Dozens of indie labels have had stock destroyed in a huge warehouse fire in Enfield, north London, during a third night of riots in the city. The warehouse, operated by Sony and used by distributor PIAS UK, was completely gutted with the loss of records and CDs by acts on labels including Domino, Rough Trade, Warp, XL/Beggars, Big Dada, Ninja Tune, Mute, FatCat, One Little Indian, Rock Action, Thrill Jockey and many, many more.
PIAS released the following statement this afternoon:
There was a fire last night at the SonyDADC warehouse which services the physical distribution for PIAS in the UK and Ireland. PIAS is working closely with SonyDADC who are implementing their emergency plans. PIAS’s UK + Ireland offices and all other areas of our business are unaffected.
