pretty dope! I can hardly wait til the end of 2024 to hear that mix!!

Ministry of Sound Group is a multimedia entertainment business based in London with a nightclub, shared workspace and private members club, worldwide events operation, music publishing business and fitness studio.

James Palumbo is the co-founder and former Chairman and CEO of the Group. He handed over the day-to-day running of the business to Lohan Presencer in 2008. In 2018, Presencer became chairman.
Ministry of Sound began as the idea of Justin Berkmann. Inspired by New York’s Paradise Garage - which he described as "an amazing club. It had lights, darkness, music, quiet – everything you wanted" - Berkmann set out to create London's first club devoted to the American house music scenes of 1980s New York City, Newark (which centred around Club Zanzibar), Chicago and Detroit. As opposed to striking a balance between the typical hallmarks of a live music venue, Ministry of Sound was conceived as an arena 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." According to him, they spent £500,000 on the club's sound system, and the same amount again on soundproofing the club using magnesite: they wanted to be able to turn the sound system up as loud as possible without disturbing the neighbours, and tested it to a volume of 156 decibels without the sound leaking outside. In addition to drawing inspiration from the Paradise Garage, the club borrowed the idea of using changing set designs from another New York City club, Area, with the first being based around Blade Runner, Berkmann's favourite film.

Berkmann was introduced to James Palumbo, who was working in property finance at the time, by Humphrey Waterhouse to realise the concept. The site, a disused bus garage, is located in Elephant & Castle in Southwark, London. The club opened on 21 September 1991 and has remained in this location since. Having considered "a load of daft names" for the club, including Get Off My Foot and The Ghost and Mrs Chicken, Berkmann came up with Ministry of Sound after walking past the Ministry of Defence Main Building.

With opening sets from American house and garage DJ's Larry Levan, David Morales, Roger Sanchez and Tony Humphries, as well as Paul Oakenfold, Ministry of Sound grew as a clubbing venue. According to Berkmann, it managed to empty rival nightclub Tramp for its first six months by drawing its celebrity clientele, before "they stopped coming and it was more about the dance music community". It now attracts around 300,000 clubbers per year[1] and has hosted sets from popular DJ's including: Adam Beyer, DJ Harvey, Dixon, Marshmello, Jozeff and Pete Tong. It has won the IDMA ‘World’s Best Sound System’ award four years in a row - every year they ran the category.

The capacity of The Box (the main room) is 600 people, and there are other smaller rooms within the club. There are three weekly club nights: Fridays feature Lock n Load brand The Gallery which are primarily trance music, whilst Saturdays host a number of club nights which are primarily house music. In 2016, these included Defected, Glitterbox, Rinse FM, Hospitality and Together. On Tuesday the club hosts a student session called Milkshake, established in 2002.

Classic House Vol.1

This is a recording of the music I played on Dec 26th 2015 at Coda in Toronto for the 11th annual Old School Boxing Day party.

I dropped many of the tunes from the late 90s / early 2000s that, to me, were THE biggest house music anthems of the time. Of course, with only an hour set I could only squeeze in so many tunes (I might just have to revisit this series a few more times to completely showcase my influences).

I realize that many house music veterans have heard these tunes a million times, but others from the new generation will be listening with fresh ears for the first time. Turn it up. Enjoy. These are my roots...

Dj Suave Dj / Producer / Remixer / Soul City Events from Los Angels California U.S.A. 

Dj Suave is a 35 year dj veteran with no signs of slowing down. He started djing in 1985 and was heavily influenced by the mix masters on 1580 KDAY which included The World Class Wreckin Crew & Jamin Gemini.
 
He was introduced to House music in 1987 by a friend that had a mix tape by the Legendary New York Dj Larry Levan. Since that day Dj Suave fell in love with House music and has never looked back!!
 
Around 1989-91 that same friend introduced Suave to the Underground scene, and that’s were he saw Doc Martin and Suave’s dj education began. All through out the 90’s Dj Suave learned from the best. Doc Martin, Marques Wyatt, Dj Sneak, Mark Farina, Louie Vega, The Wicked Crew and Steve Loria. And later on it was Dj Harvey and Francois Kevorkian who where highly influential.
 
Hailing from West Covina, Dj Suave noticeably stood out from the rest of his dj peers through out the S.G.V. & I.E. Due to his Underground education, while all the other djs were playing “Hard House” Dj Suave stayed true to himself and kept on pushing Underground House music. And that caught the attention of Richard Vission. Dj Suave was asked to be a regular on Powertools, making him not the first dj to play underground Deep House, but he was the first regular dj on Powertools to play Deep Underground House Music. Suave was a regular on Powertools from 1994 – 2003.
 
In 2004 he was also the first to introduce the 3-turntable set up to the East side club scene. During his residency @ Qc’s for Lucky Lounge, Dj Suave build a House following in the patio, to such a point that it was almost like two different events going on.
 
From that following he was able to build what was to become one of the biggest House Music events in Los Angeles………SOUL CITY!!!!
 
In April 2006 Dj Suave did his first Soul City event @ Ambiente in Alhambra. And from there it went from Crazy Horse, Playhouse, Avalon, Luna, Sound & Exchange L.A.
 
Dj Suave is one of the most versatile djs around. From Latin, Funk, Afro-Beat, Disco, Latin Jazz, Bosa, D&B, Soul, Deep House, House, Tech & Techno. With over 16K records, Dj Suave still plays vinyl as much as he can. Producing the “Estereo” parties, which featured an all vinyl classic house night.
 
Francois Kevorkian, Dj Harvey & Doc Martin are Dj Suave’s teachers and have been the most influential in Dj Suave’s dj career.
 
The past 15 years Suave has played at Club/Raves all over L.A., San Diego, San Francisco, Vegas including Chicago, Miami, Denver, El Paso, Toronto, Baltimore and Mexico City! With serious production time being put in, Suave will be releasing numerous tracks on Move Rec. out of Spain.

Genre: House, Deep House, Tech House, Techno, Disco, Latin, Afro-Beat, Soul, Funk, Dub and all forms of Left Field & Rare Grooves
