Ministry of Sound / / History

// Ministry of Sound London, commonly referred to as simply Ministry of Sound or MoS, is a nightclub based in London, United Kingdomand an associated record label.// It was ranked fourth in the 2010 DJ Magazine top 100 clubs poll 2010. // In addition to the nightclub inLondon, there are two others, Egypt and Malaysia. // The Ministry of Sound brand also includes various other products such as dance music compilations and clothing.// Ministry of Sound is owned by MSHK Group Limited: it has global sales of £80 million and employs up to 500 personnel worldwide. // Its mission statement is: "to create the moments that people live for".// The company also owns the Hed Kandi, Euphoria, and Hard2Beatbrands, and co-owns Ministry of Sound Australia's Hussle Recordings// Ministry of Sound’s London nightclub was the brainchild of DJ Justin Berkmann, who set out to create London’s first club devoted to the American house music scenes of New York, Chicago and Detroit, with a room purely dedicated to sound.// Berkmann stated: "My concept for Ministry was purely this: 100% sound system first, lights second, design third (in that order); the reverse of everyone else’s idea." // Berkmann partnered with James Palumbo and Humphrey Waterhouse to bring the concept to life and a site, a disused bus garage, was located in Elephant & Castle in Southwark, London. // The club opened on 21 September 1991.// UK’s first 24-hour dance license, and a 150dB(A) sound-system built by Austen Derek, Ministry of Sound London quickly grew in popularity as a clubbing venue, despite the lack of an alcohol license for the first three years and notoriously strict door policies.// Today, the club remains at the forefront of the global dance music scene, with DJs playing mix sets every Friday and Saturday night.// The club comprises five main areas; the Bar, the Baby Box, the VIP and the Loft and the Box, the latter housing the club’s primary sound-system, with a specially-built roof to contain sound and a sprung floor intended to enable clubbers to dance for many hours without tiring, inspired by the dancefloor at the Paradise Garage.// Ministry of Sound is the world's largest independent record label (group sales approach £100 million annually) with 200 employees in its London offices, while the 300,000 who visit the club each year would take their money elsewhere were the club to move.
