Not an awful lot of new dance vinyl this week, but there's D'n'B from Xample, & Sonic; the Soul Jazz dubstep compilation is on heavyweight vinyl; old scary tats Amy Winehouse's album appears on vinyl; the excellent Hot Chip DJ kicks has some cool disco and leftfield goodies on it; very limited copies of a cool Tom Tom Club/CSS mash up; and Brighton's answer to the Coachwhips, The Sticks, unleash a 10" platter. Pop in midweek as we are expecting a huge load of top vinyl reissues from the states, everything from classic funk and soul through to those lovely new Matador 180g represses of Pavement, Belle & Sebastian, & Interpol.
