Ministry of Sound Radio launches Vista gadget

Ministry of Sound Radio have launched a ‘gadget’ for Microsoft Windows Vista. The MoS Radio Gadget sits on users desktops and offers direct one-click access to the very best in dance music from across the globe. The 60 million Vista computer users will now be able to access Ministry of Sound Radio’s world class line-up of DJs who provide the soundtrack for over 100,000 clubbers every month and represent all the different genres of dance.
The Vista Sidebar gadget allows users to easily listen to any of the 13 daily shows from the live stream, or select and skip through the On Demand channels where users can pick exactly what they want to hear, when they want to hear it. The On Demand channels give direct access to the best shows and mixes by genre, including ‘Chill Out’ and the underground ‘Sessions’ mixes, plus a full weekly archive of all the station’s specialist shows. Listeners can pause and skip forwards and backwards at their leisure.
Chris Bailey, Head of Radio at Ministry of Sound comments on the launch of the desktop gadget, “Ministry of Sound Radio is in a truly unique position with access to the best dance music and DJs in the world. For anyone with an interest in dance music, from those with a passing curiosity to a complete music obsessive who lives eats and breathes it, the Ministry of Sound Radio Vista Sidebar Gadget offers something for everyone from the comfort of their computer desktop, whether at home or at work.”
The daytime playlist for Ministry of Sound Radio is unique; a careful balance of the current big floor-filling tracks in dance music, combined with brand new tunes that deserve to be played. Chris continues, “We also feature key dance classics from across the years throughout the day combined with new music, which steps up in the afternoon easing the transition into the evening specialist DJ shows from global headliners such as Jazzy M, Lottie, Allistair Whitehead, Guy Ornadel and Ashley Beedle”.
Chris adds, “While Ministry of Sound is a massively aspirational brand, the radio is created to make it relatable and personal to every listener, wherever they are in the world. No other UK online station can offer the content the station can. The station is constantly striving to discover and play the most exciting new music, support new artists and break fresh acts and DJs.”
To celebrate the launch of the gadget, Ministry of Sound Radio will broadcast a 3-hour live show direct from the world famous London studios on Thursday 6th September 2007, between 1pm and 4pm, with a competition to win a Ministry of Sound Car Sound System, which includes a head unit and speakers. The show will target people in the workplace, and give them the opportunity to call into the station or email their all time favourite dance tracks.
