Proxy and more, states a return is in order that marks “a new era” for the brand.
Following a year that saw original cofounder and disgraced human being
Billy Kenny accused of rape and sexual assault, the label gutted much of Kenny’s discography from their catalogue and began to slow down business to grinding halt. This Ain’t Bristol eventually released a statement addressing their indefinite cease of operations and enlightened their audience with the reality that most if not all of their catalogue would be disappearing due to legal/contractual issues.
One year later and it looks like This Ain’t Bristol is ready for a comeback with newfound determination. Their post from last month details a general idea of what their leadership will consist of moving forward.

This May, anti-piracy company AudioLock and music distributor Label Worx, later joined by more than 800 supporters made up of labels and distributor platforms, announced a new campaign to crack down on pay-piracy sites that emulate legitimate music distribution platforms. The results of the first wave of action are now in with some interesting results.
Just over six months ago UK-based anti-piracy company AudioLock announced The Music Mission, a new campaign to disrupt the activities of around 200 pay-piracy sites focused on music.
Unlike torrent or streaming sites, in many cases these platforms seek to emulate specialist legal portals such as Beatport, Traxsource and Juno, by offering the same tracks in similar polished interfaces. As a result, these paysites represent a more direct threat, since instead of attracting pirates who won’t pay, they attract customers who will.
