyle and its electronic music platform P+US.

Leading the lineup are Charlotte de Witte with an exclusive first-ever performance in Egypt, Michael Bibi bringing his sound to the pyramids for the very first time, and global melodic techno phenomenon Adriatique, returning to the iconic location after previously delivering a monumental show attended by nearly 10,000 people. The programme further brings together Vintage Culture, Pete Tong, WhoMadeWho and Enrico Sangiuliano, alongside dozens of regional and international artists. 

Set against the desert sands beside one of the world’s most significant symbols of ancient civilisation, Starlight will unite the global electronic music community within a setting shaped by thousands of years of history, while bringing together one of the strongest electronic lineups the region has seen to date.

As one of the key stops of EXIT’s expanding global tour, the festival’s main nights will take place on October 9 and 10 near the pyramids, while opening and closing events will unfold across selected locations throughout Cairo. Across more than five festival stages and zones, Starlight will also feature one of the world’s most advanced VR experiences, originally unveiled at Expo Dubai.

Starlight’s two main festival nights will be held on October 9 and 10 against the Great Pyramids of Giza, while the opening and closing events will unfold across selected locations throughout Cairo. Across more than five festival stages and zones, Starlight will also feature one of the world’s most advanced VR experiences, originally unveiled at Expo Dubai. As with other events held in the area, Starlight will not be staged directly at the pyramids, which will serve as a monumental backdrop from a specially designated location developed in accordance with the site’s historical importance and protected status. 

Dušan Kovačević, founder and CEO of EXIT Festival, said: “It is a great honour to be invited to bring the premium festival concept near one of the grandest monuments in human history. EXIT has always been known for combining world-class entertainment with a strong social mission, which in this case will be dedicated to celebrating Egypt’s extraordinary cultural heritage to a global audience. We are especially pleased to have Venture Lifestyle as our partner on this project, given their reputation for delivering exceptional events in the region.”

Highlighting the growing importance of music tourism whose total value is over $100 billion globally, Rabih Mokbel, founder and CEO of Venture Lifestyle and its platform P+US, added: “It’s an honour for us at Venture Lifestyle to co-create Starlight alongside EXIT, a festival that has shaped the European scene for more than two decades. Bringing this legacy together in Egypt represents a major milestone for the region. We believe our collaboration will introduce a new generation of festival experiences and set a new benchmark for entertainment across MENA. Working hand-in-hand with EXIT’s team, we expect Starlight to attract a significant number of international visitors and contribute tens of millions of dollars to Egypt’s tourism economy, while establishing a long-term platform for cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East.”

Venture Lifestyle (VLS) is an Emirati-Lebanese entertainment and hospitality company based in Egypt, recognised for producing large-scale cultural, nightlife and live entertainment experiences across the Middle East and beyond. Through its electronic music platform P+US, the company has delivered globally recognised projects, including Anyma’s Quantum Genesys at the Great Pyramids of Giza, positioning itself among the region’s leading innovators in experiential entertainment. Tickets are available through the official Starlight Festival website.

by

Ministry of Sound continues its 35th Anniversary World Tour this June with two Thailand shows featuring Darius Syrossian, Riva Starr and Jesse P. The tour arrives at Illuzion Phuket on June 26th before heading to SEEN Beach Club Koh Samui on June 27th for a second event in an open-air beachfront setting.

Headlining is Moxy Muzik founder Darius Syrossian, known for his groove-led approach to house and techno, alongside Italian house mainstay and Snatch! Records boss Riva Starr. Jesse P completes the lineup.

Ranked No. 9 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs poll, Illuzion Phuket has become one of Asia’s most prominent large-scale nightlife destinations. The 5,000-capacity venue sits at the centre of Patong’s Bangla Road nightlife district and is known for its multi-room layout, high-spec Funktion-One and L-Acoustics sound systems, and international programming featuring some of electronic music’s biggest names.

The second show takes place at CLUB SEEN Koh Samui, a retro-inspired beachfront venue on Chaweng Beach that has built a reputation for its day-to-night format, combining poolside sessions, sunset programming and international guest DJs on the island shoreline. 

The Thailand dates follow Ministry of Sound’s recently announced Bali residency at The Stage in Seminyak, which will host the same trio on June 25th, continuing the brand’s expanding run of Asia-Pacific events as part of its year-long global anniversary tour.

“Asia has always been one of the most exciting regions in the world for electronic music culture, and this run represents a huge moment for Ministry of Sound. From The Stage in Bali to Illuzion, Phuket to Club SEEN in Koh Samui, we’re bringing the energy, heritage and global spirit of the brand into some of the most iconic nightlife destinations in the region.” – Jared McCulloch, Head of Live Events

Australia’s cult CLOSER Festival is set to make its European debut this summer, as influential underground talent SPEZ brings the concept to Bosnia & Herzegovina for the first time with an inaugural edition in Livno taking place from 24th-26th July 2026. Next to world class music, this cultured escape offers a mix of natural beauty, wild horses, lake swimming and plenty more.

Founded as an extension of SPEZ’s wider vision through Warg Records, CLOSER has previously established itself in Australia with legendary events across Sydney, Perth and Melbourne. The move into Europe marks a bold but natural next step for the project: Livno holds particular importance as SPEZ’s hometown, so ensures the festival is underpinned with a strong personal as well as cultural context.

Set against a striking natural backdrop beside one of Europe’s largest man-made lakes and beneath the Kamensko mountain range, the fully camping-based festival will welcome 5,000 attendees with multiple camping options available. The blissful site will feature swimming access, lakeside bars and restaurants with a dedicated wellness and social space called “Ritam Kahve” (or “The Rhythm of Coffee”), where traditional Bosnian coffee will be served each morning ahead of carefully curated musical programming.

Musically, CLOSER will present two immersive stages: a main stage hosting international artists, and a dedicated CLOSER stage focused on exciting emerging & underground talent, curated takeovers and label showcases. The featured hosts are Frazi.er’s PLTFRM, Amsterdam’s techno crew Vault Sessions, and Manchester’s Clergy Records — Cleric’s renowned imprint known for its uncompromising contribution to techno culture.

The lineup reflects a full and essential spectrum of contemporary techno with influential artists including Colin Benders (Live), Cleric, Daria Kolosova, Dax J, SLAM, Estella Boersma, Ignez, Yanamaste & more alongside a strong selection of emerging names.

Beyond the music, the festival will incorporate rare, unmissable experiences tied to the local landscape including organised excursions to see Livno’s wild horses in the nearby Cincar mountain range.

Since its inception, CLOSER has hosted respected labels such as Clergy Records and Mutual Rytm and was also recognised by the Victorian Government in 2023 as a festival of cultural significance, and is one of the scene’s most respected and discerning brands.

With its first European edition taking place from 24th-26th July, CLOSER continues to build long-term infrastructure for techno culture through innovative international programming and a strong focus on local culture that allows the festival to stand apart in its own right.

The DJ Harvey Revives Legendary Rulin Party at Ministry of Sound for One Night Only

by

DJ Harvey is set to perform his only UK show of 2026  this summer at Ministry of Sound. Forming part of the club’s 35th anniversary programme, the event, taking place on August 22nd, also sees the return of the club’s seminal Rulin series for the first time in over a decade, marking a momentous moment in the dance music calendar. 

“It’s been 35 years since Rulin MoS was launched and I was one of its resident DJ’s. To celebrate, for one weekend only we’re bringing it back. I’ve been given the keys to the club and partnered with Ministry of Sound & Rulin’s original founder. Together we’ve put together an incredible lineup, some DJs that played Rulin way back when and others that embody the free spirit and sound of Rulin today. I’m playing an open to close set in the box and cannot wait. In 35 years time you won’t wanna say you weren’t there, trust me!” – DJ Harvey 

Intertwined both with the history of the club and DJ Harvey’s career, Rulin was a defining Saturday night series that built a cult following in the 90s. With Harvey as the central resident, the hedonistic night was known for its expansive sound and eclectic crowds, playing an influential role in the culture of London’s club scene at the end of the century. 

Now widely regarded as a singular figure in dance music, DJ Harvey’s Rulin sets at Ministry of Sound marked a formative chapter in the early development of a career that would go on to achieve near-mythical status.

Known for his marathon sets that draw on a lifetime spent immersed in music scenes all over the world, Harvey is celebrated for a defining style that is uniquely his own. His genre-spanning selections frequently traverse everything from disco to rock, techno and acid, delivered with an attitude and aura that magnetise the dance floor.

“It’s an honour to welcome back DJ Harvey for the return of Rulin. Three decades later, we’re back where it all started, in the newly renovated space. There’s no better way to celebrate the club’s history. ” – Matt Long, Club Director 

This show will be Harvey’s first appearance at Ministry of Sound since 2019 and his first London performance in over a year, uniting three pillars of London club culture and global dance history for one night only.

EDEN IBIZA CELEBRATES UK GARAGE CULTURE WITH A NEW SERIES OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT PARTIES FEATURING DJ EZ, 23 DEGREES AND GARAGE NATION  

by

TICKETS: 23 DEGREES | DJ EZ 1, 2 | GARAGE NATION

Eden Ibiza has long been a home for the hottest sounds in Ibiza and this summer the legendary San Antonio venue is giving Garage one of its biggest moments on Ibiza’s most powerful soundsystem. 

Across a packed Wednesday programme running from June through to September, Eden is presenting three of the most important names in UKG culture – 23 Degrees, DJ EZ and Garage Nation. Together this adds up to the most significant showcase of homegrown British dance music the island has seen in years and forms a season-long celebration of a genre that has never been hotter. 

The series opens with 23 Degrees, a brand built around the authentic spirit of UK Garage and the community that never stopped loving it. Running every Wednesday from 17th June through to 22nd July, the residency brings six nights of pure UKG heat to Eden’s dancefloor and establishes the tone for everything that follows. As well as some super special one-off unannounced b2b secret sets on an ‘IYKYK’ basis, headliners include both pioneers and the best of the new school namely Bakey, Capo Lee, ESC, Flava D, Fold, Jolie P, G33, IZCO, Main Phase, MJ Cole, Reeko, Riria, RTK Tarantino, Skeptic, Silva Snipa, Yemz + more TBA.

July closes with the first of two very special evenings curated by DJ EZ – arguably the greatest selector the genre has ever produced. A man whose technical mastery and encyclopedic knowledge of the music are the stuff of genuine legend, EZ has assembled lineups that reflect his singular taste. The first night, on 29th July, pairs him with Seb Zito and The Menendez Brothers, for a night that pushes the boundaries of what a Garage event can sound like. While 26th August sees DJ EZ joined by the incomparable Todd Edwards – the New Jersey vocalist and producer whose fingerprints are all over the sound of nineties and early 2000s UKG and Speed Garage – also supporting on the second night is G33 from Girls Don’t Sync, known for her high-energy sets blending UK Bass, Garage and nostalgic edits with South Asian and South London influences. Two Nights, two very different flavours, but both unmissable.

Then, from August through to the end of September (aside from 26th August, which is given over to DJ EZ), Garage Nation takes the reins. The iconic brand has spent nearly three decades driving UK Garage from the underground into the mainstream. They recently sold out London’s 18,000-capacity O2 Arena for the second year in a row and are now all set to make their Ibiza debut across seven Wednesdays to deliver the same irresistible atmosphere, singalong energy and crowd euphoria that has made it one of the most beloved names in British Club Culture. Lining up will be all the key authentic stars of the scene including Artful Dodger, CKP, Creed, Dappz, DJ Bugzee, DJ Cartier, DJ Frenchy, DJ Luck & MC Neat, DJ S, Gavin Leon, Heartless Crew, Hyperactive, Kie, Kofi B, Majestic, Martin Liberty Larner, Matt Jam Lamont, Maxwell D, MC DT, MC Fizzy, Melody, Mike Ruff Cut Lloyd, Norris Da Boss Windross, Onyxstone, Oxide & Neutrino, Pied Piper, Preshus, PSG, Ramsey & Fen, Ranking, Ray Hurley, Romeo & Lisa Maffia, Sam Supplier, Scott Garcia, Sharky P, Shenin Amara, Special MC, Starky, Sticky, Ultra, Vapour, Wideboys and Wookie. 

The famous venue has the charm of the 90s and a rock-solid 2000s Ibiza vibe ‘brought right up to date and powered by its iconic Incubus Gold by Void Sound System,’ which is widely regarded as one of the best on the island—’definitely the most powerful’. It truly needs to be heard to be fully appreciated, it’s loud, but crystal clear, wherever you stand inside Eden.

Taken together, this is an authentic and unmissable reminder that the sounds that came out of Britain in the late 1990s and early 2000s defined a generation and continue to evolve in 2026.

LDN East Announce 4th Anniversary Summer Programme

by

Promoters HOME, Labyrinth, Forward Motion, Origins, Don’t F**k With Disco and Louder lead LDN East’s biggest season to date, with Raresh, Major League DJz, Mahmut Orhan, Gabriel Rai and more all play.

East London’s defining open-air venue LDN East marks its 4th anniversary this summer with its biggest programme to date – a season-long run of parties running from May to July that reflects the venue’s inclusive approach to club culture. Entirely constructed from repurposed shipping containers, the venue has carved out a reputation as one of the capital’s most distinctive club spaces, pairing raw industrial aesthetics with a diverse, forward-thinking live and electronic programme that attracts London locals, UK-wide ravers and international music heads alike.

The new season also marks a major evolution of the venue itself. Alongside a fully heated dancefloor, expanded rooftop-style terrace, dedicated food court and a new 900-capacity second room Upper East with a 6AM licence, LDN East is now home to one of London’s most powerful Funktion-One setups, centred around a flagship Evolution X system in the Main Arena, complemented by a Void Airmotion system in Upper East.

A new retractable roof structure allows events to shift seamlessly between open-air summer sessions and full indoor production, further cementing LDN East as one of East London’s most ambitious and sonically focused venues.

The new season opens on 16 May with Arthi & FS Green, followed by RnB Lovers on 23 May. The last weekend of May brings three consecutive nights: HOME on 24th May featuring minimal hero Raresh, plus Gabriel Rai and Timoti; Bashment Bank Holiday on 25th May; and Don’t F**k with Disco on 30 May, with Slow Jams Nation closing out the month on 31th May.

June is packed with some of the season’s biggest moments. Louder returns on 6th June with a heavyweight lineup featuring Chris Luno, Monkey Safari, ABEL, Liv Ravden and Karellos, before Uncle Wray’s Nephews lands on 7th June with its signature blend of high-energy Dancehall, Soca, Reggae, Hip-Hop & R&B.

The month’s centrepiece arrives as Labyrinth takes over LDN East for two consecutive open-air street parties on 13th and 14th June, headlined by Mahmut Orhan and Major League DJz respectively. Transforming both the venue and the surrounding streets into a sprawling 2500-capacity industrial rave space, the events blur the line between club show and mini-festival, with multiple interconnected areas, open-air dancing and the raw East London backdrop that has become synonymous with LDN East’s biggest moments. Country Club rounds out the month on 20th June before Forward Motion closes June on 27th June.

July sees the venue hosting the infamous Origins series, with Sam Alfred and The Trip on 4 July followed by P-Rallel’s NEVERMIND party on 25th July.
