After taking their pop-up record shop to New York this summer, Jamie xx and Young Turks have opened a London branch.

Good Times Store London opened yesterday at 73 Kingsland Road, offering selections from Jamie xx’s local favourite Kristina Records, a bunch of the records he sampled for his Mercury Prize-nominated album In Colour, some of his own releases (including signed copies) and “other assorted gems”, the producer explained on Instagram.

A series of radio shows will be recorded live at the store to be broadcast all week on NTS, with Mica Levi, Oneman and Benji B among the guest hosts.

The shop is open 12-8pm until next Thursday, October 22, and 12-6pm next Friday, October 23.

NTS Radio broadcasts:

Saturday 17th – 6-8pm – Mack + Friends
Sunday 18th – 6-8pm – Mica Levi
Monday 19th – 6-8pm – Melon Magic w/Powell
Tuesday 20th – 6-8pm – Sampha & Lil Silva

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.
