Where do we come from?

Launched in 2000 in a small shop in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, Store DJ was the first of its kind in Australia - a retailer servicing Australian DJs with both a physical shop front and an online store.

Since then, other competitors have entered the space, but Store DJ has stood apart with our competitive prices, professional advice and dedication to the DJ market: “We're not simply an offshoot of some pro audio shop - we're DJs first and foremost - and we know and love the gear we show off every day”.

2005: Vinyl Warning Pty Ltd, at that time Australia's largest online retailer of 12" vinyl records, acquires Store DJ. Consequently, in August 2005 the two businesses were combined and our head office was created at our Richmond store location.

2007: Store DJ acquires the business 'One Stop Deejay Equipment & Records Pty Ltd' - a very successful supplier of vinyl records and DJ equipment to the DJs of Sydney for over 13 years.

2009: Store DJ takes another leap forward, launching our third store in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, the city where it all began for Store DJ almost a decade earlier. This was a brand new shop, fitted out from scratch and boasting a large collection of our most popular products on display at all times. After six great years providing wax to Australian DJs, we close our vinyl division. A sign of the times, this allows us to concentrate our focus on equipment.

2012: Store DJ opened its fourth retail store which located in Cannington, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. This latest addition is our largest shop to date and offers our Western Australian customers their own dedicated space with a huge range on display.

2013: Store DJ Sydney moves from Stanmore to Leichhardt. The new Showroom is much larger, offering us the opportunity to have a wider range on display, as well as a new, massive lighting section.

2016: With gear piled on top of gear, our Melbourne store is getting too small. Deciding to renovate, we push back the rear wall, making space for more gear on demo. Also our Brisbane store is ready for a refresh, so a remodel allows us to better accommodate our expanding customer base.

Continuing our growth, we purchase the iconic Melbourne music store Mannys in Fitzroy North. This expands our offering, with Mannys stocking more traditional instruments such as guitars, basses, electric drums and pianos.

2017: We open a second Melbourne store in Fitzroy North, above Mannys, giving our customers in Melbourne's north a convenient store location. Along with this we expanded our national office to accommodate our ever-growing online customer service team, allowing us to continue our commitment to providing the best service possible.

2018: A year of renovation and expansion as the upgrades to our national office are finished and the decision is made to open two new Mannys stores - Brisbane and Sydney. Work is started on upgrading the existing Store DJ location in Brisbane, in a new space above the original store, while Sydney will be moving to a massive new building in Alexandria, once an extensive fitout had been completed.

2019: Amid much excitement and expectation our new Brisbane and Sydney stores open their doors. Both feature a brand new Store DJ location upstairs with Mannys downstairs and are our largest offerings to date. The bigger spaces allow us to demo and display more equipment than ever before and both stores are adorned with murals of iconic musicians painted by local street-artists.

2020: Store DJ Cannington moves to a huge showroom above the new Mannys Perth store. The West Leederville location follows on from our Brisbane and Sydney expansions with more on display, more room to demo, and more stunning murals of musical masters adorning the exterior walls.
