Ministry of Sound celebrates its 35th anniversary as one of the world's most influential club brands and Lohan Presencer and Caitlin McAllister joined Alan and Clara to reflect on the club's journey from a disused bus garage inspired by New York's Paradise Garage to becoming a global dance music institution. They discuss the founders' obsession with creating the ultimate sound system, the rise of the legendary Ministry of Sound compilation albums, and how the club helped launch countless DJs, producers and record labels. Lohan also reveals how Ministry developed 21 UK No.1 singles, signed artists including Example, DJ Fresh, Wretch 32 and London Grammar, and built one of dance music's most successful record businesses. The conversation explores the challenges facing modern club culture, from rising costs and property development to nurturing new talent and protecting London's nightlife. They also explain why, despite today's festival-sized productions, Ministry's intimate dancefloor remains one of the world's favourite clubs for both DJs and clubbers.
