As we all know, there just aren't enough dance music compilations out there, so good news yesterday that Ministry of Sound have acquired two of the popular dance compo series previously controlled by the now defunct Telstar. The Euphoria and Breakdown series - which between them have sold in excess of 4 million units worldwide - will now be handled by the Ministry team. Both titles are expected to have two releases each in the next 12 months - the first Ministry released Euphoria compilation will come out on 21 Jun.
Paul Williams, partner of Menzies Corporate Restructuring which is overseeing the winding up of Telstar told reporters yesterday: "We're confident that the sale of Euphoria and Breakdown to Ministry of Sound is a very positive move for these brands, as their new owner has an excellent track record of supporting and developing such brands".
