Content Editor London, England
Job description
About Us
Ministry of Sound opened in 1991 in a disused bus garage in a forgotten corner of South London. It was the first nightclub in the UK to have a 24-hour licence, didn’t serve alcohol and featured an earth-shaking sound system in a specially constructed dance box. We went on to become the world’s largest independent record company and stage giant dance events, including one for 50,000 people at the Millennium Dome.
We were pioneers in electronic music and have a history of taking risks, innovation, and colourful and creative marketing. As a business we don’t take ourselves too seriously, like to laugh and have fun, but we have high standards, a relentless attention to detail and the continuous improvement of our product, and we work hard as a team. We hate cliché, doing things the way others do and continuously seek to differentiate our brands and products almost as a point of pride. We are a pioneering international brand that continually evolves and disrupts notions of space, sound and music.
Ministry of Sound is a venue synonymous with excellence. We host the best artists, the best sound system, the best production and we deliver the best service. This has brought us the accolade of being described as one of the clubbing wonders of the world.
Thirty years later we opened The Ministry, a workspace run as a member’s club, in a 50,000 sq. ft Victorian warehouse in SE1. 2024 will see the opening of a second Ministry in Shepherds Bush.
