A new 416-page Rizzoli hardbook explores the club’s formative years through unseen archives, oral histories and rare memorabilia.
The story of the London nightclub Ministry of Sound will be told for the first time in a new 416-page hardcover book titled Ministry of Sound: Anthology. It documents the club’s formative years and explosive growth through rare archival material, unseen memorabilia and is delivered via a collection of first-hand accounts from key figures in dance music culture.
Written and designed by Grammy-nominated creative director Simon Moore and published by renowned publisher Rizzoli New York, the book traces Ministry of Sound’s evolution from its origins in the early 1990s, inspired by a combination of New York clubs, including Paradise Garage and the UK rave scene, through to its emergence as one of the most influential institutions in global dance music culture.
The book features recollections from figures closely tied to the club’s history, many speaking for the first time, including the founders, staff members, clubbers and DJs Paul Oakenfold, David Morales, Carl Craig, Moby, Princess Julia, Pete Tong, Steve Angello and Honey Dijon, among many others.
