Amongst those staring at the remains of their businesses this morning are PIAS distribution, after the Sony DADC warehouse in Enfield was set alight by rioters.
All of the PIAS stock, which includes independent labels Domino, Beggars Banquet and Warp, as well as the Rough Trade Record Shops was stored on the premises and has been destroyed by the fire, affecting releases by Adele, The Horrors, Seasick Steve and Two Door Cinema Club amongst many others. The three-story warehouse was also the base of Sony’s distribution.

PIAS have released the following statement:

"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 offices in London and all other areas of our business are unaffected. More information will be communicated shortly to all our labels and partners"
