Basement Jaxx at Ministry of Sound

Following the news that clubbing institution Ministry of Sound has avoided the bulldozer (hooray!), it cements its sparing in-style with a huge party featuring soulful-house legends Basement Jaxx. The chart-topping band will also be joined by American house-superstar and Daft Punk collaborator Todd Edwards, as well as hot-producer Justin Robertson in the 102: Spacestation room. This promises to be an energetic and vibrant night filled with audio and visual spectacles in London’s best superclub. Saturday 15th October, 23:00-07:00.
