Euphoric grooves with a new name in tow

CLUB BEAT WITH JASON CHEAH


ADVANCE WARNING SPECIAL

MINISTRY OF SOUND - EUPHORIA

Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel, Bandar Sunway, PJ

IT’s officially the Ministry of Sound (MOS) now and Bandar Sunway’s biggest clubbing hotspot continues to pull in the crowd. Next Friday, UK-based label Hed Kandi, established almost a decade ago and acquired by MOS €“ turns up the heat as DJ Andy Daniels and saxophonist Lady Victoria take control for one night.

The top dance music lifestyle choice worldwide, Hed Kandi evolved from a compilation label into the leading global dance brand with a catalogue spanning over 80 album releases, a number of artiste projects, UK Top Ten singles and a string of Top 40 hits to date. Establishing itself also as a radio show and international club night, Hed Kandi sets out to deliver music that appeals to clubbers worldwide, showcasing the finest eclectic, stylish music that is predominantly vocal, soulful house, US garage and glittering disco.

DJ Andy Daniels is set to elevate our local clubbers’ experience with his well-developed style of house music. Having spent many years behind the turntables, Andy’s passion for house music was nurtured in Manchester where he grew up and developed a love for rare groove, soul, funk, electro and disco, having taken up residency at some of the best clubs in Manchester as well as playing on international platforms alongside DJ legends such as John Digweed, Carl Cox, Sasha, Joe T Vannelli, Erick Morillo, Tall Paul and many others.

Amid a hectic schedule of performances, Andy has also been able to include a few remix releases and the production of new tracks to his already expansive portfolio. Captivating and moving audiences with his feel good music and unmatched spinning skills.

Adding sizzle to the dance floor is Lady Victoria on the saxophone. A graduate of Sir Paul McCartney’s Performing Arts Institute, Victoria demonstrates an unparalleled versatility that stems from her musical roots which lie deep in 1970s soul, funk, and smooth Jazz.
