Unofficial news is filtering through stating that Goya Distribution is closing. This comes just one week after the closure of Amato. One industry insider has confirmed the news to be true but no official statement has yet been released, so let’s wait and see.

Goya Distribution a niche player in the UK distribution scene was perhaps best known for championing the West London broken-beat scene with artists and labels such as Bugz In The Attic, Afronaught, Bitasweet, 2000 Black, Mainsqueeze and many other hugely respected names in that scene.

Having never embraced the digital market fully it could be that Goya have been hit by the increasing slide in physical sales possibly coupled with the ebb and flow in the popularity of the niche genres that they championed. Thoughts go out to anyone affected by the closure. More updates here on Bytesize Music as and when we get them.
