Not really my style as I’m not a DJ or electro musician, but the records are great ! The store has a cool vibe and always seems to have new stuff going on. I always try to go inside on my way down Yonge and check out what’s new. They have some keyboards you can try at the front and then DK equipment and records in the back.

I’ve since been able to hit this spot up more times recently because of where I work. It seems much more spacious than I remember, but still quite narrow at times (especially when it’s busy).
Shops dedicated to records and DJ gear/​culture are few and far between these days, so Play De is thankfully still holding strong.

I just wanted to update this review to say that an owner of the store privately messaged me, was very kind, and apologized to me. It’s obvious that the one employee who showed poor taste is NOT representative of the entire store staff.

Came here to purchase tickets for the Toronto Reggae Fest, the service was quick, friendly and efficient. I took a peak around and it looked like they had a great selection of records. Overall, very organized.

What do these all have in common with Play De Record?
They are all institutions!!! You can feel the history on the walls as you step foot into the long but narrow store. Tons of backstock and used records for the hip/​hop and r&b heads, same with soul and funk. New releases and represses for days as well. What makes this place shine though is its history with dance music. The hottest releases you can’t get anywhere else in Canada nevermind Toronto. Top of the line audio equipment to for dj’in and production, event tickets as well, staff are great to they know what they are talking about and what you get is what you see no pretentious bs like some other places in this city…

This place is a Toronto institution for music fans and dj’s alike.
They carry most genres and while not always having the newest releases, they make up for it with the pure amount of backstock.
You can dig for days for classic records in the crates, or go look at what the newest gear for digital dj’s is. They’ve also got some very cool shirts and clothing in the front of the place. Oh, and don’t forget to get your music event tickets there too.
Long live Play De!

I first went here in 1997 after SOURCE magazine did a feature on Toronto and listed Play De Record as one of the record hot spots. As I remember the prices were fair and the digging was excellent!
I hopefully will make my way back from LA to Toronto and pick this place dry knowing that I drove thousands of miles because I LOVE VINYL!

This place is great for music lovers. The main attraction for me, and most, is the extensive vinyl collection, even though they have DJ equipment and a great offering of CDs (mostly a lot or rare mix tape stuff).
They really do not slack here. They have exclusives, especially with a lot of Stones Throw releases, and you can find some rare ones in this place.
I even found the Thom Yorke Eraser Remixes on vinyl by pure chance one day.
They have turn tables set up so you can put on some records and give them listen. I have found some rare stuff this way and it’s a nice feeling of trust that they give you with the merch. They assume that you know what you are doing if you are coming into their store.
Some of my favorite vinyl records that I got in this place? J Dilla’s «Donuts» and Burial’s «Untrue». I even bought a box of 30 vinyl records for $ 6.99 one day. Found a Sneaker Pimps single in there, so this place is defiantly worth a peek. You never know what you may find.

Play De Record is a big old record store on Yonge Street. They have all the new stuff in several genres and rare, hard to find CDs and vinyl, but it’s the electronic music selection that mostly brings people here. They also ssell music electronics and DJ software. They also carry some clothing by local designers to round out the music themed stuff. The owner, Nav Sangha is a hot local DJ (Nasty Nav), and the owner of super trendy West end dace club, Wrongbar to boot.
