[Justin Berkmann](https://soundcloud.com/justin-berkmann) began his DJing career after being schooled in the Family Funktion & Shake’n’Fingerpop warehouse parties in mid eighties London, and found his true calling to play House Music as loud as possible after discovering Paradise Garage during his move to New York in 1986.
Throughout the years, Justin has chalked up an impressive list of accomplishments, such as the formation the DJ Group “Sensible House” (which later became Residents with Hedonism) together with Jimmy B, Terry Bristol & Matty Heilbronn before going on to play House and Club circuits. Soon after Justin also went on to become Resident at Home at Rutherford House (14th&2nd) and “Brutal” at The World (1st&1st) playing Acid House alongside the likes of Hip Hop giants Afrika Bambaataa, Spoonie Gee and co Resident the Duke of Denmark.
After the closing of Paradise Garade, Justin met in 1989 the old Etonian entrepreneurs James Palumbo and Humphrey Waterhouse, who provided him the oppurtunity to build his dream Paradise Garage-type club in London. After two years of misery, hard work, sleepless nights and immense stress, Ministry of Sound opened its doors in September of 1991, where Justin was responsible for the club’s name and design concept as Artistic Director. He also impressively managed to tempt out of retirement legends like Larry Levan and Francois Kevorkian, pioneering the importing of foreign DJs on a weekly basis and was himself resident DJ. He was fortunate enough to share the console with most of the greats, also touring for over a year with coresidents Tony Humphries, CJ Mackintosh and Sasha.
In 2005, Justin headed to Singapore to open Ministry of Sound, and this July he’ll be returning to Club Kyo to dish out the finest beats just for you – so this is one night not to miss!
The event will take place on 10 July from 9pm onwards at club kyo.
