Juno Download has closed after 20 years, and in this video I break down what happened and where DJs should buy their music now. One of the original DJ download stores switched off without warning on 1 June 2026, and I give you my take on why it faded, plus the alternatives actually worth your time.
I've bought plenty from Juno over the years, so this one stings a little. But it was always a niche store, and I think it went the way these things usually go. More importantly, I walk you through what to do next: how to rescue the music you've already paid for, why Beatport is the safe default despite its flaws, why Volumo is the rising star worth a look, and why Bandcamp might be the best habit you pick up all year.
