Jamie xx and Young Turks have opened a pop-up record shop called Good Times Store, located at 73 Kingsland Road in East London. 

Similar to the New York branch that was open over summer, it will be filled with signed albums and some of Jamie xx's own releases. Good Times will also include vinyls from his favourite local record shop Kristina plus records he sampled for his Mercury Prize nominated album In Colour.

 

So my Good Times Store is properly open today. Find it at 73 Kingsland Road, London. I've picked a bunch of records to be sold, including a selection from one of my local favourite store Kristina, a bunch of the records I sampled for In Colour (bought off Discogs), some of my releases (a few signed) and other assorted gems. I've also curated a series of radio shows to be recorded live from the store and go out all week on NTS.
