Big Dipper stands as one of Oslo's premier record destinations, operating from the city centre with nationwide online reach. Since its humble beginnings in Grünerløkka in 1999, this independent retailer has evolved into a comprehensive music hub, stocking vinyl across all genres alongside carefully selected hi-fi equipment, music books, and DVDs. The store's spacious layout features well-organised aisles with clear genre labelling, making navigation effortless for both casual browsers and serious collectors. Beyond retail, Big Dipper actively engages with the music community through in-store concerts, exclusive signing sessions with established and emerging artists, and regular newsletters featuring release information and music journalism. Their commitment to both new releases and quality used vinyl, combined with knowledgeable staff recommendations, creates an authentic record shop experience that serves Oslo's diverse musical tastes.
