Ministry of Sound Australia

Ministry of Sound is Australia's leading music tastemaker and youth lifestyle brand. Started up by Sydney DJ Tim McGee and friends back in 1999, the label is regarded by most as one of the influential forces behind the growth of dance music culture within the country. Evolving over the years, the operation has recently moved into their new premises in Crown Street, Surry Hills; complete with listening rooms, wide-screen TV's and a recording studio. The local home for international artists such as Bob Sinclar, Example, Duck Sauce, Laidback Luke, and Afrojack, and responsible for releasing iconic compilation brands including ‘The Annual', ‘Sessions' and ‘Clubbers Guide', Ministry of Sound Australia is leading the journey into the future. Still shifting their tunes in CD format, they are edging ever closer to the digital dream where music can be downloaded straight from the airwaves into your brain. www.ministryofsound.com.au
