Electronic digital music retailer Juno Download has announced its closure with immediate effect.
Juno Download first launched in 2006 as a digital offshoot of Juno Records, Juno's vinyl-focused storefront, which still remains. It served as a resource for DJs and fans of electronic genres, including house, techno, drum & bass, and UK garage, to buy files for electronic music records.
As of yesterday (1 June), the website was replaced by a message that reads: "It's been our privilege to share some of the most incredible music from the most amazing artists, but we're sorry to say, that the time has come to say goodbye."
The statement signposts other digital streaming platforms and directs users on how to access existing orders, continuing: "There's still plenty of great music available from Traxsource, Beatport, Mixupload and Volumo, but for now, this is Juno Download signing off. You can download previous orders from your account, and if you need to get in touch, please send us a message, and we will help out however we can."
