This September marks the 30 year anniversary of the opening of our London club, back in 1991. Inspired by New York’s cavernous house venues, our home was a derelict bus garage in South London. The first night had no alcohol, three flashing lights, moody security and unless you knew the names of at least half a dozen Chicago house DJs, you were never getting through the menacing, prison-like, gates.

Since then, Ministry of Sound has grown into one of the biggest electronic music brands in the world. Taking in an incredibly successful record label, global touring brand and most of all, cementing our London club as the most famous nightclub in the world.

To celebrate such a momentous occasion, we’re inviting you to a three-part celebration taking in all things Ministry of Sound. We’ve expertly curated three events championing each of the three main genres that have found a home in SE1.

Part 1 – Trance – Friday 17th September (Night)

Tickets

Friday nights at Ministry of Sound are synonymous with Trance, so we’ve assembled the very best names from Trance old and new. The legend, Paul Van Dyk will be doing a special ’30 years of electronic music set’.

PVD will be joined in The Box by trance heavyweights Aly & Fila, Will Atkinson and John Askew. Over in 103 former residents Judge Jules and Tall Paul head up a celebration of that big room sound that has soundtracked so many nights on Gaunt Street.

Lineup: Paul Van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Will Atkinson, John Askew, Judge Jules, Tall Paul, Paul Thomas, Lottie, Alex Anderson, Ryan Spicer & more

Part 2 – UKG – Saturday 18th September (Day)

Tickets

Next up in our triple-threat birthday, you can enjoy a full day of back to back old (and not so old) Skool UKG – a genre that grew out of Ministry of Sound afterparties before becoming one of the most loved sounds at the club.

We’ve got very special live guests Heartless Crew, joining an all-star team of UKG DJs including DJ Zinc, Todd Edwards B2B Majestic, Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont, Zed Bias, Sunship, SHOSH, Martin ‘Liberty’ Larner and Perception.

Lineup: DJ Zinc, Todd Edwardsb2b Majestic, Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont, Zed Bias, Sunship, Heartless Crew & more

Part 3 – House – Saturday 18th September (Night)

Tickets

Finally, Saturday night will take us back to the earliest days of Ministry and the genre most intertwined with our thirty-year history. House music has been our first and most enduring love, so it’s only right that Saturday night sees us welcome back some of the best house selectors of the past three decades.

Few artists have made a bigger impact on house music over the last 30 years than Armand Van Helden, a bonafide legendary producer with a jaw-dropping back catalogue. Joining Armand are one of the biggest UK acts of the past three decades, Groove Armada, with fast-rising star Bellaire and the man who started it all, Ministry of Sound founder, Justin Berkmann. The rest of Saturday night will see our full team of residents bring 30 years of bangers to SE1.

Lineup: Armand van Helden, Groove Armada, Bellaire, The Menendez Brothers, Justin Berkmann, Fat Tony, Arielle Free, Jimmy Switch b2b Griff, Brian Summers, Matt Francey & more

On 3rd – 5th June 2022, ‘In It Together Festival’ will bring something to the lush Welsh valleys that the country has never seen before: 40,000 people, eight stages of world-class, multi-genre music, and three days of rich entertainment and cultural enlightenment that will go down in history at Newlands Farm, Margam, South Wales. 

This family-friendly camping experience from festival juggernauts Escape Records will give more than 50 carefully selected Welsh artists the biggest platforms of their careers, with a specially curated stage specifically for the very best in local talent. They will share the bill with a host of international superstars across a diverse and inclusive program of music and entertainment that also includes cabaret, comedy and circus fun, all with a focus on well-being and mental health. 

The Escape team behind the event have firmly established themselves as the leading event promoters in Wales over recent years, having previously launched three hugely successful festivals across the country; Inside Out, Colour Clash and Party At The Park, as well as breathing new life into one of Wales’ most beloved legacy festival brands, Escape, each with capacities ranging from 5000 to 15,000 people. 

And now comes the biggest and boldest of them all. In It Together Festival will have a key spotlight on local talent as the team have been working hard to unearth the next Welsh superstars with their Welsh Artist Spotlight Scheme. More than 50 talents nurtured by the scheme will all play across The Paddock and Forgotten Garden Stage, showcasing their skills on a fantastic platform that will truly establish them as leaders of the next generation.

Panchaia is all about dance music with a mix of disco, techno and house across the weekend. The Paddock Stage is the place to discover red hot emerging acts from the indie and rock world, while the Escape Records Stage will feature the various sounds and artists showcased across the label, covering house, bass and grime.

For those interested in furthering themselves in other ways, The Retreat will have a focus on mental health and wellbeing, with a variety of classes, demonstrations and speeches from experts and insiders. For the younger revelers, Tic Tac Toe is a family activity area hosted by Junior Jungle offering 10 hours of family activities each day. Finally, for the VIPs among us, The Miami Club will offer a truly VIP experience, complete with its own separate camp site. 

The festival all goes down in expansive, rolling green countryside at Newlands Farm, Margam, Port Talbot with stunning views and no noise restrictions. Camping options include a luxury site with bell tents, tipis and yurts, with a separate, quieter campsite for those who want to relax and bring their own tents, plus a dedicated campsite for 16-17-year-olds and a louder, more party-ready campsite for those who want to stay up later.

Terminal V unveils biggest electronic music event Scotland has ever seen

by

Date: 30th & 31st October

Location: The Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh

Tickets: www.terminalv.co.uk
After many painful postponements, the wait is nearly over. The time has almost come to set a new standard. Scottish nightlife has re-opened, and Terminal V is set to again prove why it is such a game-changing event. 
This year’s epic Halloween event on Saturday, October 30th and 31st will see 20,000 people per day party across five bespoke stages with tens of world-class superstars including Amelie Lens, Sven Vath, Helena Hauff, Ben UFO, Nina Kraviz, Robert Hood (LIVE), Marcel Dettmann x DJ Stingray 313, Haai, Honey Dijon, Derrick Carter, Maceo Plex, Tale of Us, Eats Everything, The Blessed Madonna, KiNK (LIVE), Octo Octa x Eris Drew, Shanti Celeste x Moxie, Man Power, Mike Servito, Dax J, and many more are all ready to set a new benchmark for Scottish events. 


Previously a one-day event, Terminal V now offers two full days of partying which is an exciting and rewarding move for the thousands of music lovers who have lost out on 18+ months of festivals and nightlife. 95% of tickets are sold out so head to www.terminalv.co.uk to be part of this historic event. 
It has been a challenging year for all, but Terminal V never gave up. After putting on some of the boldest and most adventurous parties in Europe in recent years, the team has spent the pandemic working hard on a comeback event like no other. As the first supersized event in 18 months, Terminal V Halloween will have an extra special sense of magic in the air as well as a blistering soundtrack from a real who’s who of the modern underground landscape. With so much time to plan this huge blowout, you can expect next-level immersive lighting, brain-altering visuals and special themed production to make this one play out like a spooky nocturnal adventure. 

It is Terminal V’s attention to detail and devotion to serving up experience like no other that has stood them apart in recent years. Each of these now-iconic seasonal events has sold out, yet in just four years Terminal V’s events have grown from 2000(1 day) to 40,000(over 2 days) in capacity despite a pandemic sandwiched in between. These epic events have truly made the raw, vast warehouse spaces that make up the site at The Royal Highland Centre and showground in Edinburgh’s outskirts their home.
You can be sure there is no festival quite like and as magnificent and sensory-stimulating as a Terminal V event anywhere in Europe and that will be the case at Halloween. 


Amongst the many highlights is the fact that on Saturday, Nina Kraviz will be closing the biggest stage, named Area V,  in blistering fashion, and Amelie Lens will shut it down with a bang on Sunday. There are also a handful of mouthwatering B2Bs including Ben UFO x Helena Hauff doing only their second-ever face-off, the high energy, much-loved pair of US duo Eris Drew & Octa Octa, unrelenting techno terminators Marcel Dettmann and Detroit’s DJ Stingray 313 and contemporary festival favourites Alan Fitzpatrick and Rebuke. 
Says Terminal V’s Derek Martin, “We’ve spent the most part of the past 18 months working with artists, and management rescheduling the event numerous times, yet further building the festival site , stages and lineup. It has been amazing to see our customers standing by us throughout these unprecedented times, keeping hold of their tickets and allowing us to ensure the event takes place in the months ahead. That has given us even more drive to deliver the very best event we can.”


On Saturday, Area V features Nina Kraviz, Marcel Dettmann b2b DJ Stingray 313, Robert Hood LIVE, Dax J, I Hate Models and Stephen Brown. The Terminal  is headlined by Alan Fitzpatrick, Joyhauser, Alan Fitzpatrick x Rebuke, Deborah de Luca, T78 and Ejeca. The Hangar features Ben UFO b2b Helena Hauff, Haai, Avalon Emerson,Octo Octa x Eris Drew,  Shanti Celeste X Moxie, Nite Fleit. Cargo brings Honey Dijon, Derrick Carter, Mike Servito, Kornel Kovacs, Luke Solomon and Ewan McVicar, and Blackbox has Hector Oaks, Regal, Frazi.er, SHDW & Obscure Shape, Milo Spykers and Elli Acula. 
On Sunday Area V features Amelie Lens, Sven Vath, Helena Hauff, FJAAK, Airod, Fraz.ier, The Terminal is headlined by Eats Everything, Solardo, Rebuke, Eli Brown, Jamie Roy and Ammara.

Continuing its legacy as what the New York Times referred to as a “pilgrimage event on the global techno calendar,” Time Warp today, in partnership with long-term NYC collaborators Teksupport, announced the bill for its return to New York this Fall, following a two year hiatus. its new Brooklyn location will play host to two days of audiovisual technical immersion soundtracked by some of house and techno’s top talent. 


Time Warp will showcase a mélange of underground heroes from around the world, including several who’ve become central pillars to the event and its community over its storied 27 year history. Global scene shaper and recent Prada collaborator Richie Hawtin reprises his headlining role—a duty he’s carried on with diligence since Time Warp’s 1995 Mannheim debut. Chilean iconoclast veteran Ricardo Villalobos makes a return as well, this time alongside longtime b2b partner and Tyrant co-founder Craig Richards. Villalobos remains a rare delicacy stateside, but thanks to his deep-rooted ties to the Time Warp and Teksupport families, fans have been able to witness his brilliance twice in New York the past seven years. 

Âme, whose Time Warp legacy kicked off in 2007 brings a slice of Berlin house to the party. Second State owners Pan-Pot also represent Berlin, along with Ostgut Ton/Berghain figureheads Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann for a rare b2b—all three of whom were inducted into the family in 2012. Seth Troxler rounds out the list of historic talents to grace the roster. The political activist, multilabel head, and Lost Souls of Saturn member has been an annual fixture at Time Warp’s flagship Mannheim event since 2011.


Techno always takes center stage at Time Warp New York, with all sides of the spectrum covered by its all-star cast. On the melodic end, Afterlife stalwarts Adriatique are set to bring their expertise to the decks, while virtuoso Stephan Bodzin will bring a full hardware kit to the show. Industrial aficionados will enjoy performances by Paula Temple, Kobosil, and a live showing by Reinier Zonneveld. International superstar Nina Kraviz will serve up her signature high-tempo mix of techno and electro cuts, while KiNK will showcase his impressive penchant for improvisation on his array of keyboards and synths. 


Time Warp’s communal ethos extends to the cities it touches, as such, New York talent will be spotlighted with local mainstays DESNA, Avision, Shahar, mink, and O.BEE on display. 
Since its 2014 debut in New York, Time Warp has made the city a second home with local impresario Teksupport as its chosen partner. Its 2019 return saw fans gathered from across the nation to celebrate 25 years of Time Warp, which also marked the first large-scale underground dance music event to happen in the Bronx. The results were massive, ushering in a new era for the global brand and a bright chapter for American house and techno enthusiasts. Following a forced two-year break since, fans can expect peak energy for its grand 2021 return.
​​


Teksupport has produced some of New York’s most unique and exciting parties of recent years. They have scoured the city to unearth new locations, throwing parties in submarine factories, navy yards, subterranean ballrooms and industrial warehouses, building a reputation for pairing raw spaces with world-class event production. Their 2021 summer season played a role in reasserting the city’s prominence as an underground dance music mecca, hosting the likes of DJ Tennis, The Martinez Brothers, Sven Väth, Guy Gerber, Dixon, Perel, and more. 
Time Warp’s return to New York will follow its prodigal return to Mannheim on October 30 2021 before heading south to its Brazil HQ of São Paulo. Head to their website for more information on their international events and to sign up for tickets.

PartyMate is Creating A Whole New Party Planning Experience 

The name says it all: PartyMate is an essential new app for music lovers and promoters. It brings together listings of all the very best events in any specified area in one slick, easy-to-use app that is available now at https://partymate.party/getApp.

PartyMate is a social platform and calendar that lists all the best parties bars and clubs wherever users are in the world. It could be their hometown, or it could be somewhere they are heading on vacation so they can easily make plans for the trip of a lifetime. The app shows which events a user’s friends are attending so they never miss out on the action and offers an all-in-one solution for essential party planning needs including a location map, calendar, Instagram integration and Friends features. 

Says PartyMate CEO Niklas von Weihe “PartyMate is here to revolutionize the party experience. It gives users a brand new App for their personal nightlife and gives them the chance to see what friends are up to. Promoters and hosts also gain an all-in-one platform for precise event marketing, AI-backed analytics, VIP services and many more. It is a simple, easy-to-use solution to many nightlife issues, right int the palm of your hand.”

PartyMate is building a large user base separate from Facebook and targeted at Gen Z and millennials looking for something new. The specialist platform has targeted ads for visits, returning customers, VIPs and groups. 

PartyMate Business is a vital set of eyes on the key data points every promoter needs. It offers an easy COVID check-in feature, digitalisation features, allows content to be imported from Facebook and various marketing tools. Partners have their own special check-in areas that take you to a custom-designed space with exclusive content and line-ups, real-time and historical analytics for reviewing event performance and rebooking of artists, a real-time count of people inside a venue, bump times, crowd demographics and will soon offer CRM possibilities on a clean and simple interface. 

Forthcoming new features include easy order label service options, location maps, a guestlist and VIP tool, ticketing options and the ability for special partners to have their own unique, fully-branded white label designs. The app has already partnered with MS Dockville, Lunatic Festival, Speedway Music Festival and many more in the works. 

PartyMate is a crucial new app that will make planning a night out easier than ever, and offer business users a whole new set of analytics and tools that will make their job that much simpler.
