A long-standing pillar of digital music retail for DJs and electronic music fans has officially come to an end, with Juno Download confirming it has shut down with immediate effect.
As of Monday, June 1, visitors to the platform are now met with a farewell message announcing the closure of the service. In its statement, the company reflected on its history supporting artists and labels across the electronic music landscape, while acknowledging the changing direction of music consumption. Users are still able to access previously purchased downloads through their accounts, but new purchases are no longer available.
Juno Download’s Chief Operating Officer Lucas Garcia also addressed the closure, pointing to the broader shift in the industry as streaming continues to dominate how audiences engage with music. He noted that artists are increasingly connecting directly with listeners through platforms such as social media and Bandcamp, reducing the role traditional download stores once played in the ecosystem. 
Established in 2006, Juno Download became a key digital destination for DJs seeking electronic music releases across house, techno, drum & bass, and beyond, particularly during the peak era of MP3 purchasing. While its download service has now closed, its sister platform Juno Records remains operational following its separation from the download store in 2013.
The shutdown comes amid continued transformation in the digital music economy. According to the Entertainment Retailers Association, UK consumers spent over £2 billion on streaming services in 2025 alone, highlighting the continued decline of traditional download-based models. The closure also follows recent uncertainty across other digital platforms, including Nina Protocol, which recently began slowing down operations after struggling to establish a sustainable revenue model.
