.ministryofsound President Dipesh Parmar discusses the label's origin, its brightest stars and what aspiring producers can do to get on the Ministry radar.
Originally located in an abandoned bus shelter that was renovated into the iconic nightclub from which it takes its name, Ministry of Sound has been a leading electronic music label since its launch in the mid-90s, when London was a primary hub of the then-burgeoning dance scene.
Here, Ministry of Sound President Dipesh Parmar discusses the label's origin, its brightest stars and what aspiring producers can do to get on the Ministry radar.Ministry nightclub doors were opened in 1991 by Justin Berkmann and James Palumbo. They opened without a drinks license or any seating, and at the time it was in one of the roughest areas in South East London in a disused bus shelter. Paradise Garage was the inspiration – the sound system, the main room, the music.
The label was based a corridor away from the main room in the same disused bus shelter and literally an hour across London from all the major labels in High Street Kensington. We liked being an outlier, away from the competition. It allowed us to form our own identity in our own way, almost with an underdog mentality.
I think it’s fair to say we were even busier during the pandemic! Dance music has and continues to over index in the UK according to the BPI across streaming and radio. People want feel-good and uplifting music. The UK went into lockdown, and we had the first No.1 single for two weeks with SAINt JHN ‘Roses’ . It really focused the team. It gave everyone purpose that actually, we can still try and operate in a way to deliver what our fans and the public want.
