  • Taylor Hill

This place is a PDX institution. Very knowledgable, friendly, and helpful staff here. They're always down to listen, explain, and assist through a project. I will often research a product online first, and then go to Platinum for the expert advice and support. Cool records too and good prices. Shop local!

I called to ask if they had a record, to give them my business, the dude I was talking to seemed aggravated that I was asking about records and said "We do have a bunch of new DJ equipment though!" As if it was a problem that I wanted to buy a record from them. How about don't sell records then?

  • Anthoney Baker

Platinum Records is the best record store in town. They have all new stuff still in the plastic! Located next to Kell’s Pub in SW this shop has a great selection of new and used pro audio gear. Jeff is a delight and very helpful. Make sure you check out Platinum Records Light & Sound!

  • Shiloh O'Connor

Terrible place to buy records. All the desirable artist LP's have sold out, and anything affordable is totally scratched. Avoid, there are much better record stores even downtown. May be a good place to buy DJ equipment, but definitely not a place for picking up Records or 45's.

  • Steve Stogner

The best store in Oregon for DJ equipment & the best selection of new and used records on the West Coast. I've been shopping here since 1996 and it's always been my go to store for all my DJing needs. Love you guys, your customer service is awesome! …

Fantastic experience buying some DJ headphones (locally!!). Very friendly staff and even though I'm absolutely a rookie/casual basement DJ they treated me as if I was the next DJ at EDC. Will recommend and return for any future DJ equipment needs.

Amazing shop. Been going here since 2011. Taken the DJ classes and finished it, now in 2019 retaking it for refresher. Great deals on equipment and vinyl. They make you feel like family here. Tony, scott and all the rest. 10/10 best shop around.

I live in Portland and was trying to buy a Rane four online with PayPal and want it to pick it up from the store since im local. Well the guy that answered said that if I bought it online I can’t pick it up and can only be shipped. I

I couldn’t give these guys a better rating or else I would. I searched far and wide for the Rane Four. Not only did they get it to me but they accommodated me and my requirements and absolute delivered in record time. They were

Great Sale going on right now on tons of vinyl. I've been doing business with these guys since around 1994 and they always treat me good. They have quite a selection of gear now too so you can get everything there.

  • L8RB4 Design

Great place to buy DJ gear and records. The Thing is very helpful when it comes to the funk selection. DJ Mafia knows his lights and gear. Scott is super nice and dreamy. Frankie fixes your stuff fast.

  • Willy Allen

This was great. A lot of old & new music. A lot of albums were i believe used during turn table days/bars/ disvo clubs Mist albums have 1-2 songs on them. They had a Groupon for $20 for $40 of music.

Great shop with knowledgeable staff. All kinds of electronic music available as well as a big room full of gear. If you're building a club in your basement this is the place to go.

Really good if you're DJing and are looking for singles from somewhat obscure bands, but not as good if you want the latest releases.

great place for many reasons, I had questions about streaming a show, and I learned more in 15 minutes that hours of YouTube videos.

They always have what I need in stock, often at a lower price than online dealers. Great Portland institution!
