Rock and Soul DJ Equipment and Records

Rock and soul has been a staple in my Dj career. I'm 38 and I've been going there since I'm 16. They have always carried top notch equipment for sale under what competitors have sold for for. These still amaze me with their prices and inventory! Sharon and the family are the best!!!

Low key one of my favorite spots to buy vinyl and gear. Great selection, especially hip hop. It’s also a great place to find turntables, samplers, and mixers. More intimate experience than shopping with one of the big gear sellers. Cool store all around.

I love everything about this store. It is a true diamond in NYC. We were looking for a digital piano for our home and Sharon walked us through all of the different models available. She explained how each one would perform, pointed out subtle differences between brands and models, and really listened when we told her our requirements and budget.
Rock and Soul feels like a group of friends who love music and instruments, love dj equipment, and love sharing their knowledge and expertise with their customers. I understand why so many people swear by this place as the best in NYC. I highly recommend this spot.

I absolutely love Rock and Soul DJ equipment and records!!!! Located conveniently right in the heart of NYC’s Garment district in Manhattan it is truly your one stop headquarters for everything DJ, including equipment, rentals, lessons etc as well as being a well renowned music store and record shop!!!! For more than 40 years it has tirelessly served music lovers worldwide with kindness, compassion and loving care. The staff is kind, caring compassionate and will bend over backwards to make sure you are happy with any and every purchase. Let me share a personal story, I had found Rock and Soul during the pandemic and my husband purchased for me my first DJ controller from them, it was truly amazing to get started on my DJ career and they give you all the right tools for getting you there. I was struggling emotionally with my outlook on music but Rock and Soul gives the support, friendship and help you need to thrive and there is truly a deep community feel among them, I cannot believe all the caring and support you get from them. They serve some of the biggest names in the business, like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Run from Run DMC, even members of Saturday night Live stop by for equipment so as an added perk you may even meet a celebrity while shopping there. DJs perform live sets during their featured record store days as well, so you can hear great live music sets while you shop. They carry some of the best and most reliable names in DJ equipment like Rane, Numark, Arturia etc. and will make sure your equipment works well and is shipped promptly and safely. They also carry all the best records with some of the best music worldwide! All these reasons and more are why I choose rock and soul whenever I’m in NYC! The staff is beyond amazing giving it their all everyday and it’s a great place for any music lover!!!
