Goya comes to an end, a sad day for music lovers

Last week an era came to an end,Goya Music Distrubition ltd
filed for liquidation. Along with Amato Distribution, yet another great vinyl dance music distributor spanning a decade or more has folded in the last few weeks due to the ever declining sales of vinyl.

Goya Music, formed back in 1997 by Mike Slocombe and Spencer Weekes, distributed mainly Broken Beat, Future Soul, and House music. The Goya catalog included labels and releases such as their own People Records & Main Squeeze imprints, 2000Black, Bitasweet, Twisted funk & Omniverse, Dubsided, Eskimo Recordings, Oblong/Plank, Ubiquity,V2, BBE, and hundreds more other music and artists.

I at this point, still in shock by the sudden departure would just like to offer our condolence & gratitude to Mike, Spence, Nick & everyone else at Goya in recognition of all the great times & music we've enjoyed together over the last 10 years.

I am going to miss them & GM Headquarters but as they say ...

"Ain't no good at writing about us - sorry, the past is the past anyways......and the future ain't the same so...move on back to the music.."

Goya music - RIP 1997 - 2007
