Hooray! Pure Groove are opening their new shop on the 2nd of June. They will then proceed to spend the rest of the month celebrating that fact. Again, hooray.
Those celebrations include live performances from the likes of HEALTH (pictured), Mystery Jets, Lykke Li, White Williams and Ipso Facto, as well as a fair number of film and photo exhibitions.
Pure Groove’s new shop at Smithfields market in north London will base its musical stock around the Pure Groove 100 – what the people running it deem to be the 100 most exciting releases of the moment – and will also give prominence to other offerings, showcasing art, visual and sartorial fare alongside any other ephemera in need of a shop shelf, such as a new clothing range put together in conjunction with London promoters No Pain in Pop.
Good times – full schedule for the shop’s relaunch below:
