Chino VV Returns to London for Sam Divine’s 555 at Ministry of Sound
There are some venues that live beyond bricks and mortar.
Places that become part of dance music history. Places that shape culture, sound and identity across generations. For house music lovers across the world, few spaces carry that weight quite like Ministry of Sound.
On 30 May 2026, Vinyl Vandals’ own Chino VV joins an exceptional line-up at Sam Divine’s 555 event in London, stepping into one of the most iconic clubs in global dance music culture.
Led by Sam Divine, 555 has become more than a party. It represents connection, energy and the unifying spirit of house music — bringing together selectors, dancers and music lovers from across scenes, generations and cities. With 3 rooms, 12 DJs and one shared energy throughout the club, the night promises to capture the essence of what underground dance music has always been about.
“Stepping back into Ministry of Sound on 30 May alongside Sam Divine and the 555 family. From the early days of learning the craft to now sharing a lineup in London Town, in one of the most iconic spaces in dance music, this one means something.”

Known for his soulful, deep and underground house selections, blended with touches of UK Garage and vinyl-rooted culture, Chino VV’s sound has always reflected authenticity over hype. His journey through Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, London and now Doha has remained connected to the deeper roots of dance music culture — where storytelling, rhythm and community matter more than trends.
Taking over The Loft from 00:00–01:00, Chino VV steps into one of Ministry of Sound’s most intimate and musically-driven spaces — a room built for selectors who understand tension, groove and connection beyond the mainstream dancefloor. Expect a late-night journey through deep rhythms, soulful textures, underground house and flashes of UK Garage energy designed for those who truly know.
As Chino explains:
“Expect a journey through deep, soulful, underground house with a sprinkle of Garage. No shortcuts. Just music, energy, and connection with some sick selectors.”
The event also represents another important moment for the wider Vinyl Vandals movement, continuing to bridge scenes between the UK and the Middle East through music, fashion, art and underground culture.
Chino also shared appreciation for the people and relationships that helped shape the journey:
“Big shout out to Sam Divine and the team for welcoming me & the Vinyl Vandals family to celebrate something special in London town, also big up Professor X and Cash Only for the legends who they are, our ties go way back, big celebrations pending in London and hopefully in Croatia this summer.
”
Founded in 1991 by Justin Berkmann, Ministry of Sound was inspired by the legendary Paradise Garage in New York and built around a vision of world-class sound, inclusivity and dancefloor unity. That philosophy continues today, with the club remaining one of the most respected institutions in global electronic music culture. Its commitment to underground scenes, emerging talent and community-driven experiences has helped it remain culturally relevant for more than three decades.
For Vinyl Vandals, this is more than another booking.
It is a reminder that authentic journeys still matter. Those years spent digging for records, building communities, respecting the craft and staying true to the music can still lead back to legendary dancefloors.
London. Ministry of Sound. 555.
