Hi Folks,

Some advice please. I've been firmly entrenched for the past couple of years in London's gay scene in Vauxhall and am now sick and fed up of unimaginative music, G-casualties and enough attitude to make you never want to set foot in a club again.

So the boyf and I are thinking of MOS this Saturday -Tong and Tom Novy. What do you think? Or are there any other options people would propose.

Thanks.
 
Ministry is tried and tested, I've never had a bad night there and I go there a LOT :lol:

You do get a few tourist tw@ts but I think that's a London thing in general in clubs, they tend to clear out early anyway. I've not actually been to Pure cos I'm not a big fan of Tongy but people who have been have always said good things about it.
 
I've never been despite having lived in London,thing that put me off was some people said that there are so many pretentious coked up twats in there who are up their own arses,stand around posing and think they are something they are not,that's not my scene at all im from the old skool completly different from that type of scene, maybe that's only on certain clubnites though,perhaps someone can clarify?

No it's nothing like that at all, it's just about good clubbing - you just have to seen their line-ups to see the callibre of the DJs they attract and when the main rooms goes off it's one of the best rooms for clubbing I've ever been to.

Well I've been going regularly for over 7 years, my b/friend has been going for over 10 years and we're not coked up tw@ts and we have no complaints about the place, maybe it's best to try something out for yourself instead of commenting on something you've not tried out ;)

Ministry normally put photos from nights on their website so try there.

Ministry 15 Years Party Goes With A Bang!!

11 September 2006

This weekend saw 2 days of clubbing that will no doubt go down in Dance floor legend, as the club celebrated Ministry of Sound’s 15th Birthday with Soul Heaven on the Friday and the 15th Birthday party on Saturday.

The balloons were throbbing to the ear splitting bass and the ticker tape well and truly pounded into those famous dance floors as the celebrations got under way on Saturday night with a full capacity club heaving to the pulse of a 15 year old mammoth in Dance heritage.

Calling on 7 of their residents old and new, including CJ Mackintosh, Marc Hughes, Jazzy M, Mark Knight, Steve Angello and Justin Berkman (co-founder of Ministry of Sound), the club out on a night of music celebrating a decade and a half of musical excellence.

With an awesome set from Danny Rampling –who came out of retirement to play the box for one night only – the club was thrown back to its roots, with freaks and queens of old dusting off their platforms and fish nets, as tracks that were broken and immortalised got a much missed airing as the temperature soared once again to hedonistic proportions.

The atmosphere was electric as the Blue Man Group finished their awe-inspiring visual and musical display and Mr Rampling climbed the steps to the decks and lay down his first club classic.

The crowd was sent back to the glory days as classic tracks from the dawning days of house ripped through the world famous sound system and clubbers raised their hands in the air to welcome back a Ministry of Sound legend.

After an inspiring set ranging from the 90’s to present day, Mark Knight and Steve Angello went back to back to keep up the pace Rampling had set as the bar pulsated to eclectic sets from MARC Hughes and Justin Berkman and Julian Jonah valiantly upheld the baby box.

Part 2 of the tribute to the 15 years of Dance floor history will be forthcoming this week –so keep your eyes peeled for interviews with Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold, Jazzy M, Seamus Haji and CJ Mackintosh reliving their time at Ministry and some of the best tracks ever to grace the 1210’s…

Here’s to you and to another 15 years!

Have you met barbie before then? ;)

Im considering going to this too. Demi was brilliant at the first Pure night in March.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Looks like we'll be giving MOS a go. I haven't heard Tongy play for a few years, and have never heard Tom Novy. Any ideas what the musical "journey" of the night might be? Need to pace myself......

tongy plays quite a tough house electro sound............tom novy is a bit more housier but i've heard him bash it out like commander tom on 10 grams of el salvadorian before too.
 
Also you've got 3 rooms @ Ministry - not sure who's in the Bar and Baby Box but they're both good rooms so if the Box isn't your thing for a while try one of the other rooms ;)

Yep it's this Saturday, I'm like you I think Tongy can either be very good or very bad - and when he's bad he's terrible :twisted: It's a 4 dates a year residency he's got @ Ministry - the previous 2 have apparently been very good tho.
 
thanks! i may give it a go if there is nothing else on.... i saw him in Ibiza a couple of weeks ago.. he came on right after Danny Howells ( who was brilliant !) but Tong was dreadful :roll: :evil:
