Ministry Of Sound has signed an exclusive recording deal with LF System.
The first release will be Dancing Shoes (Take Me Higher), which has just dropped today (May 15). The track from the dance duo premiered on BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds tonight as the Hottest Record In The World.
The signing to Ministry Of Sound follows A&R exec Anton Powers’ move to the label. He oversaw LF System’s breakthrough at Warner Records.

The single has already exceeded 270 million streams and has been certified double platinum in the UK, as well as triple platinum in Ireland, platinum in the Netherlands, gold in Belgium and gold in Australia.
Afraid To Feel also won Dance Track Of The Year at the BBC Radio 1 Dance Awards, and was nominated for Song Of The Year at the 2023 BRIT Awards.
LF System have a series of new releases lined up this year, as well as festival slots at Glastonbury, TRNSMT, Ushuaia Ibiza with Calvin Harris, Parklife, Reading & Leeds and Exit.
