You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ministry of Sound Australia''' is the Australian subsidiary label of [[Ministry of Sound|Ministry of Sound Recordings Ltd]], currently operating out of the offices of [[Sony Music Australia|Sony Music Entertainment Australia]].

In its previous separate incarnation known as '''Ministry of Sound (UK) Pty Ltd''' and then '''Ministry of Sound Australia Pty Ltd''', it was Australia's largest dance music label as well as one of Australia's largest independent labels overall, being spun off into a separate independent company with exclusive licence to the Ministry of [[Sound trademark]]s in Australia & New Zealand in 2004. In 2016, after the announcement that the Ministry of Sound Group had sold [[Ministry of Sound]] Recordings to [[Sony Music Entertainment UK]], Ministry of Sound Australia Managing Director Tim McGee announced that as a result the Australian operations would be forced to rebrand as '''TMRW Music Group''', with all Ministry of Sound recordings-related IP in Australia to be handled by Sony Music Entertainment Australia as of July 2017. TMRW Music Group retains the licence for all Ministry of Sound-branded music events and touring, including operating Ministry of Sound's Australian nightclub based in Sydney on behalf of Ministry of Sound Group.

MoSA also owns Central Station Records, rescuing it from financial collapse in 2009. Ministry of Sound Australia also runs its own sub-labels which have signed many popular artists from Australia and overseas over the years and have been instrumental in helping launch the successful careers of Australian House DJ/Producers e.g. [[Tommy Trash]], [[Hook N Sling]], [[Stafford Brothers]], [[The Aston Shuffle]] & [[Tonite Only]].

Every MoSA compilation released since 2001 have held No.1 chart positions on the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA]] compilation, club and dance charts.<ref name=":0">((cite web|url=http://www.aria.com.au/pages/aria-charts-end-of-year-charts.htm |title=Australian Record Industry Association |website=Aria.com.au |access-date=2014-07-13))</ref>

From 1999 to 2007 Ministry of Sound Australia CDs were distributed by [[EMI]] Music Group Australia. From 2008 onwards Ministry of Sound Australia is distributed by Universal Music Australia.

Notable DJs who have mixed MoSA compilations over the years include Tall Paul, Oski, Hydraulix, [[Groove Terminator]], [[Mark Dynamix]], [[Hook N Sling]], [[Kid Kenobi]], John Course, [[Axwell]], Goodwill, Sean Quinn, DJ Brendon, [[The Aston Shuffle]], MYNC, [[Steve Aoki]], [[Stafford Brothers]], [[Tommy Trash]] and [[The Bloody Beetroots]].

On 19 June 2017 MoSA announced that it would rebrand itself as TMRW Music. All future Ministry of Sound compilations will be released through Sony Music, while TMRW will continue to distribute its Hussle, Downright and Astrx sublabels. The company's touring and events businesses, Ministry of Sound Club and other MoS-branded events and tours will not be rebranded.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://theindustryobserver.thebrag.com/ministry-sound-australias-recordings-rebranded-tmrw-music/|title=Ministry of Sound Australia's Recordings rebranded as TMRW Music|website=Theindustryobserver.thebrag.com|date=20 June 2017))</ref>

==History==
Ministry of Sound's presence has been felt in Australia since 1995 when MDS, a subsidiary of Festival Mushroom Records released Dance Nation. MDS released Parts 2 and 3 in 1996 and 1997 respectively and all were direct copies of the UK releases, as well as Sessions.

Ministry of Sound UK had been doing tours in Australia previous to Ministry of Sound Australia's establishment in late 1999, conducting national tours in 1997 and 1998. Both events coincided with Australian albums ''Ministry of Sound: Australian Tour '97'' and ''Ministry of Sound: Australian Tour '98'' which were sold and released by Festival Mushroom Records. The popularity of these tours and the CDs prompted Ministry of Sound UK to establish itself in Australia in 1999 and released its first compilation, ''Clubber's Guide to... Australia''.

Ministry of Sound Australia was founded in 1999 by Sydney DJ Tim McGee and executives from Ministry of Sound UK, while McGee was an employee of Central Station Records. Ministry of Sound Australia was then known as Ministry of Sound (UK) Pty Ltd and ran the basic operations of the Australian subsidiary as well as Tim McGee's Hussle Recordings which he incorporated into Ministry of Sound (UK) at its founding and began a distribution agreement with [[EMI]].

In 2000, Ministry of Sound Australia produced its first compilation Album: ''Club Nation 2000'', which was mixed by [[Mark Dynamix]] and [[Groove Terminator]]. ''Clubber's Guide to... Australia'' and ''The Summer Annual - Summer 2000'' were produced by Ministry UK for MoSA and mixed by Australian DJs except for Tall Paul. In late 2000, Tim McGee left Central Station to head up Ministry of Sound Australia full-time.

On 2 March 2009, Ministry of Sound Australia announced that it had acquired Central Station Records, Australia's oldest dance label after facing bankruptcy and liquidation due to the global financial crisis.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.ministryofsound.com.au/news/2009/3/2/mos-and-central-station-records/ |title=MoS and Central Station Records &#124; Ministry of Sound Australia |publisher=Ministryofsound.com.au |access-date=2013-03-03))</ref> Under this arrangement, Ministry of Sound Australia will have ownership over the label, MoSA's distributor Universal Music Australia will manage artist single and album projects and Central Station Records will handle the compilations, marketing, promotions and tours.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust/41798/Central_Station_rises_from_the_ashes|title=Central Station rises from the ashes|publisher=Inthemix.com.au|access-date=2013-03-03|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090316090023/http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust/41798/Central_Station_rises_from_the_ashes|archive-date=16 March 2009))</ref>

In 2011, Ministry of Sound Australia celebrated 10&nbsp;years of ''The Annual'' in Australia and released "The Annual: 10&nbsp;Years" which was mixed by John Course and [[Mark Dynamix]].

==Albums==
Ministry of Sound Australia releases its own compilations and singles, most of which are mixed by prolific DJs from Australia and occasionally overseas although rarely release compilations mixed in-house e.g. Anthems. Ministry of Sound Australia through its labels release albums and singles from international artists e.g. [[The Bloody Beetroots]], [[Example (musician)|Example]], [[Timmy Trumpet]], [[Will Sparks]], [[Chardy]], [[New World Sound]], Scndl, [[Reece Low]], [[Raven & Kreyn]], [[Uberjak'd]] and [[Axwell]]. MoSA has moved away from selling singles physically and prefer to release them via iTunes's Australian store and artists signed to MoSA also have their tracks released via [[Beatport]] although albums released by MoSA are still sold physically.
