Profile Music reviews
31 One of the most valuable places you can go to learn and discover new music.
Steve’s understanding of music and the culture surrounding it is something I have never even come close to experiencing and I could not be more grateful to have met him!
His outlook and knowledge is unmatched and is pivotal in anyone looking to develop and grow as an artist.
Profile music is the kind of place where you would move states just to experience more of.
Thank you Steve
Profile music is incredible and has a very good range of music from disco to electronic records. Steve is so helpful and is amazing for letting us play around with the vinyl and find new music. Best place!
This is the place that I come to to get records at a really superb price - Steve’s knowledge of music goes back decades, every suggestion he makes I trust.
$5 bin always has records a third of the price you will pay on Discogs - banging releases too, some less than a year old! Profile music is where I buy my techno and (when in stock) jungle / drum and bass.
Cannot recommend his service enough.
Profile music is so much more than a record store and what makes it so outstanding is the owner, Steve. Going to his store can literally be a life changing experience. Steve takes a personal interest in each person that enters his store, he uncovers layer upon layer to get to a deep understanding of what makes you tick musically and then forevermore he will cater to your needs. He will source and put aside music with you in mind as well as provide you with incredible recommendations to widen and elevate your music taste. Therefore, this is why so many people walk out of Steve’s store with more records happily tucked under their arms than expected!
Apart from Steve’s extraordinary musical knowledge and customer service, what makes him truly special is his extremely kind and generous personality. Apart from selling records, Steve offers support to all who enter his space - whether you are starting on your DJ journey, wanting to meet other musically likeminded people, or simply wanting advice with life. As such, profile music is a second home for me and many others who are part of the thriving community that Steve has created. I am forever grateful for Steve and the infinite love and kindness that he treats me with every time I visit his store. He is truly one of the best people I have ever met. Thank you Steve!
Great store for hard to find 12”, both the latest and those from back in the day. Always a great selection of mint condition used 12s too. Steve is super knowledgeable & helpful. Do yourself a favour. Let him blow your tiny mind…
Sensational service, Steve was very accomodating throughout and showed enthusiasm in unique records that suited my genre preference. Easily the best house and techno record store in Melbourne.
A very sophisticated record shop that has next to nothing the most niche and top quality records in town. Less is more and with a limited selection, this allows the buyer to not be overwhelmed by too many records. Instead allows them to be presented with rare records that you won’t find in many other shops in Melbourne. The service by Steve is purely for the customer as he has been in the game for many years and thoroughly understands what the buyer is looking for. Can’t reccomend enough.
Awesome store. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Steve’s knowledge of music is out of this world. Do yourself a favour and get down to profile music asap
This shop has become my second home in recent times. Steve is the don and has pushed me to enjoy different styles compared to what I previously listened to. Would 100% recommend a visit, although be warned that you may find too many good pieces and leave hours later than anticipated!
I knew this record shop had a great reputation before walking in but I'm blown away at the customer service from Steve. Such a knowledgable and respectable person. Not to mention the unreal & collectible records he had on the shelves!
Steve is a legend.really welcoming and nice environment.the records are quality and although the smaller amounts, there is amazing variation. 11/10
Steve doesn't just sell you vinyl, he engages customers and takes you on a journey though his rotating collection of music.always provides fantastic, hard to find records at a non Discogs price!
The best record store experience in Melbourne. On top of being a super friendly and knowledgeable guy, Steve's willing to spend time to find your sound and send you out the door with killer selections, for any genre preference.
The shelves are stocked with new and old music constantly rolling through, but you won't waste time digging through crates and crates of wax - it's a super minimalist, tidy shop with the very best hand picked goodies!
Be wary - come prepared with time, an open mind, and be prepared to spend a good chunk of your paycheck!
Amazing store, my experience with Steve and his quirky store is one of the better customer service experiences I have ever had.
Incredible store, highly recommend
Steve at Profile Music is one-of-a-kind and clearly not for everyone (as evidenced by some of the other reviewers). A shock to the system at first, you quickly realise that Steve is one of the most passionate and experienced vinyl dealers on the scene. You’ll walk out of his store with a bag full of heat, slightly confused about how you so willingly parted ways with your week’s pay.
What an incredible experience. Top quality records, owner was friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 - best record store in Melbourne.
I absolutely can recommend visiting Steve at Profile Music.
Steve's talent for quickly understanding your style, and his ability to considerately collate the perfect collection of hard to find and unique records is next to no one else in the industry.
Always friendly and warm, I enjoy Steve's company even more than the music. His passion to have you leave happy is not compromised by the retail industry; there have been times when Steve has honestly recommended waiting on purchases for something more my taste to.arrive, and consequently has lost a sale. This is his passion, and he generously shares it.
The shop itself is fun, stylish, perfectly located, and I have never visited without meeting other super people there.
Every time I come in here I feel like I could stay here for hours. Always has the best collection of music and Steve always knows what to give me. Highly recommend
This store is no joke. If you are serious about music this is for you. Steve will tear you apart and show you the sounds you never knew you really wanted to hear. Have never met someone with such a deep understanding of electronic music and he is very well priced - be warned though, i was spending my pay check every week for 5 months its an addiction!
Profile music is without a doubt the best record store in Melbourne. I have been collecting and digging for quality wax for a few years now, but it was when I went into Steve’s store around 12 months ago that I started to understand the beauty of this craft. This guy knows his meat and potatoes, and from the moment you walk in he will take you on a ride through some beautiful tunes. Steve has a knack for catering to your tastes but also expanding them.
I love this guy and I appreciate profile music so much! Take the time to listen and chat. And buy a record when he tells you to, you’ll never regret it.
