It’s been another busy week at Juno HQ, with a flood of new releases hitting the shelves.
Over at Juno Download, the exclusive deep house compilation starring Motor City Drum Ensemble arrived right on cue, while Hot Toddy’s slow burning disco gem “I Need Love” hit number one in the singles chart, closely followed by the West Coast EP by the Lovebirds and the mysterious Gucci Vump’s Sha! Shtil! EP. John Digweed’s Bedrock 11 compilation was top of the digital albums list, and Daniel Wang’s superb Balihu retrospective stayed in the top ten for a sixth consecutive week.
Meanwhile at Juno Records the Ilija Rudman Casual Joys 12″ was being snapped up by the disco heads (check out the Mark E remix), as well as the Neurotic Drum Band’s EP on Wurst.
There are brand new 12″ DJ charts from DJ T and Pilooski, while Diplo and Luciano have posted their digital charts for October. There’s also a new minimal podcast, plus a whole load of recommendations from the Juno music experts.
Finally, a little treat for the vinyl lovers – we have up to 75 per cent off over 10,000 7”s, 12”s and LPs in our autumn vinyl sale. Get in there quick because once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Happy hunting,
Juno/Juno Download

Sónar – one of the world’s leading electronic music festivals – will branch out from its Barcelona home next year.
The 2010 festival will be take place simultaneously in Barcelona and A Coruña, the first time in its history that it has been held in two locations.
The A Coruña event, dubbed Sónar Galicia, will have a Sónar by Day with a music line-up, and a multimedia and audiovisual area with a special emphasis on Galician artists. The Sónar by Night stages will feature the latest leading lights in electronica.
The image of Sónar 2010 – to be held June 17-19 – will be “a journey to the end of the world along the Way of St. James”.
The image is associated with Galicia and takes the form of a full-length film. The film is entitled ‘Finisterre’, and includes six chapters and an epilogue. It looks at the introspective journey undertaken by two ghosts who during Sónar 2009 decided to travel along the Way of Saint James to the end of the world. Once they arrive, they begin a fleeting new period on earth.
