- Opened in 2005, the popular store existed in two locations.
Smallville Records has shut its Hamburg shop but the label will continue.
Smallville cofounder Julius Steinhoff confirmed the news via Facebook last week, saying that both of the store's locations—Hein-Hoyer-Strasse (2005-2017) and Neuer Kamp (2017-2021)—"will remain in my heart forever." He added that new owners are opening a record shop on the Neuer Kamp site.
Steinhoff also said that the label will continue with help from new addition Stefan Marx. The next release, due on December 3rd, is a Move D EP called Inside The Freero Dome.
"We are ready to move things forward together and bring you new surprises," Steinhoff wrote. "Like the first album on [Smallville sub-label] Fuck Reality, another Smallville album, new soft goods and maybe, even, the lost Smallville 50 could be in sight..."
Finally, Steinhoff said that Smallpeople, his production project with Just von Ahlefeld, is ending after 12 years. They, he wrote, "are now taking two different paths."
