About Ministry of Sound

Ministry of Sound the club opened in London in September 1991 and has since established a cult following among clubbers worldwide.

Celebrating its 17th Birthday this year, the venue remains at heart of the brand as it?s where the story began and has also been the catalyst for the company?s many brand ventures and extensions.

Inspired by the US house music movement James Palumbo, Ministry of Sound?s founder and visionary, established Elephant & Castle in London as the venue?s location and opted for an unused bus depot for its infrastructure due to its raw and unkempt warehouse character that was the dominant clubbing environment of the early 90?s.

The vision was to import many of the worlds most famous DJs to the UK enabling dance music fans access to the music they adored and the DJs that played and produced it. And of course supply this on a soundsystem like nothing ever experienced before in clubland, an achievement the venue can still boast today. A vision that has become ingrained into the Ministry of Sound philosophy, as the brand now enables dance music fans worldwide access to their favourite form of music via a number of channels including internet, radio, mobile, albums, singles, global tours and venues in London, Egypt and Singapore .

For many years Ministry of Sound, London has been hailed as the ?House of House? as DJ input and musical output has always concentrated on the many genres of house music. As dance music has evolved, the club output has consistently been at the forefront of the scene with its DJ line up and musical policy delivering over and above the clubbing call of duty. Ministry of Sound is the only club in London to currently hold EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCIES with Pete Tong, Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, DJ Sneak, Smokin Jo, Nic Fanciulli, Yousef, Mark Knight & Steve Angello.

Saturday nights at Ministry of Sound have consistently remained loyal to the house music circuit with the current Saturday Sessions inviting clubbers from far and wide to indulge in the many genres? that house music employs - all played by the worlds most revered and talented DJs and producers.

Friday nights have been slightly more varied in style. With the launch of Smoove back in 2000, an urban night that continued for five successful years and also the launch of Switch in 2005 which established itself as the freshest and most upfront of all the capital?s club nights presenting an eclectic mix of Drum & Bass and Hip Hop.

Ministry of Sound, London is a venue that not only started a worldwide music and lifestyle brand but also created the UK?s clubbing movement as we know it today. It introduced the DJ to the dancer, the promoter to the party and the establishment to the movement.

Alex was so sort after over the summer of 07 that he was asked to play secret villa party's for the likes of Kylie, Simon & Jasmin Le Bon, Gizelle& Sienna miller.
With his dj sets spanning across every genre and style, with a seamless flow that would have any party going insane Alex is one of the most versatile & indemand dj in the world today.

It has been a whirlwind couple of years for the humble Liverpool lad, who has landed what he calls his "dream job". However, the 'dream job' wasn't handed to Alex on a silver platter. It has been earned through years of experience and by building a profile that any 27 year old dj would die for.

not long to go now!

[Maniac Punk]

Wow!!! Silverblack Card members go for free???

That's AWSOME!!!!!!

I got an SBC card and I got so much free stuff.....Just makes me wonder how those guys manage to pull off such cool offers.

I read somewhere that Alex Wolfenden is a Cafe Mambo DJ....is this true?

Also, is there a mix of Alex that I can download or check out cause I have a mix but the recording is really bad and mono sounding so I would like a new one to replace it.

Let me and the other HKclubbing devotees know.

[Guru]

Alex is fantastic - he's been a hot pick for a lot of big events over the last year!

Looking forward to hearing him play at Beijing Club on the 23rd!


Don't forget, the local support line-up is something to come early and stick around for till late! Expect a very original house sound from Taipan Dan!
