Beatniks is also about community. Over the years we’ve become a regular stop for local collectors, visiting music fans and people who just like the feel of a proper record shop. We get involved in events like Record Store Day, run special releases and in-store promotions, and generally look for any excuse to celebrate music and the people who love it. If you drop by in person, you’re just as likely to get chatting about your favourite pressing as you are to walk out with something new to spin.

At the heart of it all, Beatniks exists for people who enjoy music as more than background noise. We’re here for the satisfaction of dropping the needle, flipping the record, reading the liner notes and hearing an album the way it was meant to be heard. Whether you visit us in Burleigh Heads or dig through our online crates from home, you’re supporting a truly independent record store that’s dedicated to keeping that experience alive.
