SLY DOG RUM, FAMOUS WHEN DEAD RECORDS, AND GINGER WINGS ANNOUNCE SOCCER SHIRT WITH CULT BRAND MEYBA

To celebrate a summer of creativity, Sly Dog premium Caribbean Rum, Jack Blumenthal’s iconic fried chicken brand Ginger Wings, UK house DJ CASH ONLY, and his label Famous When Dead Records, announce a new collaborative soccer shirt. 

Launching this Friday, 5th September, at the UK’s largest food and music festival tour, Pub in the Park in St Albans, Hertfordshire, the anticipated summer fashion piece is produced by MEYBA, the iconic Spanish sportswear brand famous for outfitting the FC Barcelona Dream Team in the 1980s. Once again, MEYBA has fused high-quality apparel with its rich heritage and modern fashion trends.

Jonathan Jones, Global Head of Marketing at MEYBA, comments: 

"At MEYBA, we only team up with the best, and this shirt proves why. It’s football heritage with a kick of nightlife, flavour and attitude – a jersey made to be worn loud, long after the final whistle."

Bringing together the three brands that merged fuel, fire, and frequency over the summer, the shirt celebrates their partnership, which has included collaborations on a cocktail can, the infusion of Sly Dog flavours into dishes curated by Jack Blumenthal on his Ginger Wings menu, and, of course, the partnership’s Wing Raves across the UK at various events.

The shirt will be launched this weekend, on 5th September, at the end-of-summer Pub in the Park event in St Albans, and will be available online from Monday, 8th September, via the official online stores of Sly Dog, Famous When Dead Records, and MEYBA. To further celebrate the collaboration, a final party will be unveiled in the coming weeks at a central London location.

 

On sale: Monday 8th September, 2025

SUPERCLUB TO STUDENT DIGS: MINISTRY OF SOUND ANNOUNCES HOUSE PARTY TOUR WITH LAB54

THE TOUR WILL SEE THE LONDON CLUB TAKING OVER 6 STUDENT HOUSES ACROSS SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER

This September, Ministry of Sound, in collaboration with pop-up specialists Lab54 and joined by iconic fashion brand Von Dutch, is stepping out of the club and into student living rooms with a first-of-its-kind Fresher’s House Party Tour. For one month, the South London club will swap its renowned dancefloor for kitchens, gardens, and lounges across the UK, bringing the decks, dance music, and three decades of club culture straight to the heart of student nightlife. 

Club culture is always shifting; today’s students discover music, connect with artists, and build communities in new ways. This tour is a chance for us to break out of our own four walls and bring that Ministry energy directly to the next generation of ravers. Many of our team and resident DJs started their journeys in student houses just like these, and we know how formative those first parties can be. We want to be part of that story.” - Matt Long, Club Director at Ministry of Sound.


To bring the concept to life, Ministry of Sound is joined by Lab54, the team behind April’s infamous ‘Ministry break-in’ stunt that transformed the girls’ bathroom into an illegal rave. This autumn, they’ll bring the same energy to student houses in Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Leeds and Newcastle, with performances from Ministry artists New Era, Skepsis, Disruptor, with more to be announced.


Lab54 has made a name for itself by throwing the most outrageous parties in anywhere but a club. We have continuously brought people together, especially students, through our pledge to make our parties inclusive to every member of the community. This tour is about tapping into this energy to create nights that are actually remembered for years to come." - Audrey Stiffle, Head of Partnerships.

Joining the party is Von Dutch, the reborn noughties label that recently launched its music-focused fashion sub-brand, Von Dutch Loves. Already making waves as one of the industry’s most exciting new players, the music-meets-fashion arm made its mark this summer with a debut collaboration alongside Brazilian powerhouse Vintage Culture, before going further by giving 20 rising DJs the chance to perform on its own stage at Brunch Electronik Festival, positioning itself as a future scene-shaper.

That spirit of pushing culture forward is shared by Ministry of Sound Records, whose legacy has evolved beyond being a London tastemaker. Its DIY origins are rooted in the rebellious heart of dance music, its club has hosted dancers from all over the world for over three decades, and its label continues to shape the sounds of today, having nurtured some of music’s most notable names, including Eric Prydz, London Grammar, Eats Everything, Duck Sauce and Dom Dolla.

This tour signals the next step for Ministry, bringing its sound beyond the club and into the homes of a new generation of ravers.

MOGA ESSAOUIRA COMPLETES FULL LINEUP FOR SIXTH EDITION IN MOROCCO

Website | Tickets | Facebook | Instagram

MOGA Essaouira, one of the world’s leading boutique festivals and late summer getaways, completes its eclectic line up for 2025 edition

with new additions all adding extra depth and breadth to an already cultured line up. They include techno innovator Dorian Craft, Spanish house star Enzo Leep, Carpets and Snares label and record store boss Jorge Caiado, inventive tech house titan Luca Saporito (Audiofly), Items & Things’s dark minimal and disco queen Magda, Scorpios Mykonos and Bodrum resident Rita Soko and many more, with over 70 artists confirmed to perform at the festival. These latest names are in addition to the likes of the already revealed Apollonia, Bonobo, Cabanne, DJ Tennis, Folamour, Janeret, Patrick Mason, Saiorse and many more.


MOGA Festival is the ultimate destination festival for music lovers and cultural explorers alike. Set against the stunning backdrop of Essaouira, one of Morocco’s most underrated coastal gems, MOGA offers far more than just music - it is a full spectrum of experiences for all of the senses. Think golden beaches, Atlantic ocean breezes and sun-drenched afternoons that stretch deep into hedonistic nights which mean this boutique gathering allows you to extend your summer in style. The vibrant local culture of Essaouira is blended with a finely curated, eclectic soundtrack of house, electronic, Afro and global grooves so whether you're dancing in the medina, soaking up sunset sessions by the sea, or connecting with the global MOGA tribe, this is a journey for mind, body and soul. 

The new additions have in part been curated by house music connoisseurs Deeproot, Bedouin Saga and Life & Death and bring even more depth to the lineup, favouring the underground with a focus on musical storytelling and organic grooves. These artists will soundtrack a truly unique experience across four distinct stages: Main, Garden, Wild, and Terrace, with each offering a different sonic journey beneath Essaouira’s sun and stars.

Running for five days, MOGA kicks off with its beloved OFF program on October 1–2 which has an array of free daytime activities, intimate parties and cultural activities scattered throughout the city’s historic medina. From October 3–5, the action shifts to Hôtel le Golf d’Essaouira & Spa, where the IN program takes over with full production, over 70 artists, two pools, four immersive stages and a palm-lined oasis perfect for dancing, connection and exploration.

Inspired by its surroundings, MOGA combines global electronic music with local rhythms, celebrating Essaouira’s rich Gnawa heritage and Atlantic soul. Like its sister edition in Caparica, Portugal, MOGA Essaouira also includes a holistic program of wellness sessions, creative workshops, culinary pop-ups, and artistic installations and is expected to welcome 16,000 attendees from around the world.
