About Us

Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie, NY is the Hudson Valley’s largest brick & mortar independent record shop and six-time Best of the Hudson Valley ‘Best Record Store’ winner!

Since opening our doors in January 2011 in the heart of the Poughkeepsie, Darkside has established itself as a music lovers’ destination, specializing in the sale of vinyl records, CDs, movies, new/used turntables, gifts and more. Locally owned, Darkside is the genesis of a group of friends who love music & believe that the physical format is not dead.

We've set out to re-invent what being a music store means and strive to be your go to independent record store - even if you don't live locally. Over the years we've made so many great friends, both here in the Hudson Valley, and all over the country. Thanks for coming along for the ride 💚
