Ministry Of Sound

In 1991, Jamie Palumbo, the son of British property developer Lord Peter Palumbo, launched his first Ministry of Sound 'super club' in South London. Over the next fifteen years, the MoS brand and logo expanded into a multinational franchise with dance clubs across Asia and Europe. During the mid-1990s, Ministry of Sound introduced its record label, highlighting Trance and House music compilations, DJ mixes, and artists.

Recognized as the UK's largest independent label, MoS diversified further by launching satellite and internet radio stations and offering DRM-free downloads on their websites. As the millennium approached, Ministry of Sound Australia Ltd and Ministry of Sound Germany GmbH were founded. The German branch became independent from the UK headquarters in 2007, rebranding as Embassy of Music three years later. In August 2016, Ministry of Sound was acquired by Sony Music Entertainment's UK branch.

In the US, Ministry of Sound non-import releases were rebadged and distributed through Ultra Records, while in Spain, they were released via Blanco y Negro.
