Music has the power to unite, inspire and accompany us in memorable moments of our lives, or perhaps it is the music that makes them memorable. It is with great regret that we at Beatheim DJ Academy have to announce the closure of one of the pillars of the Berlin music scene: JustMusic.
The news has shaken the Berlin music community: JustMusic, a traditional, family-run company, will sadly close its doors for good. However, this closure means much more than the end of another retailer. We tell you the reasons behind this decision and the legacy he leaves behind.
The reasons for JustMusic’s closure
Despite efforts to stay afloat, JustMusic has faced significant challenges in the competitive world of music retailing. The growing presence of online giants has put constant pressure on prices, hampering the retailer’s ability to compete. The legend of David versus Goliath. In addition, shortages of skilled labour and other external factors, such as pandemic restrictions and inflation, have further complicated matters.
The closure of JustMusic, a difficult decision
JustMusic’s flagship shop in Kreuzberg will officially close its doors on 30 March 2024. The clearance sale will start on 19 February 2024 and will end on the closing day, 30 March 2024, exclusively in the Berlin shop at Moritzplatz. The company has taken the difficult decision to cease operations completely without resorting to insolvency proceedings.
The impact on the music community
The closure of JustMusic not only means the loss of a shop, but also of a meeting place for musicians and music enthusiasts. For years, JustMusic has been a landmark in Berlin’s music community, a place where tradition and culture mingled with a passion for music.
