Juno Records is a UK-basedonlinedance music retailer, sellingvinyl records,CDs and music accessories, founded by Richard Atherton and Sharon Boyd. The website was created in 1996 as an information-only site calledThe Dance Music Resource Pages, listing new dance music titles each day as they were released. In 1997 the site changed into an online storeJuno Records, allowing users to buy the records and CDs listed.[1]During thee-commerce boom of the late 1990s, the site differentiated itself from other dance music stores by maintaining a text-based presentation.
In December 2004, version 2 of Juno Records’ web site was launched, adding graphics, and more flexible navigation to the original site design.
In February 2006, Juno Records addedMP3 andWAV downloads to its catalogue, and in July 2006 launchedJuno Download as a standalone site. In the same year, the web site also won Best Entertainment site in the Website Of The Year awards.[2] In September 2006, a Spanish-language version of the web site was added.
In 2007 a series of 10 releases were commissioned[3] to mark Juno Records' 10th anniversary, each featuring a well-known dance track remixed by new producers, including remixes ofFaze Action byCarl Craig andCybotron’s "Clear" by Troy Pierce andCobblestone Jazz.
