The Best Record Stores in Atlanta
Another record store that is more than worth a trip outside of 285 is DBS Sounds. The independent Black-owned shop is nestled into a Riverdale shopping strip, and it’s home to arguably the best reggae record section in the Metro Atlanta area. Founded by Tobago Benito in 1994, DBS Sounds is still feeling like a lively young record store, nearly three decades after its opening. The selection of new and used Hip-Hop, R&B, jazz, and reggae vinyl and CDs is impeccable, and beyond maintaining its awesome stock, DBS Sounds regularly holds huge artist signings, release events, and special giveaways. In 2022 alone, the shop has welcomed artists such as Kehlani, Gunna, Nav, Kali, and Yo Gotti into the store for packed-out events, so make sure you tap in with DBS Sounds to shop its records and keep up with its latest happenings.
