Dark Alley Distribution Signs Dutch Studio Staxus

NEW YORK—Gay porn distributor Dark Alley Distribution, a division of Dark Alley Media, has signed Dutch studio Staxus to an exclusive North American distribution deal. Staxus is the parent company of gay adult DVD lines Raw, Bare and Sauvage.

“We are very excited to be working together so closely in the coming years,” said Dark Alley President Owen Hawk. “Staxus produces a well known and high-quality product that is complimentary to our own lines. With the addition of this deal, we now have a wide range of excellent products across the hardcore, bareback and twink markets.”

The deal represents a reciprocal arrangement of sorts. In August, Staxus Sales signed a similar agreement to represent Dark Alley’s Raw Fuck Club, Raw Riders, Forbidden Funk and self-titled lines in continental Europe.

The first two releases under the North American contract, Bareback Piss Factory and Raw Speed, are in stock and shipping, Hawk said. The next Staxus title, First Timers, is expected to be available Dec. 11. Beginning in January, Dark Alley will release three new Staxus titles, according to Hawk.

“Staxus is very happy to be working with Dark Alley,” said Steven Thompson, chief executive officer for the European studio. “The growth of [Dark Alley] since they opened in 2005 has been very impressive, and they have a solid product base of their own and a great team in place. We look forward to a very successful working relationship.”
