**DJTT Official Quesiton: What is your favorite LOCAL DJ store?** Hello DJTT Community! DJ TechTools is doing some research in our store department and we are curious. What are your favorite local DJ stores? Where do you go to buy equipment, records, ect? (When you can’t get it in the DJTT store 😉) Where do you like to rent DJ gear? We have a big project we are working so any help is greatly appreciated and this question is open to any city worldwide! Best, Dean _DJTT Contributor_ ---

Guitar Center is the best thing we have in my neck of the woods for actual gear. Their selection is decent, but the true finds are in the used gear. Plus, you get 30 days to play with the gear and return it if you don’t really like it. For records, there’s a pretty big shop that contains lots of house and techno called Twist & Shout. All the other record stores in town suck for club-type stuff. ---

Platinum records in Portland, Oregon is the only local shop that I know of in these neck of the woods. I used to go to this one shop in Kaneohe, HI behind Windward Mall back in the days but I’d imagine that it’s closed by now. ---

> [@""](#): > > i used to shop at tribe a lot when I was a drum’n’bass head, a great little shop. Didn’t Waxwerks close down when they closed The Garage (LINK) Yeah Tribe has some nice stuff - didn’t realise about Waxwerks - shows the last time I bought any records 🙂
