DON’t MISS HIS MIXES EVERY MONDAY FROM 1:00 AM ( GMT+2) AND SATURDAY STARTING AT 17:00 (GMT +2)

This man is a music making MACHINE! House, tech, acid, all programmed live and then mixed through a Pioneer 800 with the dynamics of a dj set. We’re blown away, and you will be too. Enjoy Saytek live at the pool area of the Zoo Project Ibiza.

The future of the Ministry of Sound club has been put in doubt following a planning application by property developer Oakmayne. The company has submitted plans for a residential building on the site of the old Eileen House, which, if built, would sit opposite the Ministry of Sound building and could pose a significant threat to the club’s entertainment license. Oakmayne’s attitude towards preserving the longevity of the club is perhaps best summed up by a comment from its chairman, Christopher Allen, who when questioned gave his opinion that “nightclubs come and go”.

We disagree with you Christopher. And we refuse to just sit idly by and let this happen. Ministry of Sound is not just a nightclub. Millions of people have passed through our doors over the 18 years we have been open. 300,000 people a year visit us annually, bringing trade to Elephant & Castle and the surrounding area. In the past we have, and will always strive to, create the moments people live for, and that people never forget. We are the people that come here, the people that work here, the music that is played here and the lifelong bonds that are made here. If we lose Ministry of Sound, we are losing a vital piece of youth culture in this country. Nightclubs may have existed before Ministry of Sound, but they were never the same afterwards.

Ministry of Sound Group CEO Lohan Presencer said:

“”When Oakmayne told us that ‘nightclubs come and go’, we were horrified. Ministry of Sound is not just any nightclub; it’s the most famous nightclub in the world and the heart of a global entertainment business. These developers have cut corners at every stage and counter to their claims, they do not have the best interests of the local community at heart. We must do everything in our power to save our club and our business.” ”

Please sign our petition if you oppose Oakmayne’s planning application.

Thanks,

Ministry of Sound

My how time flies… and what an eventful 12 months it’s been since Toolroom Knights first rolled into the city, ready to launch their Pacha NYC residency last February…over the past year we’ve partied without our pants, hit the dance floor with fake moustaches, celebrated the launch of Mark’s Toolroom Knights album and pulled out all the stops for his birthday bash in June, not to mention the AMAZING talent brought in from far and wide and of course Mark’s marathon main-room sets…

These parties have been a real success, with Mark Knight brining fresh, forward thinking music to the dance floor and injecting a much-needed dose of fun into Friday night clubbing. Now it’s time to celebrate Toolroom Knights’ 1st anniversary at Pacha NYC on Friday 26th February with a 5 hour audio assault courtesy of the main man, who recently picked up a Grammy Nomination for production work on the Black Eyed Peas’ multi-platinum, no.1 selling album ‘The E.N.D’, stormed Beatport’s 2009 Best Seller list in December with the 3rd, 4th & 16th most popular releases of year with; Good Times, Music Matters, Flauta Magica and more recently picked up a nomination for Best Global Radio Show for his weekly Toolroom Knights radio show at this year’s IDMA’s and Toolroom Records (his label) are in contention for Best Global Label.

All in all it’s been a BIG year for Mark Knight & Toolroom, who’ve pioneered a sound and attitude that’s gained respect from fans and industry people alike, hungry for the integrity of the label’s production skills and the quality of their parties.

We look forward to the KNIGHT bringing down the house on the 26th February, for this the 1st anniversary of his Toolroom Knights NYC residency. ARRIVE EARLY.

If you can’t be part of the NYC action fear not, Mark and the Toolroom Knights will be in full effect at this year’s Miami Winter Music Conference, taking over Space Terrace on Friday 26th March.

Two of the biggest names in house join forces and show us what happens following a 48hr stopover in Melbourne.

Have a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0SKGEFXXr4

Everything about this record is HUGE – from the low pulsing side chained bass-line to the uplifting chords and euphoric melodies, topped off with a trademark massive drop and vocal hook that wont leave your brain. This collaborative release exhibits the production skills of two Grammy nominated artists and kicks off the season of Miami monsters with a bang.

Stopover is an anthem in the making and a vital DJ weapon that will be heard at every party during Winter Music Confence from Nikki Beach to the infamous Space Terrace downtown.
