For 25 years Ministry of Sound have been the pioneers of dance music, championing new music through two decades dance music is deeply embedded in our heritage. However, there is one genre of dance music that we hold closer to our heart than all the others and that genre is HOUSE music. We have a special bond that has allowed us to be the creators of moments; to reignite memories and to live on through generations we dont play house music. We are house music and this is Ministry of House. The popularity of house music has been evident in recent years with the huge success of Anthems House and the House That Garage Built which have sold over 200K copies combined. This time, we have raised the bar once again creating the ultimate album for anyone who loves house music.

“The stone that’s buried: what the fruit is for.” So goes the title track from Plum, Widowspeak’s forthcoming fifth album. The line serves as an apt analogy for the record itself: the self-aware sweetness that the band employs to deliver the seed of a harder, sharper idea. Singer Molly Hamilton coats wry observations in a voice as honeyed as the sun-ripened fruit, and Widowspeak have always made a bitter pill much easier to swallow. From its opening strum, there’s a palpable warmth and familiarity to the music even as it hints at darker truths below the surface, questions about inherent worth. What value and meaning do we assign ourselves, our time, and how do we spend it?
