Masterpiece brings you legends from the world of music that have one unique story to tell through their own influences and inspirations. A collection like no other that really holds its creator in serious high regard.
Masterpiece welcomes none other than Andrew Weatherall.

Andrew Weatherall's history goes back far to the beginning of the British acid house scene, having swung gigs
for himself at Danny Rampling's legendary Shoom night off the back of the sort of sounds Andrew
showcased on “that” compilation for Nuphonic – entitled 9 O'Clock Drop. Subsequently, his
connections with the original Boys Own record label (and fanzine) led to artist releases, remixes and a
string of legendary London clubs such as Blood Sugar, Circulation and of course Sabresonic (where
the fledgling David Holmes cut his teeth). It was through Primal Scream though that Andrew first
made his name. As the producer of Screamadelica he took The Primals, twisted them (best not to ask
how) and in turn created the hybrid of narcotically-challenged rock and acid house now seen as a
generation-defining release.

Over the years Andrew has been involved in many different artist projects including Sabres of Paradise, Two Lone Swordsman, Andrew & The Boardmen to name but a few. All the while Andrew has been maintaining his output through various alternative projects. In between DJing all over the world, with residencies at Fabric (London), Back to Basics (Leeds), and Robert Johnson (Frankfurt), he also finds time to run the monthly A Love From Outer Space night at The Drop in London, which has been so successful it now travels around Europe the festival circuit and clubs worldwide.

Ministry of Sound is exceptionally excited to have Andrew on board for the next instalment of Masterpiece containing unreleased material, remixes and a DJ mix based on his A Love From Outer Space concept. This unique collection will be across 3CD’s and limited triple unmixed LP vinyl for those collectors out there.

Ministry of Sound presents Louder! 2012. 28 full tracks and two mixes from the world’s biggest artists and producers.

This is the Definitive Heavyweight Hip Hop Album!!

Those venturing through EDM’s wilder, lesser-charted lands this month, prepare to make a pit stop at Marcel Woods’ new audio enterprise. Those of an imaginative disposition will find themselves well accommodated! On ‘Open All Hours’ he connects the missing musical link between artist longplayer and remix album.

His latest album opens for business with the Woodsman chopping some new remix Treatments for a selection of his own floor-slams. Right out of the gate Marcel hits ‘3Stortion’ with a major adrenaline shot, re-firing it with a rocking new sonic-chassis and applying plenty of phase and delay to its mainline. ‘Everything’s stream of vocal consciousness meanwhile receives an beefy re-rub, courtesy of its hyper-catchy bleeping riff-line, while ‘Lemon Tree’ is boosted with a triple broadside of pianos, 303s and synthesizers.

Marcel straps 2003’s ‘Time Is Running Out’ to the gurney and trollies it into remix-rehab too. Recalibrated to 2012 levels, with a lean, stripped-down/jacked-up electro-house engine, it’s ready to be discovered by a new club generation. Back in the here-and-now, ‘Black Angus’ - Woods’s new single - puts in a grandstanding appearance. Power-packed with crisp percussion, house-baiting synth stabs, big hoover FX and its “killer” vocal shouts, the 100th release on his Musical Madness label is pure, distilled, 100% proof Marcel.

So far, so Woods’, right? Well now Marcel’s ushered you into this musical motel, it’s time to get familiar with the rest of the staff and guests. Dub Tech records star Chris Schweizer has re-spun ‘Accelerate’ into a prog-trance club-buster, with the Argentinian starting out all deep and moody before un-caging the hard drums and forceful synths.

Happy to pour you up a drink or several in the motel’s saloon are Bassjackers’ Marlon Flohr and Ralph van Hilst, who’ve spiked ‘Inside Me’ with a colossal cyclonic mainline synth and maxed the impact of its vox for good measure. Also in town for this sound convention is Sweden’s Jonas Stenberg, who’s applied a striking strident heart to ‘Cherry Blossom’ and Ken Loi who brings a searing no-nonsense Hard Style structure to ‘The Bottle’.

Being ‘Open All Hours’ takes teamwork and there’s no shortage of that happening here. On ‘Scream’ Marcel gets studio-side with Marco V for the first time to create a dancefloor wrecking ball that’ll put a hole in the side of many a club. Following ‘Don’t Ditch’, their first collaboration together (which is also included on ‘Open All Hours’), motel handyman Tiësto has completed a major rebuild of ‘Advanced’. Toughening its floor stance and extending the range of Marcel’s breakthrough track further still, he cranks the track up with ferocious beats, some wild super-discordance and zooming synth pitch modulations.

The Motel opens for business on Jan 27th (one week before the UK album launch party at Ministry of Sound) and is very much… Open All Hours!

A warm and welcomed return for one of Hed Kandi’s most iconic releases, Winter Chill, re-introduced after nearly a seven year pause. Winter Chill has been defrosting, whilst waiting patiently in the wings, for an opportunity to return and simply amaze! Last year’s hedonistic rays have long been lost to winter and with the party season temporarily dwindling into hibernation, what better way to celebrate the brighter days of summer to come.

This release is an oh-so soothing handpicked selection of the finest slow-grooving and laid-back beats set across two unmixed CDs carefully chosen for the ultimate after hours set. In true Kandi style, we have kept an uplifting and sunny feel to the album reminding us of brighter sunny days to come.

We have included some of the hottest artists and A-list producers currently on Hed Kandi’s radar as we launch into 2012, and this year’s edition features the likes of Mark Ronson & The Business International, Switch, Data MC, Cassius, Aeroplane, Tensnake, The Magician, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Mario Basanov and more.

This mulled wine infusion of the finest Hed Kandi ingredients will leave you totally chilled, yet perfectly warm! x
