The team refers to the impact of Brexit and COVID-19
Dorset-based vinyl distributor and record store Unearthed Sounds has announced that it will be closing at the end of this month.
The company, which specializes in dance music, cited a number of contributing factors for its closure, including the impact of Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the cost of living crisis.
In a statement posted to social media, Unearthed Sounds said that the decision to close was “not made lightly” but that it was “the only viable option” given the current financial climate. The company said that it would continue to operate as normal until 31st July 2023, at which point all orders would be fulfilled.
