If 2022 was the first year that UK clubland felt fully open again after the pandemic, the joy and release felt at coming back together in dance was reflected in uplifting tracks that filled floors and scaled the pop charts. As ever, Ministry of Sound’s The Annual is an essential digest of what’s happening in clubland and, here, it’s shaped into an immersive mix by house legend Marshall Jefferson. His set brings together huge hits from the likes of LF SYSTEM and Eliza Rose with the sounds of a new, inventive generation of DJs and producers, including piri & tommy and Bad Boy Chiller Crew. “I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to put my spin on the iconic Ministry of Sound Annual 2023,” he tells Apple Music.
