— A TESTAMENT TO THE LEGEND OF 90S & 00S CLUB CULTURE —

Clubbing has always provided the antithesis to the normal, expected & mundane. A place to escape, connect and enter an alternate reality - tucked away safely in dimly lit, often secretive locations around the country. 

From Australia’s acid house infancy to the many reinventions of rave through the 90s and the peak of 00s nightlife, late night communities were formed on the dancefloor. Lifelong friendships cemented over deep 4am conversations, soundtracked by pure euphoria.

This unmatched era of nightlife has become a mythical moment in time, preserved only in patchy memories and faded photographs. 

TESTAMENT pays tribute to the sounds and the people of this club generation, and the vibrant late-night cities and cultures across the country which they cultivated.

Returning for another sell-out national tour, Ministry of Sound will be showcasing an iconic lineup of global legends, whose influence is woven into the fabric of modern club life. Celebrating the sweaty hedonistic 00s dancefloors on Friday 6th September 8pm-3am at Studio The Venue in Auckland; with Dutch heavyweight Laidback Luke (NL), big room house maestro Mousse T. (GER), and English electronic dance music duo X-Press 2 (UK) taking the helm.

Adding to the lineup are a huge suite of local talent PLUS Ministry of Sound's Australian legends, including Dirty South who between them compiled and mixed album titles which went on to sell millions of copies through the decades across The Annual, Sessions, Clubbers Guide and more.

LINEUP:

Laidback Luke | Mousse T. | X-Press 2
General Lee | Miss Doodes| Sam Hill
